Publication number: 20050200204Abstract: A security system for use on a boat with propulsion means, such as an engine, has a base unit mounted on the boat and a personal unit attached to the driver and each passenger. The base unit has a first radio unit and an RFID-reader with an antenna, and is in wireless communication with the personal unit. The personal unit has an RFID-transponder and a second radio unit, both with a unique identity, and a biometric unit that at correct attachment to the person send a biometric signal to the base unit. The communication utilizes RFID technology within a near range, but the system automatically handovers to radio technology when a larger area is to be covered. A field from the RFID reader activates the RFID-transponder, and if the identity is correct the person is registered as the driver and may start the boat. When the base unit loses communication with a personal unit different measures are initiated, such as activating an alarm.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2005Publication date: September 15, 2005Inventors: Dennis Jonsson, Mattias Malmgren, Johan Karlsson, Johan Horberg, Hans-Erik Eldemark

Patent number: 6159171Abstract: A device for affecting the hydrodynamic system of the internal ear, said system including the perilymph and the endolymph. A first apparatus generates a desired static-pressure level. A second apparatus varies the static-pressure level. A third connector between the first and second devices affects the static pressure level upon predetermined pressure changes in accordance with a predetermined program controlled by a control unit. The first device includes a medium pump for generating the desired static-pressure level in a medium reservoir. The second device includes a unit for causing movements of a membrane which is connected to the reservoir. These movements are arranged to cause variations of the static-pressure level. The membrane has a predetermined area, and the unit is arranged to affect the membrane by a force of a certain magnitude to generate the pressure changes.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 1998Date of Patent: December 12, 2000Assignee: Pascal Medical ABInventors: Barbara Densert, Ove Densert, Jorgen Joholm, Carl Johan Horberg
