A: The status of a printed patent application like this can be checked online. This can be done either at the US patent office, https://patentcenter.uspto.gov/, or using alternate sources such as patents.google.com.

In this case, the answer is that the patent application was abandoned.

A: To determine whether the device was patented, I recommend conducting a patent search using the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) database or consulting with a patent professional.
