Abstract: An in-situ disposable canned mix drink beverage container apparatus is disclosed. A top internal chamber containing powder being mixed with liquid in a second lower chamber after a user pulls a small tab on the top of the can allowing slots in an inner dividing wall to open therein. Once the liquid and powder are mixed, another larger tab on the top can be opened allowing a user to drink the entire mixture. An object of the invention is to provide a large, internal mixing chambers inside a disposable beverage to accommodate a complete, insitu mixing of powdered protein mixes with a liquid in correct proportions.

Abstract: An alternating current transducer. The transducer may be placed onto a powerline to detect the presence of an electric current and electromagnetic field in the powerline. An alternating current transducer including a transformer and a flexible antenna may detect and measure the electric current and detect the presence of the electromagnetic field, respectively, present in/near the powerline. The transformer and flexible antenna in electric communication with a system on a chip networking module. The networking module may transmit to a remote location, fault conditions in connection with failing to detect an electric current or electromagnetic field to be associated with a powerline.

Abstract: A measuring tape device with mechanical counter is disclosed. Said invention comprised of a conventional tape measure having a plurality of knob and/or disc type counters arranged on one side. Said counters having metric and imperial indicia allowing a user to spin them and temporarily set them into a desired counting arrangement based upon the measurement observed on the device tape. Counting discs and knobs being temporarily set by means of ball and spring assemblies positioned behind each counter. An object of the invention is to enhance the accuracy and precision of existing, conventional tape measures by allowing users to record measurements gleaned from a tape directly on the device rather than writing it down on a separate piece of paper that may lead to potential recording errors.

Abstract: A high altitude aerostat with external autonomous ballonets is disclosed. The invention being comprised of rigid, semi rigid and nonrigid airships of varying sizes, filled with lift gas and being able to traverse the stratosphere and the lower mesosphere. Said airship being controlled remotely or on board and having rotating thrusters powered by solar panels affixed to the envelope sides. In the stratosphere, the rigid aerostat withstands turbulence during travel. In the lower mesosphere, onboard microcontrollers and processors have the ability to deploy and charge said external ballonets with lift gas. An onboard compressor vents said ballonets and stores gas inside onboard bottles. An additional remotely-controlled satellite aerostat can link up with said airship and provide additional compressor capabilities in lower pressure elevations. The aforementioned invention can be utilized as a long-term surveillance and reconnaissance platform or provide a means for human and cargo transportation and storage.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a polyester that contains plural pendant adjacent carboxylic acid or acid salt side groups for use in making a toner for use in imaging devices.

Abstract: A diving accessory is disclosed. The invention is comprised of a compact, lightweight fishing spear having two parts: a hollow main tube and a barbed spear. Said spear can be stowed inside the tube and the entire apparatus clipped to a diver when not in use. The invention can also be used as a poking stick (for self defense against large sea creatures), a tickling stick (for prodding prey out of small spaces), and as a camera monopole (by using the onboard shoe mount). An objective of the invention is to provide a compact, spearfishing device with multiple functions to enhance the diving experience.

Abstract: An autonomous postal delivery systems for conventional mailboxes is disclosed. A self-driving vehicle with LIDAR sensors in conjunction with GPS algorithms guides the mail delivery van safely to predetermined addresses. Onboard optical scanners recognize residential mailboxes and robotic systems retrieve mail from secured compartments and deliver mail efficiently. An objective of the invention is to automate postal deliveries to residential mailboxes using unmanned vehicles.

Abstract: A linear displacement sensor for telescoping cylinders, actuators, shock absorbers and dampers is disclosed. Said sensor being generally comprised of two parts-a contact and a resistor strip. The aforementioned invention having several embodiments: one embodiment having a contact disposed on the piston rod inside the cylinder and a resistor strip configured along the internal cylinder wall; another embodiment having a contact disposed at an outside end of the cylinder and the strip imbedded inside a groove along the piston rod. All embodiments including a plurality of insulated rod and wall groove shapes for said resistor strip. An object of the invention is to provide a means for measuring actuator displacement both inside and outside of an actuator.
