Patent number: 8860289Abstract: An LED light bulb device including a bulb body, heat sink stems and LEDs. The bulb body defines an exterior and an interior region. The heat sink stems are discrete from one another and extend along the bulb body in a circumferentially spaced fashion. A first LED is directly supported by the first heat sink stem, and a second LED is directly supported by the second heat sink stem. Light from the LEDs is directed inwardly into the interior region and then outwardly from the interior region.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2013Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: Forever Bulb, LLCInventors: David W. Carroll, Wendell L. Carroll

Patent number: 8421322Abstract: An LED light bulb device including a bulb body, a cap and an LED assembly. The bulb body defines an exterior surface and an interior. The cap is mounted to the bulb body, combining to define a light bulb-like structure. The LED assembly includes a substrate, LEDs, transformer circuitry and connective circuitry. The LEDs and the connective circuitry are maintained by the substrate, with the connective circuitry electrically connecting the LEDs and the transformer circuitry. The transformer circuitry is adapted to modify incoming power for powering the LEDs. The LED assembly is mounted to the light bulb-like structure such that the LEDs are disposed along the exterior surface of the bulb body, with light from the LEDs being directed inwardly into the interior and then outwardly from the interior. The LED assembly can further include a heat sink body encompassing the LEDs.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2011Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: Forever Bulb, LLCInventors: David W. Carroll, Wendell L. Carroll

Patent number: 6285757Abstract: A body-wearable interactive device with a retractable earbud and a microphone provides data, audio and voice communication with a wearable personal computing or other remote device. Full voice and display interface with a personal computer can be achieved with the use of a wireless link between the input/output device and computer. The device is adapted for use with a variety of ancillary communications devices to provide flexibility in field and mobile communications scenarios. Corresponding methods are also disclosed by which a wearer can effect communication through and with the interactive device.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 1998Date of Patent: September 4, 2001Assignee: ViA, Inc.Inventors: David W. Carroll, Wendell L. Carroll, James L. Carroll, Steven V. Case, Matthew H. Rust

Patent number: 5413231Abstract: A bottle handle specially adapted to lift large beverage bottles including a spout, a body and a base. The bottle handle includes a spout attachment mechanism, a base engagement mechanism and a handle operably coupled to the spout attachment mechanism and base engagement mechanism. In operation, when the handle is lifted, the action biases the spout attachment means against the bottle spout and the base engagement means against the bottle base to support and lift the bottle.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 1993Date of Patent: May 9, 1995Inventors: David W. Carroll, Wendell L. Carroll, Jimmy W. Davidson
