  • Patent number: 8203274
    Abstract: The LED headlamps for vehicles provide a modular efficient light source for vehicle headlamps. The invention addresses the LED negative temperature coefficient in efficient heat removal system. Beam direction and pattern is controlled by its composite lens beam shaping mechanism. The beam targeting using the LED source is done through beam shaping via lens surface shaping, lens curvature contouring and composite lens component offsetting from the LED source or outgoing beam axis to direct the light beam.

  • Patent number: 8127776
    Abstract: The present invention describes a. a cosmetic device for applying or removing false eyelashes. A handle is used for opening and closing two stems forming two 3D conforming surface pieces having mating surfaces with pads on each mating surface. Each pad is coupled to a mating surface end band region and the pads are used for attaching flattened false eye-lashes onto conforming eye-lids whereby solution placed on the pads as adhesive or remover either adheres the false eye-lash to the eyelid or chemically strips the false eye-lash adhesive onto or away from the eye-lid respectively.

  • Patent number: 7720784
    Abstract: A system and method of obtaining and processing emotive intelligence in electronic applications and devices is disclosed. This includes capturing author feelings. Feelings are assigned a pain-pleasure attribute and performance of string operations on the feelings attached text in performance of a service couple author intended meaning, satisfaction or motivation to degree of pleasure or pain associated with string text or string operations. The capability to capture and process emotive content allows for locating goods or services on a network, where providers anticipate a transaction on customer needs emotionally based. Artificial emotive intelligence is applied in machine characters by endowing them with software entities of emotive states and associated intensities, and threshold values that trigger actions, with events triggering actions or behavior by threading through the character emotive makeup.

  • Patent number: 7434176
    Abstract: A method of providing precise emotive content in electronic communications. Methods include encoding emotive content comprised of emotive vectors and associated text into electronic communication which is transmitted to receiver computer devices, decoded and parsed to provide emotive content for processing and display. Display includes representing emotive vectors by face glyphs from a graphical set of face glyphs whose character representations are embedded in communications and processed to disambiguate text into intended meaning.

  • Patent number: 7360151
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention present a system and methods to analyze textual communications, which include cognitive as well as emotive content. Generally accepted communication models and principles are used to create communication unique response templates which responders can use to complete a comprehensive, thoughtful, emotively validating response message.

  • Patent number: 7177751
    Abstract: A dynamically re-configurable multi-stroke internal combustion engine, comprised of programmable computer processor controlled engine components for decoupling the four classic strokes of an internal combustion engine and electronically managing engine cylinder components including such cylinder components as electronically controllable valves, fuel injection and air fuel mixture ignition, allowing additional engine cylinder unit component states and thus cylinder strokes to be independently altered or re-sequenced by computer control to provide alternate engine modes of operation. Some alternate engine modes are facilitated by addition of a compressed air storage reservoir to receive cylinder generated compressed air or transfer compressed air to cylinder units in other modes to increase engine power, efficiency or utility. Sensor input and on-demand requirements drive control logic to manage engine strokes through control of individual cylinder component states.

  • Patent number: 7167789
    Abstract: A variable compression ratio internal combustion engine is programmably configured to operate in a plurality of compression ratios. Internal combustion engines with electronically controlled engine components that include electronic valve operation are programmed to operate individual engine cylinders with component states and stoke sequences that provide variable compression ratios by creation of a virtual cylinder within a physical cylinder. Cylinder volume dictates maximum compression ratio, which acts as a ceiling for the variable compression ratio that can be provided.

  • Patent number: 7089504
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention provide ways to include emotive content in written communication. The emotive content serves many needs not currently addressed in written word computer applications and text generation aids such as word processors, web publishers, email, file archives, faxes, cell phones, PDAs other applications. Adding emotive content to messages adds information, which can help to interpret and amplify the text message, improve the message integrity and fidelity of communication. Emotional content can contain and convey the subliminal messages, which are vital to a user's interaction with one another via modern communication technologies. Aspects of the invention provide ways for the sender or author to add emotional content, which can capture, maintain, and focuses a receiver's interest. Current expression of emotive content and emotive intensity in written word are rarely used because of lack of writing ability, lack of facilitation or lack of capability.

  • Patent number: 6947830
    Abstract: A programmable internal combustion engine, comprising programmable computer processor controlled engine components including electronically controllable valves, fuel injection and air fuel mixture ignition cylinder components, is programmed to dynamically reconfigure an internal combustion engine to run on a range of combustible fuels. Cylinder independent ignition test modes using Spark Ignition, Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition and Compression Ignition are performed to determine the best ignition mode and cylinder component states for combusting a given fuel. In situ real-time testing of a given fuel yield results for a dynamic reconfiguration of individual component states providing an engine which can run on a range of combustible fuels and fuel blends.
