  • Patent number: 9531423
    Abstract: A handle for mobile phone attached to a mobile phone or mobile phone case comprises of an elastic strip having a finger sleeve on one end of the elastic strip unit to receive a finger of a user to improve the method of handling the mobile device in a secure and comfortable position and a complementary accessory to fasten the device on arm, wrist or neck of a user in order to have a secure holding for said device. The index finger is inserted into the finger sleeve of the elastic strip and enables the user to hold the mobile phone free without gripping and without dropping. In this case other fingers can be used for other activities such as holding a cup, or the handle in the bus, and thumb can be used for texting or using the touch display of the mobile phone. The elastic handler allows the user's finger to be freely bending and join the other fingers in activities.

  • Patent number: 5563849
    Abstract: An acoustic tracking system designed to allow scientists and fishermen to follow dolphins and whales without harming or harassing them. The system utilizes six flow shielded hydrophones mounted on the bottom of a vessel in two arrays of three hydrophones in each array. Acoustic signals of interest (dolphin calls) which strike the hydrophone piezo-electric elements are transmitted to a receiver-display device which determines and displays both the bearing to the signal of interest and the relative range from the vessel to that signal. The receiver-display device utilizes digital microprocessors to determine the difference in signal arrival time of an incoming signal at pairs of hydrophones. The resulting computed bearing to the dolphin call is displayed as a lighted indicator on an electronic heading display.
