US Patent:

20010042150, Nov 15, 2001
Filed:

Jun 8, 2001
Appl. No.:

09/877562
Inventors:

John Moroz - Plymouth MN, US
Gary Altenberg - Buffalo MN, US
James Ternus - Maple Grove MN, US
International Classification:

G06F013/00
US Classification:

710/103000
Abstract:

A universal docking station for coupling a portable computer to a plurality of peripheral devices via a PCMCIA interface is provided, wherein at least one of the peripheral devices is a user input device. The docking station comprises a PCMCIA interface adapted to be coupled to the portable computer, peripheral control units adapted to be coupled to the plurality of peripheral devices, and a docking station control unit coupled to the PCMCIA interface and the peripheral control units, wherein the docking station control unit selectively transfers data between the PCMCIA interface and one of the peripheral control units, and wherein the docking station control unit extends the period of time data written by the computer remains stable on the PCMCIA interface. A computer system including the universal docking station is also provided. A method for interfacing a standard peripheral device to a computer via a PCMCIA bus is also provided.

US Patent:

20200333756, Oct 22, 2020
Filed:

Jun 30, 2020
Appl. No.:

16/917806
Inventors:

Arthur Steven Weik - Fairfax VA, US
Gary A. Altenberg - Buffalo MN, US
Aaron Altscher - Columbia MD, US
David Fields - Baltimore MD, US
International Classification:

G05B 19/042
E05F 15/70
G06F 16/23
Abstract:

A system is provided which is designed for the management of the data and data files associated with the manufacturing, installation, operation and maintenance of a door motor control system typically found on industrial doors and gates. The system uses elements and programs useful to anyone familiar with common technologies such as APPs on Smartphones, thumb drives and touch screen display technologies. Since this familiarity already exists as a standard expertise among a broad range of people, the training component necessary to achieve competency in the field of motorized doors can be greatly reduced.

US Patent:

20150081736, Mar 19, 2015
Filed:

Aug 29, 2014
Appl. No.:

14/473050
Inventors:

Arthur Steven Weik - Fairfax VA, US
Gary A. Altenberg - Buffalo MN, US
James Ternus - Rogers MN, US
David Fields - Alexandria VA, US
International Classification:

H04L 29/06
G06F 17/30
US Classification:

707783
Abstract:

An on-line portal access and management system uses multiple ip devices organized on a server application with multiple level restricted log-in and event logging. The program with multiple connected IP devices allows the credentialed user to access and organize the capabilities of the multiple system connected IP devices through a single login portal. The IP devices operate equipment such as doors, gates, cameras, access control systems, VOIP intercoms, HVAC systems and other IP based systems typically found in multi-story buildings or multi building campuses. The IP devices generate data logged and archived to the IP device memory media or local data storage device. The application program sifts the IP device generated data for user important information and moves important IP device generated information to the server based memory and data files.
