Abstract: A smoke detecting system for an interior of a vehicle has a smoke detecting dongle removably attached to an OnBoard Diagnostic II (OBD-II) port of the vehicle within the interior of the vehicle. The smoke detecting dongle monitors smoke detected within the interior of the vehicle to determine when tobacco or cannabis smoke is detected. A locking device is coupled to the smoke detecting dongle preventing unauthorized removal of the smoke detecting dongle from the OBD-II port. The smoke detecting dongle wirelessly transmits an alarm signal when the smoke detecting dongle is removed from the OBD-II port without unlocking the locking device.

Abstract: A vehicle anti-theft device for a vehicle has a hardware adapter removably attached to an OnBoard Diagnostic II (OBD-II) port of the vehicle. The hardware adapter monitors for unauthorized movement of the vehicle and allows only authorized individuals who enter an authorization code to the hardware adapter to drive the vehicle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an adaptive hyperbaric oxygen chamber designed to function as a medical apparatus in order to treat a subject suffering from any FDA approved medical condition. The hyperbaric oxygen chamber is designed and constructed in such a way that only one subject can be allowed to sit in an upright seated position, unless the pediatric seat is occupied by a pediatric patient and the adult is seated in the standard seat to accompany the pediatric patient. The upright patient seat when treating a pediatric patient is in the extended position while the occupant enters and exits the mono medical hyperbaric oxygen chamber and the seat is returned to the fixed position inside the hyperbaric oxygen chamber while the overhead door is closed, the seat being operated by an extension device. The hyperbaric oxygen chamber is made, using additive manufacturing technology.

Abstract: A system and method for securely delivering a package to a trunk of a vehicle. An administrator generates an electronic key that is assigned to a communication device and the communication device is coupled to the OBD system of vehicle. A courier service or individual courier uses the electronic key to transmit a trunk-open command to the communication device coupled to the OBD system of the parked customer vehicle. Alternatively, a courier may leave the package in the trunk of a parked courier vehicle and the customer may use the electronic key to transmit a trunk-open command to the communication device coupled to the OBD system of the parked courier vehicle.

Abstract: A smoke detecting system for an interior of a vehicle has a smoke detection circuit monitoring for smoke within the interior of the vehicle. The smoke detecting circuit records a date and time when the smoke detection circuit monitors a smoke level above a predetermined value.

Abstract: A table game multiplier system and method expands the play of a craps table by allowing a player to wager on a live-action craps table game being played at a table in a system operator, such as a casino or other suitable establishment, without requiring the person to be physically present at the craps table. The system allows the live-action craps table game to be virtually tiered or duplicated, thereby allowing a set of additional players to wager on a craps table identical to the one being played at a particular system operator. The additional players may connect to the table game multiplier system via an electronic telecommunication device such as, but not limited to, a smartphone, a tablet computer, or a personal computer, which may communicate with the system operator to allow the electronic placing of wagers on the tiered craps table.

Abstract: A system and method for allowing multiple players to place independent wagers on a single game is disclosed. The game may be a skill-based game played on a skill-based slot machine type of gaming machine. The outcome of the game is based only upon the skill of the main player that is playing the skill-based game. Each wager is placed on at least one in-game event that may be achieved by the main player while playing the skill-based game. A main player is physically located at a system operator, such as a casino. Additional players may join the main player and place wagers on the skill-based games that the main player is playing. The wagers that the additional players place are treated and paid out independently from the wagers placed by the main player. Furthermore, the players and the main player may communicate with each other throughout the betting process.

The wagers that the additional players place are treated and paid out independently from the wagers placed by the main player. Furthermore, the players and the main player may communicate with each other throughout the betting process. The gaming machine may have an input module, an output module, a communication module, and a processor that all allow multiple players to place independent wagers on a single game.

Abstract: A method of conveying monetary value between at least two parties, may utilize a computer system or a vending machine. A first party requests an amount of monetary value to be in one or more desired incremental monetary amounts, and provides a payment. A system administrator requests a personal identification number (PIN), which is associated, within an administrator database, with a Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) that is located on one or more QwikCash tickets, which are thereby activated, and thereafter issued to the first party. The GUID is machine scannable, and each QwikCash ticket may comprise a textual reference denoting its incremental monetary amount, and a textual reference identifying issuance of the PIN. The first party may use the PIN and remit the QwikCash ticket: to a second party, as a person-to-person monetary transfer; to a merchant for making a purchase; or to a bank ATM in exchange for cash.

Abstract: A computer-operated method for distributing job-seeker qualifications to hiring entities comprises job-seeker registration and secure internet entry/uploading, of personal data into a program administrator server, to selectively populate one or more data fields, including a résumé module, a photo/video module, a verification module, and a pre-employment screening module. The job-seeker selects a distribution security scheme, which may include requiring a password to view data, and the program administrator encodes a bar code based upon inputted data and filter/security selections, and sends the bar code to the seeker, who forwards the bar code to one or more hiring entities, who use it and a password for online viewing of the seeker's personal data. The bar code is customizable to be hiring-entity-specific and to permit only selective viewing of the entire stored databank, and may also be subsequently disabled. The bar code facilitates seeker tracking of a time/date of data viewing.

Abstract: A system and method for accessing the value associated with a pre-purchased amount of telecommunication-time for making telephone calls and for uses other than making telephone calls is provided. The system includes a computer system including a prepaid platform adapter for interfacing with a prepaid platform, and a financial network adapter for interfacing with a financial network. Unit minutes, having a value associated with the purchased amount of telecommunication-time, are convertible to telecommunication-time equivalents for making telephone calls and monetary equivalents for uses other than making telephone calls. A database, communicating with the computer, includes subscriber account information and transaction processing protocol information for each adapter. A remote input server, communicating with the computer, provides an input device to access the computer.
