  • Patent number: 4471276
    Abstract: An electric motor speed controller circuit which comprises at least one power transistor in series between the motor and a power supply to form a power circuit such that current flows between the power supply and the motor through the transistor only when a signal current is supplied to the base of the transistor and which further comprises a control circuit for supplying a signal to the base of the transistor which signal is pulse width modulated so that the width of the pulse is proportional to the value of a variable resistance, inductance or capacitance of the speed control;a method for controlling the speed of an electric motor which comprises varying the resistance, inductance or capacitance of a speed control and supplying a pulse width modulated signal current, having pulse widths proportional to the value of the varied resistance, capacitance or inductance, to the base of at least one power transistor to activate the transistor which is connected by its emitter and collector, as an electrical switch

  • Patent number: H2120
    Abstract: This Interactive/Inoperable ID Card is a personal Bio related Positive Identification Credential System (PICS), which due to its nature could only be activated by the individual to whom it was originally issued. The PICS prior to use, would be activated by more than one of the individual's Bio characteristics, (i.e., Breath, perspiration, fingerprint, IR Imaging, DNA, etc.), which would be pre-stored in the PICS Memory for matching identification. The PICS would then be activated for a given length of time so that its Transponder could receive and respond to queries by an RF Reader with specific information stored in the card/memory. The information obtained by the RF Reader would be matched with the computer record which could respond instantly with a positive, personalized clearance, (or rejection), of the carrier. The PICS is positively personal, non-transferable and is subject to being disabled by the RF Reader if the Computer is programed to eliminate that particular card.
