G06Q 30/00

US Classification:

705 70, 705 1

Abstract:

The present disclosure provides an improved system and method that allows a registrant to establish, generally through the Internet, an electronic account with a provider of services or products, and allows the registrant and others to add value to the account to raise the value through the collective contributory efforts. The value can include various forms such as monetary value from bank accounts and debit or credit charge cards. The value can also include in-kind value that is appropriate to the services from the provider, such as travel miles for an airline account. Still further, the provider can itself add value to the account, such as for promotional incentives. The incentives can include bonuses for timely use or the recipient's selection of certain services or products, and other promotional purposes. The collective efforts of several entities contributing to the account create a source for the recipient to select a service or product from the provider, such as travel. The system and method allows for the efficient and effective accumulation of value from multiple sources and multiple types of value that can be tracked and applied that has not been realized prior to the present invention.

US Patent:

20100290258, Nov 18, 2010

Filed:

May 13, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/779676

Inventors:

Mark Sullivan - Houston TX, US

Assignee:

CapTech Development Corporation - Houston TX

International Classification:

H02M 7/42

US Classification:

363 71

Abstract:

An inverter circuit for generating an AC signal from a DC input is described herein. The inverter comprises a primary inverter for generating a first portion of a signal, the primary inverter using switches that when actuated efficiently produce the first portion of the signal, the first portion of the signal being an approximation of a sine wave, the approximation of the sine wave having an error component; a secondary inverter for generating a second portion of the signal, the secondary inverter using switches to produce a waveform that that attenuates the error component of the first portion of the signal; and combining means such as a transformer which combine the first and second portions of the generated signal to produce a substantially improved approximation of a sine wave. An inverter circuit may further comprise: a filter connected to the transformer for smoothing a residual carrier frequency from the secondary portion of the signal; wherein the filter comprises a rectifier connected to the DC input of the primary inverter.

Abstract:

A TV wall mounting device includes a wall mount box with vertical supports, a display mount receiving a TV, and an extending/contracting portion between the box and the display mount. The extending/contracting portion has lower and upper arms rotatably attached to the wall mount with rear axles, a pair of linear actuators rotatably attached to the wall mount, a front portion that rises and lowers with action of the actuators, and a horizontally-swiveling portion that is raised and lowered with the front portion and is capable of rotating right-left with respect to the front portion. The display mount is attached to the horizontally-swiveling portion. Parallel operation of the linear actuators, wherein each actuator extends and retracts while keeping the same length as the other actuator, causes the display mount to go up and down. Differential operation of the actuators causes the display mount to rotate right and left.
