Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110153526Static Ad Frame - A static ad frame used vertically and horizontally around the viewing area of a flat panel television or digital display to advertise, promote, market, and/or convey a message to individuals viewing content on the associated flat panel television or digital display via images and/or words printed on the frame's exposed front surface. It is preferably made from lightweight and rigid signboard material, and is attached to the front of the flat panel television or digital display via fastening means. No loss of functionality in the associated flat panel television or digital display occurs, or degradation of performance, as a result of signboard use. Content on the signboard is seen both actively and passively by viewers of the associated flat panel television or digital display. Optionally, a permanent message, an erasable surface that facilitates impromptu/dynamic messaging, lightweight cutouts creating 3-dimensional effects, and accommodation for infrared relay devices, may also be provided.06-23-2011

20100224751Flat Panel TV Accessory Mounting Bracket and Enclosure - A mounting system that utilizes latches, an enclosure, and bracket bars to ensure secure and precise mounting of decorative flat panel TV frames or other flat panel Other TV accessories to a myriad of VESA-compliant and non-VESA-compliant flat panel LCD/Plasma televisions. The system comprises three major parts. The first part is its bracket bars that attach securely with screws to the back of the television, either independently or between the television and an independent third party wall mounting bracket. The second part comprises a preferably wooden enclosure that acts as an inner frame to enclose the TV and provide scaffolding to which decorative flat panel TV frames or other flat panel Other TV accessories can be attached. The third part comprises a latching system that mates the first and second parts together. The system may also comprise a frame mount and adjustably positioned mounting blocks to accommodate non-VESA-compliant televisions.09-09-2010
20100228621Method of Using a Flat Panel Television to Deliver Digital Content to a Targeted Demographic - A method of using a digital content display frame around a flat panel television that allows advertisers to use the attention-capturing power of television to reach a targeted demographic with content rich, high definition media in any location where a flat panel television is, or could be, located. Dynamic digital content is displayed on the centrally-located flat panel television, including plasma and LCD televisions, and/or on any combination of the display panels in the frame around it, which preferably comprises four panels in a rectangular configuration, but is not limited thereto. Digital content on any of the display panels can be independent or unified with any other panel, and/or the television. Content management of the displayed digital content can be remotely accomplished via one or more web interfaces, as well as locally via on-board USB, Cat5 wiring, firewire-type technology, and/or other means allowing quick upload of local content.09-09-2010

20100213779PERMANENT MAGNET MOTOR OR ACTUATOR WITH FIELD WEAKENING CAPABILITY - The present disclosure relates generally to a permanent magnet, brushless motor comprising a primary rotor having alternating magnetic poles around a circumference, a secondary rotor similar to the primary rotor. The primary rotor may be free to rotate by approximately plus or minus one pole of the secondary rotor. As such, when the two rotor components have opposite polarities aligned, the motor may be in a field weakened state. Generally, the field weakened state may be the normal state of the motor. As a significant load is encountered, the rotors may automatically transition to a non-weakened state wherein similar polarities are aligned on the rotors. A permanent magnet, brushless motor as described herein may be employed at a motor level or integrated into a linear actuator, wherein the rotor of the permanent magnet, brushless motor may include a hollow shaft.08-26-2010

20110005953Defibrillators storage and carrying device - A storage assembly houses a defibrillator and enables would-be users to quickly (1) identify the defibrillator location and (2) carry the housed defibrillator to a user site. The storage assembly comprises a cover structure, a mounting assembly, and a defibrillator-restraining assembly. The cover structure comprises an open back, a closed front, a cover wall extending from the front to the back, a heart-shaped transverse cross-section. The cover wall spaces the front from the back and has a transverse periphery thereby defining a space sufficient to receive and house the defibrillator. The mounting assembly removably mounts the cover structure to a support wall, and the defibrillator-restraining assembly removably restrains the defibrillator as received within the cover structure. The cover structure may be nested with at least one additional cover structure for reducing space necessary for storage and the like. An optional alarm may be outfitted with the assembly.01-13-2011
