Abstract: The FILLSAFELY Electrostatic Discharge Circuit provides a safe electrostatic voltage grounding path, from the hand-held nozzle of typical gasoline pumps, to earth ground. The safe electrostatic voltage discharge is accomplished through a series of two resistors presenting a total resistance >10 megohms, thereby reducing the ESD current flow from a relatively high level, dependent upon the magnitude of the human stored electrostatic charge—to a relatively low level current path, directly to earth ground. This device is essential to preclude fires experienced at gasoline service stations throughout the US when the unsuspecting customer, filling their gas tanks, may unknowingly, possess a ‘self-generated’ human electrostatic charge of up to 35,000 volts. This voltage presently has only one path to ground when the unsuspecting customer, at a typical American gas station, inserts the metal filling nozzle into the gas tank—the path to ground is through the car's gas tank—with ensuing fire, explosion or both.

Abstract: The FIND-IT-FAST-NOW electronics system consists of a remote control Interrogator and five (5) frequency sensitive Responders utilizing existing ‘remote control’ technology, and containing design features that provide a new utility application to assist people to locate their ‘misplaced property. Firstly, each of the five (5) Responders is previously physically attached to five different objects of personal property that the user feels are most susceptible to misplacement. When a ‘pre-selected’ piece of personal property, with the Responder attached, is ‘misplaced’ the user may locate it by pressing the appropriate remote control Interrogator switch. The activation of the Interrogator switch transmits a signal that is accepted by only one of the five (5) Responders. Upon receipt of the Interrogator's transmitted signal the Responder circuitry initiates a signal with an audible range of 25 meters that is sufficiently loud to enable the user to locate the misplaced item.
