Appl. No.:

11/046963

Inventors:

Robert Terry - Houston TX, US

International Classification:

G08B007/00

US Classification:

340691100, 340506000

Abstract:

A fire and smoke alarm device having a device body is removably supported on a wall by a fire resistant support loop and has a battery powered electronic circuit including a sensor for detection of a predetermined level of combustion emissions and emitting a shrill pulsating audible alarm. The device repetitively emits a pre-recorded voice alert in alternating relation with the pulsating audible alarm to alert persons who might not be easily alerted by horn or siren signals. The device incorporates a laser and/or LED light that is energized by the electronic circuitry and project a light beam from an adjustable arm or appendage of the device body. A light diffusing member is located remotely from the device body and is positionable to diffuse the light beam and to guide emergency personnel to the area being monitored.

Abstract:

A vending machine with a stereoscopic three-dimensional display and a method for vending wares in conjunction with a video presentation shown on the display. The video presentation is divided into left and right views for the left and right eyes, respectively. A face plate with left and right ocular apertures is disposed on an exterior surface of the vending machine in an optimal position for viewing. A divider plate is centered between the left and right views and the left and right ocular apertures so that a viewer's left eye can only see the left view of the video presentation and vice-versa. When a purchaser buys a product from the vending machine, the purchaser may view a short video presentation through the stereoscopic display, which depicts something of interest to the viewer.

International Classification:

G08B 15/00
G08B 5/38

Abstract:

The invention is a psychological system that combines a personal protection device with a clearly identifiable static display to show that recording of actions and identities is highly likely.It is a multipurpose system, operating as a personal security device with pulsating red and blue lights as a visible warning, a video system recording identities and criminal or abusive behavior; as a vehicle security system with a rear vehicle reflective display sticker showing that recording of actions and identities is highly likely, with a personal protection device in the vehicle on the driver's wrist; a system that works like a home security device with a preemptive yard sign indicating the presence of technical security within the home.If a crime is committed, the video and audio recording will reveal the time, the person's identity, and actions to provide for criminal prosecution. Thus, it preemptively and non-confrontationally discourages criminal and abusive behavior. Its intent is a passive deterrent rather than physical defense. The recording is archived, and provides evidence for a quick investigative response.

International Classification:

A63G 31/16

Abstract:

This motion simulator uses a spherical shape driven by controlled wheels to produce any rotational motion within certain limits. The range of pitch and roll motions can be at least −15 to +15 degrees; yaw is unlimited. There are no moving electrical connections such as slip rings. The physical system can be produced inexpensively. Control and simulation display use a smart phone or computer tablet, which, for example, could be one already owned by a family using the simulator.
