  • Publication number: 20240104533
    Abstract: A screen-less automated teller machine (ATM) may be configured to interact with a mobile device. The ATM may automatically detect the presence of the mobile device in a vicinity of the ATM and initiate contact with the mobile device, or a mobile device may initiate contact with the ATM. After verifying user permission to access the ATM, the mobile device may be enabled to provide user access to one or more of the banking services available at the ATM using the mobile device. As the ATM is screen-less, banking-related information may be viewed and/or input at the ATM using the mobile device. An application on the mobile device may be used to access and interact with the ATM using the mobile device.

  • Publication number: 20240095698
    Abstract: Methods for banking at an automated teller machine (ATM) using a mobile device. The ATM may automatically detect the presence of the mobile device in a vicinity of the ATM and initiate contact with the mobile device, or a mobile device may initiate contact with the ATM. After verifying user permission to access the ATM, the mobile device may be enabled to provide user access to one or more of the banking services available at the ATM using the mobile device and to view banking-related information on the mobile device. A mobile application on the mobile device may be used to access the ATM using the mobile device. While a mobile device is accessing the ATM, a screen on the ATM may become inactive for banking services and the option to select banking services directly at the ATM may be disabled.

  • Patent number: 11871501
    Abstract: An oscillator including a tuned resonating cavity uses an alternating electrostatic unipolar burst of voltage to oscillate water molecules into a superheated state. Particle displacement is achieved by opposite electrical charge potentials as the electromotive force mover upon water molecules. These short oscillations cause elastic and inelastic particle impacting of the bipolar water molecules. The oscillator of the present invention is implemented with a dual-switching transformer which is tuned to resonate with water. Electrodes are formed of an electro-conductive material submerged in/or around the water. Resonant metallic capacitive vessels are made in various shapes and sizes to reach determined thermal radiating electromagnetic levels as they are progressively oscillated during operations.

  • Publication number: 20230392768
    Abstract: A highly efficient light extraction system for LED chip arrays, in which a multi-function domed lens overlays the LED chip array. A lower portion of the multi-function domed lens acts as a reflector, capturing wide-angle light emitted by the LED chips. An upper portion of the multi-function domed lens provides the function of a refractive lens. The multi-function domed lens provides improved light extraction efficiency over prior art embodiments, greater total light output, as well as a narrower light distribution pattern, with increased light intensity at the center of the beam.

  • Patent number: 11788194
    Abstract: Provided in this disclosure is an electrolysis system using voltage in a purely physical process, without resorting to passing current through an electrolyte in a chemical process. The present invention includes a tri-coil design resonant cavity transformer that utilizes the dielectric properties of a material acting as part of a “closed loop” electrical (Resistor, Inductor, Capacitor) RLC circuit. The tri-coil transformer (or TCT) is tuned to the dielectric properties of a suitable material, which can be water, liquid metals, or even ambient air. The TCT can be a tri-coil resonating cavity transformer employing either a Maxwell or Helmholtz tri-coil design. The present invention entails a physical approach to electrolysis based on voltage and not amperage to dissociate a selected dielectric medium, an approach that is 180 degrees out of phase from traditional Faraday electrolysis.

  • Patent number: 11692516
    Abstract: An electrolysis system includes an injector with a conical tapered resonant capacitor wave-guide forming two voltage zones of polarity. An anode probe establishes a positive charge reaction of a capacitive voltage region. An anode exciter component has a conically tapered tip with a tapering diameter that diminishes toward a tip end and determines a guide path through the injector for a dielectric medium. A cathode probe is retained within the anode probe for establishing a negative charge reaction of the capacitive voltage region. A cathode exciter component includes a cathode tapered tip conically parallel with the anode conically tapered tip. The anode and cathode end portions form a compression exiting nozzle port. The compression exiting nozzle port receives a mixture of water mist and fuel gases to focus the mixture into a trigger zone of fuel gas combustion, which triggers an electrolysis reaction in the water mist.

  • Patent number: 11596342
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for automatically calibrating a reference orientation of an implantable medical device (IMD) within a patient. In one example, sensors of an IMD sense a plurality of orientation vectors of the IMD with respect to a gravitational field. Processing circuitry of the IMD processes the plurality of orientation vectors to identify an upright vector that corresponds to an upright posture of the patient. The processing circuitry classifies the plurality of orientation vectors with respect to the upright vector to define a sagittal plane of the patient and a transverse plane of the patient. The processing circuitry determines, based on the upright vector, the sagittal plane, and the transverse plane, a reference orientation of the IMD within the patient. As the orientation of the IMD within the patient changes over time, the processing circuitry may recalibrate its reference orientation and accurately detect a posture of the patient.
