  • Patent number: 10823556
    Abstract: The invention is comprised of an assembly of hardware and software components for the purpose of measuring and drawing real life dimensions. With the present invention, an user defines a starting position in a spectrum of at least two coordinates. In a preferred embodiment all elements are integrated as one portable unit. The hardware elements comprise a point and click mechanism, whose operation is similar to a computer mouse, a display or viewing unit to act as a monitor, optional ways to input data, including but not limited to buttons and keys, and a way to power the device. The software element is generally defined by an application that allows tracing, drawing, measuring, calculating and saving data from real life physical areas by the interaction of the point-and-click mechanism, in optional combination with the ways to input data.

  • Publication number: 20160330591
    Abstract: The present invention disrupts the proverbial axiom: “To think outside the box”. The present invention actually originates from doing the opposite: “To think inside the box”. While outdoor positioning, systems rely on the outer-space-human-made satellite connections and communications with fixed or moving objects on Earth, enabled by the lack of walls and roofs, a so much desired indoor positioning system can not benefit from this premise due to the inherent walls and roofs as the current state of the art demonstrates. The present invention proposes the abstraction of that notion and the circumscription of the targeted indoor site to a specific delimited area.

  • Patent number: 8926391
    Abstract: A mask that is printed on a flexible substrate material, or a flexible substrate material assembly of layers so all facial features can be substantially depicted. A plurality of clear areas void of any printing allows to see through the substrate or the substrate assembly of layers. The mask may alternatively depict images other than facial anthropomorphic features, or simply monochrome or patterned abstract designs.

  • Publication number: 20120102622
    Abstract: A facial mask and related methods of manufacture wherein the facial mask include an image printed on a flexible substrate. A plurality of individual void spaces are defined within a perimeter of the image. These void spaces can be defined by the intentional absence of ink left during the printing process or by individual perforations through the flexible substrate that allow a wearer of the facial mask to see through the printed image without obscuring the user's field of view including peripheral vision. The plurality of void spaces are generally sized and spaced so as to minimize their effect on the aesthetic appearance of the image to observers while providing a user with the maximum possible visibility. The disclosed methods of manufacture can be used with conventional masks or accessories so as to reduce the visual impact of eye and mouth openings that detract from their overall appearance.

  • Patent number: 6406586
    Abstract: This invention relates to a novel fastening method with multiple applications, and different stationery products derived therefrom. The method offers practical and economical solution to different problems and needs associated with many different fastening functions. This method is particularly useful and advantageous in the paper, cardboard and film products industries. The method eliminates the need to moisten coatings of adhesive, or the need to use removable release liners to protect the adhesive coatings on the articles that need to be fastened. The method further enables the creation of new products, to solve existing needs, as for instance, self sealing and self contained forms suitable for desktop and any other type of printers.
