Abstract: A system and method for regulating pressure inside a vehicle (“cabin pressure”) is disclosed. The system can include a forward gate and an aft gate that can be moved from a closed position to an open position to release cabin pressure in a controlled manner. The forward gate, the aft gate, or both can comprise an interior cavity and one or more permeable surfaces. When open, or partially open, an airflow can be created by a pressure differential between the cabin pressure and the pressure outside the vehicle (“atmospheric pressure”). At least a portion of the airflow can flow through the one or more permeable surfaces and the hollow cavity of the forward gate, the aft gate, or both to promote laminar flow through the gates and into the atmosphere alongside the vehicle (e.g., an aircraft fuselage). In this manner, flow efficiency can be increased and noise reduced.

Abstract: This invention is a bumper device for the front part of an existing train. A railroad car coupler can attach or detach the bumper device. The most important feature of this bumper device is; if a train collides with a vehicle at a cross intersection, the bumper device distributes the train's inertial force into a pressure force over some portion of the vehicle's surface area. By this action; the vehicle will incur less structural damage than just metal to metal contact.

Abstract: A system to stop or reduce electrical short circuits in homes. This invention is a refinement of the breaker box function. A computer controls breaker switching in the breaker box. A sum of the theoretical power consumption in a given breaker helps the computer determine if an electrical short is present. Outlet modules attach themselves to the home's standard electrical outlet (socket). They tell the computer when a new load (finite resistance) is to change the old theoretical breaker limit. The computer adjusts the theoretical limit to a new limit (never above maximum permitted) and allows the power drain on the breaker.

Abstract: A wrist watch with a sound alarm is used for pill takers. The wrist watch is a standard wrist watch (displays time and date) except for two temperature sensors (one on the bottom and the other on the top). These temperture sensors prove when an owner is wearing the wrist watch. A pill taker can make a schedule of alarms based on when he/she wakes up, when they go to sleep, relative time (from when they wake up or go to sleep) or absolute time of day and date.
