US Patent:

20040035026, Feb 26, 2004

Filed:

Aug 22, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/227236

Inventors:

Richard Foster - Huntington Beach CA, US

International Classification:

A43B005/00
A43B003/18

US Classification:

036/135000, 036/007200

Abstract:

A track and field shoe has spikes extending outwardly from a forward portion of an outsole of the shoe. A shoe cover provides a bottom plate resting in contact with the forward portion of the outsole of the shoe and has a similar peripheral shape. The shoe cover further includes an elastic clamping fabric engaged on three mutual edges peripherally with the bottom plate. A fourth mutual peripheral edge of the clamping fabric and the bottom plate forms an opening into the shoe cover for accepting a tip of the shoe inserted into it upon stretching the clamping fabric. A hem in the clamping fabric extends parallel and adjacent to the fourth peripheral edge and terminates with a hem seam. The hem seam has a maximum elastic yield below that of the clamping fabric. This is critical as it allows the clamping fabric to stretch to fit a wide range of shoes, while enabling the hem seam to fit more tightly around the tip of the shoe applying a clamping force.

Cecil John Miller - Tarzana CA
Richard W. Foster - Glendale CA

International Classification:

H04M 1100
H04G 300

US Classification:

179 2A

Abstract:

A system for providing a record of each time any one of a plurality of remotely located locking devices is operated, as well as the number of the key used for each lock actuation. The disclosed system includes means located at each secured premises for sensing the actuation of the lock and the number of the actuation key; means for automatically telephoning to a central office the key number as well as a code which identifies the reporting facility; and means at the central office for recording this data and its time of receipt, and for providing a printout thereof.

Appl. No.:

8/686824

Inventors:

Richard W. Foster - Costa Mesa CA

Assignee:

Hirsch Electronics Corporation - Irvine CA

International Classification:

G06F 704
H03G 320
G10L 300

US Classification:

704273

Abstract:

Speech actuated security devices and methods whereby a lock, or other security or access device, may be actuated by a speech input thereto, but without disclosure of the actual code where doing so to those hearing the code words spoken during use of the security device. The security device includes a microphone, a display for displaying a plurality of code elements, and a processor for controlling the display and analyzing the microphone signal to detect a proper sequence of code elements spoken by a user as detected by the microphone and to operate the security device in response thereto. The code elements are displayed on the display under processor control in various patterns. With the proper sequence of code elements for operation of the security device not being a preset sequence of code elements, but rather being the code elements which appear in each of a proper sequence of spatial code element positions in the pattern of code elements being displayed by making the code elements displayed in the pattern viewable only by the user during use of the security device. Hearing the code elements being spoken by the user conveys no information about the actual code as a spoken sequence which will operate the security device at any one time and will change for the next operation of the security device by the reassignment of the code elements to new spatial positions within the pattern of code elements in the display. Various embodiments and methods of operation thereof are disclosed.

Appl. No.:

17/660019

Inventors:

- Chandler AZ, US
Jeremy Dean Warriner - Longmont CO, US
Richard Stuart Foster - Louisville CO, US

International Classification:

G01S 1/04
H04W 12/03
G01S 7/282
G01S 1/24

Abstract:

A method is disclosed. In various examples, the method may include receiving an instruction for generating a signal comprising a ranging signal and a data signal. The method may also include transmitting, via a terrestrial transmitter for transmitting radio waves having encoded messaging information and timing information for one or more of positioning, navigation and timing, the signal at least partially responsive to the instruction. The signal may include a pulse group comprising a number of ranging pulses and a number of data pulses subsequent to the number of ranging pulses. Respective ones of the number of data pulses may have a phase of either a positive-going phase or a negative-going phase. Information may be encoded using the either positive-going phases or negative-going phases of the data pulses.

- Chandler AZ, US
Jeremy Dean Warriner - Longmont CO, US
Richard Stuart Foster - Louisville CO, US

International Classification:

G01S 1/24

Abstract:

A device is disclosed. In one or more examples, the device may include an antenna to receive a signal comprising a ranging signal and a data signal. The signal may encode timing information for one or more of positioning, navigation, and timing. The signal may include a first pulse having a first start time and a second pulse having a second start time. The second start time may be an integer number of inter-pulse intervals plus an encoding delay after the first start time. The encoding delay may encode data. The device may include a processor to obtain the data responsive to the encoding delay.
