  • Publication number: 20110303201
    Abstract: Disclosed is a spark plug arc intensifier system that influences the arc of the spark plug at any given performance of the gasoline engine. The intensifier system consists of a microcomputer that applies an additional signal to the lead-in wire coming from the transformer coil of the engine to influence the intensity of arc of the spark plug. This system results in a complete burning of the air/fuel mixture that is prevalent at the time of combustion. This system then results in a cleaner environment, less fuel consumption and a more powerful performance of the engine.

  • Publication number: 20100281883
    Abstract: The inventive concept involves a garment or full body suit that covers the entire body of a wearer including the hands, the feet and the head. The garment can be used in either a cold or a hot environment. The heating or cooling system is controlled by a microprocessor that operates on a mini pump that pumps a heating or cooling liquid through tubes that are imbedded throughout the suit.

  • Publication number: 20030217367
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for wirelessly transmitting original signals from a first hand-held station to a second hand-held station in a duplex mode through a network by converting original signals in the first station to radio frequencies through a video-data-audio unit to a second video-data-audio module and thereafter impressing the signals into the air and these signals are received by another video-data-audio base station and then converted to digital signals by a pulse DSP in that module by passing those signals through a network and then transmitting the original signals to a video-data-audio unit in the second hand-held station and then displaying the results in that unit.

  • Patent number: 6194978
    Abstract: The invention is directed toward a simple and cost effective method of wirelessly transmitting digital information with an analog carrier signal. The method, referred to as Interrupt Modulation IM, will allow broadcasters to make the transition from an analog to a digital format while using existing analog equipment and conserving radio spectrum. Interrupt Modulation consists of allowing digital information to be transmitted to control a high speed analog special interrupter circuit which interrupts the circuit path of an unmodulated carrier signal such that the analog carrier is interrupted to directly correspond with the time length of the high segment of the digital pulse wave. Digital information is then transferred by the absence of the analog carrier signal. As modern high speed analog switches are capable of on/off operation at speeds of several megahertz, which is common in digital information computers, throughout rates of up to 100 megabits per second are obtainable.

  • Patent number: 4948045
    Abstract: The invention is directed to an electronic control apparatus which will shut off a heating or airconditioning system when a door or window is opened. The apparatus provides a magnetic switch and transmitter attached to a door or window which will emit an infrared or sonic signal when the door or window is opened. The signal is received by an infrared or sonic receiving means which shuts off the thermostat from operating for at least three minutes to prevent damage to the heating or cooling system, in particular the compressor.
