  • Patent number: 5121096
    Abstract: A position location device that is self powered and worn or carried by a child, pet, or a person with impaired senses such as sight or hearing. The device is a stand alone device, in that it is totally self contained and requires absolutely no external inputs of power or data. Because the device is a stand alone and not dependent on transmitted signals or radiated data, the unit is not susceptible to unwanted transient radiated noise interference or atmospheric noise phenomenon. After an adjustable preset time delay triggers a visual and audio alarm, a monitoring person can easily locate the impaired person before any potential danger occurs. A small child or a person with impaired senses carrying this device is allowed to walk or play freely. If the child or person with impaired senses walks off or gets lost, the device will automatically trigger at the preset time which will alert the monitoring person as to the location of the person.

  • Patent number: 5119001
    Abstract: A novel electric, gear driven, frequency controlled oscillating device that oscillates a toy mouse or other toys to amuse, occupy, and entertain pets. Because this unit is gear driven, it provides enough torque to insure self restarting after being stopped by a playful cat. The device has a low profile, thereby making it difficult to tip over. The cat toy operates in a very low variable voltage range, 6 volts DC, for maximum safety. The device is battery operated and has no exposed wires for pets to chew on. Device may be mounted in virtually any plane for further variation.
