  • Night light
    Patent number: 7025473
    Abstract: A night light for mains power sockets, in particular wall sockets, includes a mains plug, a housing, a lighting element and a circuit connected between the mains plug and the lighting element. The circuit has a current limiting capacitor whereby a high-voltage capacitor with small dimensions is provided. The lighting element and/or the capacitor may be mounted on a board or printed circuit board.
    Type: Grant

  • Magnetic levitation device with mechanical stabilization, especially for models, toy, or design objects
    Patent number: 6739938
    Abstract: The invention relates to a magnetic suspension device with mechanical stabilization, for use especially with models, toys or desingn objects. The aim of the invention is to provide a simple end economical device which allows for an object to be suspended at a relatively great height in a permanent and stationary manner and without apparent support. To this end the weight (4) of an object (1) is overcome by uncontrolled magnetic repulsion (5) and the position of the suspended object (1) is stabilized by means of mechanical tensile forces (6) which are transmitted from the suspended object (1) downwards to the lower body (2) by, for example, thin threads (7). This invention allows for the magnetic suspension of, for example, model airplanes or design objects.
