  • Patent number: 11183799
    Abstract: An electrical power inlet connection device, can be attached to portable and/or transitional physical structures. While interacting with tools, an individual may utilize electrical and electronic devices to work on material, where the electrical power inlet connection device can be attached on an inside of, for example, a sawhorse leg. The electrical power inlet connection device has at least one female power outlet and a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) compartment, like those currently utilized near sinks for safety. However, the electrical power inlet connection device can only have a single male power plug. With GFCI, all electrical power inlet connection device applications assure added electrical security. A USB or other electrical/electronic connections can be added to the compartment for connecting to music sources, cell phones, the Internet, etc. within a GFCI compartment.

  • Patent number: 7422046
    Abstract: Single and double folding panel assemblies are provided having two vertically-oriented frames that define an opening on spaced apart partitions. The single assembly having a plurality of folding panels mounted to one of the frames. When the panels are compressed, access to the opening is allowed, and when expanded and connected to the opposite frame, access is blocked. The double assembly having two pluralities of folding panels, each plurality of panels being mounted to separate frames. Each plurality can be pivotally mounted to the frame with spring-loaded hinges. When the panels are compressed, access to the opening is allowed. When the panels are expanded and locked together, access is blocked. A locking bar can be provided to keep the panels unfolded, removable decorative or descriptive panels can be used to change the appearance of the panels, the panels can comprise a computer controlled display, be opaque, translucent, or transparent.

  • Patent number: 6975247
    Abstract: An entity catastrophic security system is provided to prevent criminal, human error or major entity failures from causing major catastrophic results. The system employs entity danger signal personnel and devices to generate danger signals, a complex code scheme to assure security of signals, entity processing devices to sense the danger signals, to place the entity into a controlled, restricted state, to signal external processing devices and authorized personnel of the dangerous entity conditions, and to inform national and local authorities of the entity's condition. Even without danger signals from the entity, the external authorized personnel may deem to take over control of the entity. In either case, by way of an entity control device, the entity catastrophic security system also remotely, controllably operates the entity from the external processing device, so as to enforce safe disposition of the entity.

  • Patent number: 6648047
    Abstract: A collapsible security system includes a door having a plurality of collapsible panels. The security system can be mounted from a cubicle partition or a wall frame of a door. In the compressed position, the door of the security system allows access to the office space within the cubicle or room. When the panels are expanded and connected to the opposite frame of the cubicle partition or an opposing door, the security system no longer allows access to the office space. In another embodiment, the security system includes a locking bar that allows the panels to stay in the expanded position. In addition, two opposing panel doors can be mounted to a wall frame using spring-loaded hinges to allow the panel doors to swing open and closed. The door panels can be rectangular or decorative shape with permanent or removable decorative or descriptive panels.

  • Patent number: 6573839
    Abstract: An aircraft catastrophic security system is provided to prevent terrorists and major aircraft equipment failures from causing major catastrophic results in the air or on the ground. The system employs on-board aircraft danger signal personnel and devices to generate danger signals, a complex code scheme to assure security of signals, on-board aircraft processing devices to sense the danger signals, to place the aircraft into a controlled, restricted state, to signal external processing devices and authorized personnel of the dangerous on-board aircraft conditions, and to inform national and local authorities of the aircraft's condition. Even without danger signals from the aircraft, the external authorized personnel may deem to take over control of the aircraft. In either case, by way of an on-board aircraft control device, the aircraft catastrophic security system also remotely, controllably operates the aircraft from the external processing device, so as to enforce safe disposition of the aircraft.

In the compressed position, the door of the security system allows access to the office space within the cubicle or room. When the panels are expanded and connected to the opposite frame of the cubicle partition or an opposing door, the security system no longer allows access to the office space. In one embodiment, the collapsible security system includes a rope fed through openings in the panels and a pulley hidden within the door frame and a weight on one end of the rope. A lock mechanism that frictionally engages the rope can be actuated to keep the collapsible panels in place. Alternatively, the lock mechanism can be released to allow the weight to compress the panels to automatically allow access to the office space.
