Appl. No.:

29/281359

Inventors:

Steven C. Dixon - Carlsbad CA, US

International Classification:

0301

US Classification:

D 3218

US Patent:

8115656, Feb 14, 2012

Filed:

Feb 25, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/392942

Inventors:

Kurt Bevacqua - Carlsbad CA, US
Mark A. Osman - La Jolla CA, US
Steven C. Dixon - Lincoln Park NJ, US

Assignee:

Recovery Systems Holdings, LLC - San Diego CA

International Classification:

G08G 1/123

US Classification:

340989, 340438, 3409951

Abstract:

A vehicle monitoring system includes a communication subsystem configured to provide two-way wireless communication, and a controller mounted in a vehicle and configured to receive data indicative of a location of the vehicle and to control the communication subsystem to transmit the data indicative of the vehicle location toward a remote communication center and receive operational information transmitted from the remote communication center. The controller receives a mode change command included in the operational information and in response changes operating mode between an authorization mode, in which the controller transmits an alert signal to the remote communication center, and a tracking mode, in which the controller transmits the data indicative of vehicle location continuously at predetermined intervals regardless of the authorization signal.

Appl. No.:

11/766378

Inventors:

Steven C. Dixon - Carlsbad CA, US
Harald Richter - Englesbrand, DE

International Classification:

B65D 25/00

US Classification:

224197

Abstract:

A holder for an electronic device comprises a clip, a hub and a plurality of arms. The hub is removably engaged with the clip. The plurality of arms extends from the hub, each arm having a proximal end connected to the hub and a distal end having a pocket shaped to receive a corner of the electronic device. Each pocket may be shaped to substantially surround the corresponding received corner. The holder may comprise four arms extending radially from the hub such that the arms form an X shape. The arms may be semi-rigid. The clip may further comprise a swivel connector, such that the hub is engaged with the clip via the swivel connector.

Filed:

Jan 5, 1999

Appl. No.:

9/225984

Inventors:

Steven C. Dixon - Bonita CA

International Classification:

H02J 702

US Classification:

320111

Abstract:

An article is disclosed which provides for powering or charging the battery of a variety of different electronic devices, with the article being in two parts. The first part has components such that it is "universal" for use with all of the variety of different devices, and the second part has components which are specific to the operation of only a single model, type or brand of such device or of closely related devices which operate with the same voltage and plug-compatibility requirements of the specific device. In particular, the article with both parts (modules) present will operate a specific model, type or brand of device. However one can disconnect the two parts from each other and connect a different second part for a different device to the same first part, thereby being able to operate two different devices with substitution of only one part (the second) rather than requiring substitution of the entire article when a difference device must be powered or its battery charged. The article is particularly useful for powering or charging the batteries of devices such as cellular telephones, computers and the like from house, office or other building electrical systems or from vehicle electrical systems.
