Patent number: 10233911Abstract: Among other things, an integrated portable energy conversion mat is to be installed at a pavement surface over which a car or truck is to pass. The mat has a width at least as wide as the distance between the outermost edges of the treads of the tires located at an axle of the car or truck. The mat has a top surface over which the tires of the car or truck are to pass. The mat includes a sealed enclosed space housing and energy conversion system. The energy conversion system includes two sets of channels that extend along a length of the mat and contain hydraulic fluid under pressure. An energy converter converts energy carried by the hydraulic fluid in response to the tires of the car or truck passing over the top surface into electrical energy. An electrical port is coupled to the energy converter and exposed at an outer surface of the mat.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2016Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: Energy Intelligence, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Shani, Nissim Shani, Michael Hale, Mark Frost

Patent number: 9485963Abstract: Among other things, artifacts are presented to an animal through a device. The artifacts represent a thing to be learned by the animal and from which the animal can interpret the thing that is to be learned. Artifacts are received from the animal through a device. The received artifacts represent whether the animal has learned the thing. The artifacts are interpreted to infer an extent to which the animal has learned the thing. The animal is rewarded through a device based on the extent to which animal has learned the thing.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2013Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignee: Forget You Not, LLCInventors: Nissim Shani, Roni Shani, Daniel Shani, Keren Shani
