  • Patent number: 7635037
    Abstract: A motorized towing device comprising a chassis, at least one motor, at least two wheels, a controller, and a quick release attachment mechanism. The controller operates the motor to cause the rotation of the wheels and the movement of the chassis over a surface. The quick release attachment mechanism releaseably secures the chassis to an object desired to be towed or moved while permitting rotational movement of the device relative to the object about a generally horizontal plane.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20040164897
    Abstract: An apparatus to permit real time movements and events experienced by one or more individuals to be recorded for subsequent replay in a virtual reality domain. The apparatus comprises a GPS receiver for receiving a plurality of GPS signals, a processor operatively connected to the GPS receiver and programmed to calculate the position of the receiver relative to the surface of the earth, a memory module operatively connected to the processor, and means to permit data corresponding to the movement of the GPS receiver and data corresponding to events experienced by the operator to be downloaded into the memory of a secondary processor. The processor stores in the memory module data corresponding to the calculated position of the GPS receiver and the movement of the GPS receiver for a given time interval. The memory module also stores data corresponding to specific events experienced by an operator of the apparatus during the time interval.
