Patent number: 9578096Abstract: A peer-to-peer email system and methods are provided for distributed email distribution, prevention of SPAM, and efficient email storage. Each email client also serves as a node in the peer-to-peer system, relaying email messages and/or attachments. Large attachments may be transmitted directly from sender to receiver, and if the receiver is not online at the time the sender sends the attachment, the receiver can request the attachment from the sender at a later time.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2015Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: Scayl, Inc.Inventors: William R. Kallman, Donald L. Hoffman, Mark T. Mitchell

Patent number: 5900720Abstract: A power and control system for micro-electronics is described, as for lightweight, battery-powered electrochromic (EC) eyewear. Preferably such system includes a primary, lithium-type cell and a secondary, sealed lead acid-type cell in a hybrid, power-sharing configuration capable of supplying the low-energy, high-current (pulse) drain requirements of microelectronics, e.g. a switchable EC lens. A switch-mode power supply controller manages the power-sharing load on the hybrid battery system such that the secondary cell is charged by the primary cell. The system is capable of meeting short-term pulse drain requirements of switching EC lenses from clear to fully darkened at an acceptably fast rate and long-term operating life requirements of approximately 1500 cycles.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 1997Date of Patent: May 4, 1999Inventors: William R. Kallman, Mark B. Roberts, David F. Baretich

Patent number: 5657150Abstract: An electrochromic device for use in the field of optical lenses. The device includes a substrate having an expanse and an edge region. A first electrode layer is coated on the expanse and extends substantially across the expanse and into the edge region. An electrochromic layer is coated on the first electrode so that the first electrode layer physically isolates the electrochromic layer from the substrate. A second electrode layer is coated on the electrochromic layer, so that the electrochromic layer physically isolates the second electrode layer from the first electrode layer. A first contact is electrically connected to the first electrode layer. An isolative barrier is coated on the first electrode layer in the edge region. A second contact is electrically connected to the second electrode layer. Alternatively, an isolative channel is formed in the second electrode layer to electrically isolate the first electrode layer from the second electrode layer.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 1994Date of Patent: August 12, 1997Assignee: Eyeonics CorporationInventors: William R. Kallman, James D. Williams, Albert E. Ozias, Leonard M. Dorfman, Christian F. Schaus, Geoffrey A. Russell, Scott G. Wills, David G. Keeney
