Patent number: 9666055Abstract: Distress signal transmitters of the present invention are designed to maximize the chance for a victim to survive an accident, and minimize the time for a rescue party to find a victim. The preferred embodiments of the distress signal transmitters of the present invention are to be self-powered, self-activated, and to remain fully functional when dropped into salt water. This will allow the Radio Frequency (RF) distress signals to be sent over a long distance, even if the user is unconscious or severely injured. Furthermore, a set of coordinates determined by a Global Positioning System will be transmitted with the S.O.S message in order for search parties to quickly and efficiently pinpoint the location of the victim(s).Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2015Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Inventors: David Yen Shau, Jeng-Jye Shau
