Patent number: 9198436Abstract: A barbeque oven is provided with the capacity to cook a variety of food items. The barbeque oven of the present invention includes a cooking tray that is slideable between a first position, where the cooking tray is located substantially within the cooking chamber and the cooking tray is driven by a driving member, and a second position, where at least a portion of the cooking tray extends through an opening in the oven housing and the cooking tray is disengaged from the driving member such that the cooking tray freely rotates. As a result, unlike conventional barbeque ovens, an operator using the present invention need not bend over nor reach far to flip, rotate, or otherwise access the food items on the cooking tray.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2007Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Inventor: William C.

Patent number: 6775356Abstract: An emergency call initiated from a wireline or wireless device is recognized at a point along a network path and an alert signal is generated. Additional information including real-time incident and response information is collected in response to the alert signal. The emergency call is associated with the additional information separate from information in the emergency call. A call is then automatically placed to a telephone number designated by the subscriber, the call including the additional information. The real-time incident and response information includes the location of the calling device, and one or more of incident specific information, person specific information, and vehicle specific information.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2001Date of Patent: August 10, 2004Inventors: Angelo Salvucci, Don E.

Patent number: 6504909Abstract: A registration method in a system for calling designated addressable notify devices in response to a 9-1-1 call. When a registration call is received from a new customer, the software proceeds with a voice answerback menu to register numbers to be notified. Two choices are provided. The customer can choose a standard notify service or a reverse notify service. In standard notify service parties designated by the customer are notified of 9-1-1 calls originating at the customers telephone. In reverse notify service if a party designated by the customer calls 9-1-1, the customer is notified of 9-1-1 calls originating at the designated party's telephone. The notify numbers are stored in a list in a database memory maintained by the notify service. If a call is received from a current subscriber, the software proceeds with a voice answerback menu to update the previously registered numbers to be notified.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2000Date of Patent: January 7, 2003Inventors: William C. Cook, Don E. Reich, Kurt E. Warner, Angelo Salvucci

Patent number: 6151385Abstract: A system for calling designated addressable notify devices in response to a query to a local telephone company's ALI database system. An advertisement of the 9-1-1-call notification service directs the new subscriber to contact their local telephone provider to register with the new service. The local telephone provider supplies the new system with the registered subscriber's telephone number (ANI) and password. The new subscriber them calls the new service provider directly to register their addressable communication devices to be notified pending a positive reaction to an ALI database system query and the service providers subscriber database. When a registration call is received from a new subscriber, the software proceeds with a voice answerback menu to register numbers to be notified. The notify numbers are stored in a list in a database memory maintained by the notify service.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 1999Date of Patent: November 21, 2000Assignee: 911 Notify.com, L.L.C.Inventors: Don E. Reich, Angelo Salvucci, Kurt E. Warner, William C. Cook

Patent number: 5104477Abstract: Elastomer structures having exposed controlled surface release characteristics can be made by coating at least a portion of their surface with a releasing composition comprising (a) a chlorosulphonated polymer; (b) a reinforcing filler and (c) a green tackifying agent. Optionally, these compositions can also contain a chemical curing system and one or more volatile solvent/diluent viscosity-reducing vehicle. In a specific example, the coating are applied to flexible structures used in machines for the manufacture of articles having natural tack due to their rubber or elastomer content.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 1989Date of Patent: April 14, 1992Assignee: Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc.Inventors: Cleo M. Williams, Myron D. Sanders, William C. Cook

Patent number: 4381857Abstract: An improved air/oil shock absorber (16) especially adapted for aircraft landing gears (11) is provided whereby the rate of strut (14) compression is programmed separately for the landing impact and for rollout after the landing. During the landing impact, increased tail clearance is achieved by temporarily delaying the last few inches of compression. After the aircraft rotates on to the nose landing gear, the shock absorber (16) slowly compresses to its static position where it then functions in a conventional manner. The shock absorber assembly (16) may be oriented in any position with respect to the aircraft (10) by virtue of two internal air/oil separator pistons (24 and 29).Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 1980Date of Patent: May 3, 1983Assignee: Lockheed CorporationInventor: William C. Cook

Patent number: 4228425Abstract: A tamper-proof transparent security plate has a laminated structure of a break-resistant, normally transparent plate member which becomes opaque upon forceful penetration and a transparent alarm plate containing a plurality of frangible electrically conductive wires extending across an area to be protected. Efforts to break the laminated structure render it opaque, making it extremely difficult to locate and tamper with the wires of the alarm plate. Moreover, a selected subset of the wires can be excluded from a series alarm grid to further thwart efforts to bypass an associated alarm circuit. In a preferred embodiment, the voltage applied to the wires is adjustable to provide an optional heating, de-icing, or defogging capability.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 1978Date of Patent: October 14, 1980Assignee: AFG Industries, Inc.Inventor: William C. Cooke

Patent number: 4016645Abstract: An electric heater plate is disclosed comprising a sheet of tempered glass with a metallized aluminum circuit extending over the face thereof for carrying an electrical heating current. At the terminals of the metallized aluminum circuit there is provided a terminal area of silver between the glass and the metallized aluminum coating, which silver terminals are each exposed through a small opening in the metallized aluminum coating such that lead wires may be soldered to the silver through said openings.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 1975Date of Patent: April 12, 1977Assignee: ASG Industries, Inc.Inventor: William C. Cooke

Patent number: 4016324Abstract: A float or plate glass spandrel, preferably heat strengthened, coated with a thin film of metal has secured thereto on the metallic side thereof an insulation board. A barrier material such as a paint coating and a cotton muslin is interposed between the metallic coating and the insulation board to prevent "show through" of the insulation board and to insure adequate bonding.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 1974Date of Patent: April 5, 1977Assignee: ASG Industries, Inc.Inventors: William C. Cooke, Albert H. Agett

Patent number: 3978249Abstract: A method is disclosed for producing intricate metal designs bonded to glass such as required in electrical resistance heating circuits, microwave oven panel shields and the like. The method includes the application to a sheet of glass of the negative of the desired design by silk screening or other screening techniques utilizing a screenable pasting agent which screens through the negative pattern and adheres temporarily to the glass. The entire sheet of glass is then coated with the desired metal, usually aluminum, according to known metallizing techniques in which flame-atomized metal is applied to the heated glass sheet and thus bonds thereto. The metallized surface is then brushed with wire rotary brushes which remove the metal from those areas where the screenable pasting agent has been applied. After washing, further wet brushing, rinsing and drying, the positive desired design in metal remains securely bonded to the glass.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 1974Date of Patent: August 31, 1976Assignee: ASG Industries, Inc.Inventor: William C. Cooke
