Filed:

Aug 27, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/940145

Inventors:

Steven T. Nolan - Beaumont TX 77706

International Classification:

G09F 1304

US Classification:

40574, 40578

Abstract:

A backlit display apparatus mounts to an exterior surface, including an automobile, wherein plain paper designs, digital photographs on plain paper or transparencies may be displayed between a white translucent dispersing panel and a clear front panel, with the front panel and the dispersing panel having a weather-proof seal. A high lumen light source, which could consist of a single bulb or a plurality of low lumen light sources, is located behind the dispersing panel, powered by either an internal DC electrical power source, an external DC electrical power source or an external 110 volt AC power source, the high lumen light source having a variable illumination control mechanism to select from a constant illumination, a flashing illumination or a passive illumination, such passive illumination derived from the external power source, including the brake light electrical system or the running light electrical system of an automobile to which the apparatus may be attached.

International Classification:

F21S 600

US Classification:

362414, 362413, 362411, 362231

Abstract:

A low voltage LED interior lamp for residential and commercial lighting, includes a plurality of high lumen bright white LED lights incorporated within the lamps, a light color diffusion panel and a household current to low voltage DC converter providing power to the lamp to convert the AC current to low voltage DC current, reducing power required to provide illumination for the resident or commercial application without requiring replacement of the LED lights.

Appl. No.:

13/032575

Inventors:

Kenneth Michael Adair - Humble TX, US
Steven Nolan - Humble TX, US

International Classification:

G10H 3/18

US Classification:

84726

Abstract:

The present invention is a pickup system including a transducer, a mount, and a cartridge for modifying perceived sound from a musical instrument. The transducer includes a housing, a magnet and an electric signal carrier. The mount attaches the transducer to the instrument. The cartridge includes a container and attachment device, which positions the container in proximity to the transducer. The attachment device engages the container with the transducer so as to affect the electric signal created by the instrument. The cartridges and container can be either integral or interchangeable to vary resonance materials to the transducer. The container may be filled with another material, including ferromagnetic fluid for an induced magnet effect upon the perceived sound from the transducer.
