Publication number: 20240111911Abstract: In one implementation, a method for spatially designating private content. The method includes: presenting, via a display device, an indication of a private viewing region relative to a location of the computing system; determining a first location for presentation of graphical content; and presenting, via the display device, the graphical content at the first location. The method further includes: transmitting a characterization vector associated with the graphical content to at least one other device for display thereon according to a determination that the first location of the graphical content is outside of the private viewing area; and forgoing transmission of the characterization vector associated with the graphical content to the at least one other device according to a determination that the first location of the graphical content is inside of the private viewing area.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Bart Colin Trzynadlowski, Thomas G.

Patent number: 11938989Abstract: A child seat includes a base and a seatback movable relative thereto between a retracted position, in which the seatback preferably is flush with a top of the base, and an extended position, in which a sitting area of the child seat is exposed for sitting and in which the seatback serves to support a child's back. The seatback of the child seat preferably includes a seat belt for restraint of a child when seated in the sitting area. A shopping cart includes the child seat. The seatback includes a gate movable between a retracted position, in which the gate preferably is flush with the seatback, and an extended position, in which the gate extends in a generally upright manner and partially blocks leg openings of the basket to keep items from falling there through when the seatback is in the retracted position.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2023Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: ZIBRA, LLCInventors: Michael Milton Sherman, William Lane Ball

Patent number: 11938905Abstract: Provided herein is a security mounting bracket device that can be used to securely connect a crossbar to a mounted object. The device is shaped to form a contoured fit with the crossbar and adapted for use with a security nut and bolt rendering both nut and bolt unexposed outside of the device and inaccessible to tools that may be used to forcibly remove the mounted object. The security mounting bracket device can be used as an antitheft device as a security socket is required to remove the nut from the security mounting bracket. The contoured fit reduces the movement of the crossbar within the security mounting bracket device therefore reducing vibrationally induced failure of the mount and loss of mounted object. The security mounting bracket device smooth edges and unexposed nut and bolt also make it a safer bracket for the user in assembly.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Inventor: Ian William Lane-Lohse

Publication number: 20240059336Abstract: A cart includes a chassis and attached wheels; an upper basket attached to the chassis; and a lower basket attached to the chassis. In some embodiments, the cart includes no widthwise push bar in a rear of the cart such that access is unobstructed to the upper and lower baskets from the rear of the cart by a person. In some embodiments, the chassis defines on each lateral side of the cart a pair of vertically spaced handles, each handle surrounding and defining an opening. The handles preferably include handle bars shaped in an oval. On each cart side a curved elongate member extends between and connects the handles, and the curved elongate members represent the rearmost part of the cart. The rear area of the upper basket defines a seat for an infant, and a rear ledge of the lower basket defines a seat for a toddler.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 3, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Michael Milton SHERMAN, William Lane BALL

Publication number: 20230115244Abstract: An automated system for administering food to laboratory animals housed in aquatic tanks includes a plurality of individual feeding units that independently communicate with a common feed management hub. Each feeding unit includes a rack for holding a collection of aquatic tanks and a wireless robotic feeder configured to move in three dimensions relative to the rack. The robotic feeder precisely meters and delivers liquid and/or dry food to each rack-mounted tank in accordance with user-modifiable feed schedules which are maintained by the feed management hub. To compensate for any adjustments to the particular arrangement of tanks within a feeding unit, the robotic feeder periodically scans the rack for tanks and transmits the scan data back to the feed management hub. Accordingly, the feed management hub ensures that the proper type of food is accurately and timely delivered to each aquatic tank in compliance with the stored feed schedules.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2022Publication date: April 13, 2023Inventors: Robert J.
