Filed:

Feb 22, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/402118

Inventors:

Benjamin Miller - Washington DC, US

International Classification:

G06Q 40/06

US Classification:

705 36 R

Abstract:

A system for online securitization of illiquid assets is disclosed. The system includes a physical storage media storing instructions for administering online securitization of illiquid assets and a processor. The processor is configured to execute the instructions for performing a method of receiving, over a network and from an owner of an illiquid asset, information relating to the illiquid asset. The processor is further configured for analyzing the information relating to the illiquid asset; securitizing the illiquid asset; generating an offer for purchasing an interest in the illiquid asset. The processor is further configured for transmitting the offer to an investor over the network; receiving payment from the investor, the payment being provided in consideration for the interest in the illiquid asset; and executing a transaction to transfer the interest in the illiquid asset to the investor.

Appl. No.:

9/396232

Inventors:

Benjamin K. Miller - League City TX
James E. Halwachs - Ferndale WA
Arnold F. Farstad - Boulder CO

Assignee:

Johnson Engineering Corporation - Webster TX

International Classification:

H04B 1302

US Classification:

367134

Abstract:

A system is disclosed for locating swimmers who could be in danger of drowning, as determined by preset parameters such as the time duration that they remain at a depth where breathing is impossible. In this system, each individual swimmer wears a SONAR Swimmer Location Monitor (SSLM). This is a miniature electronic device that not only determines the extent of the swimmer's danger but also emits an ultrasonic alarm signal whenever such danger exists. At each occurrence, an alarm, which may be audible and/or visual, is sounded on the surface. Meanwhile the swimmer's location is tracked in real time from the signals received on a hydrophone array deployed along the perimeter of the swimming area. These signals are combined in a central processor and the computed real-time location is displayed graphically on a monitor to guide the guard personnel in rescue operations. The invention is intended for use in pools, beaches, water parks, and other swimming areas.

Abstract:

A system is disclosed for locating swimmers who could be in danger of drowning, as determined by preset parameters such as the time duration that they remain at a depth where breathing is impossible. In this system, each individual swimmer wears a Swimmer Location Monitor (SLM). This is a miniature electronic device that not only determines the extent of the swimmer's danger but also emits an electromagnetic alarm signal whenever such a danger exists. At each occurrence, an alarm, which may be audible and/or visual, is sounded on the surface while the swimmer's location is tracked in real time from the signals received on an antenna network deployed along the bottom of the swimming area. These signals are combined in a central processor and the computed real-time location is displayed graphically on a monitor to guide the guard personnel in rescue operations. The invention is intended for use in pools, beaches, water parks and other swimming areas.
