Abstract: This invention relates to a whole body vibrator platform which is attachable to a treadmill. The treadmill belt provides the power to move the platform, translating the horizontal, linear, belt movement into vertical oscillations through one or more eccentrically mounted rollers which support the platform. A person standing on the vibrator platform experiences a vertical vibration at frequencies established by the linear velocity of the treadmill belt.

Abstract: An air cleaner is described wherein an ion wind is generated by an ionizing element and directed to pass over a dust collector surface. By proper design and adjustment of the ionizing element and collector, the unit can be operated without emitting charged particles, if any, in other than the direction of orientation of the dust collector surface and thus avoiding smudging of the surrounding walls. The collector may be cylindrical in form and may be separately detachable, rendering it readily available for cleaning.

Abstract: The invention is directed towards an efficient and ozone free ion generator in which the ion emitter is open to the surrounding space while the collector is provided by electrical ground remote and away from the ion emitter. In the case of a household generator, the ground is the electrical ground of the house. In the case of a car generator, the ground is the car frame. A safety circuit is arranged to turn the high voltage off if a hand or other body member (or pet) comes near or touches the exposed emitter to prevent electrical shock.

Abstract: A polarized media electronic air filter assembly has an electronics box mounted along one side by a slid-in fit into an open, receiving channel. Arcing between screens is reduced by using a relatively resistive material for at least one of the screens exposed to arcing.

Abstract: A battery operated ion source operates independently of the power mains by making contact with surrounding support surfaces which are sufficiently conductive to induce the release of ions from the ion source.

Abstract: A multi-pole switch with a neutral position is provided with an efficient mechanical layout. Such switch is suitable for use in relay format in an automatic battery booster cable system to be used to connect a polarized source and a polarized load, eg. two batteries together in parallel, with automatically correct polarity. The relay switch in the booster cable application is driven by an electronic controller which senses the polarity of the two batteries and connects the two batteries with the correct polarity. The electronics provides features for setting the relay to neutral, thereby disconnecting the source from the load when any of the cables are disconnected, while maintaining current flow under high load conditions. The booster cable system also employs direct inter-connections between the cable conductors and the relay contacts thus simplifying the construction of the relay. The relay makes use of resilient polymeric elements instead of coiled springs to minimize relay re-bound.

Abstract: This invention relates to a device which can be used as a telautograph to send graphic messages via telephone lines and provide real time graphic communication between two or more stations. Handwriting and sketches or drawings can be sent and received by the same device. A hard copy of the communicated messages is reproduced at each station. The device or a modified version of the device can also be used to communicate with a computer to record and retrieve graphic information on a tape recorder or it can be used as an X-Y plotter.
