  • Publication number: 20210258732
    Abstract: A mobile phone location tracking device is presented. The device includes a housing having a wireless transceiver disposed therein, wherein the wireless transceiver is in operable communication with a mobile device. A GPS unit within the housing operably connects to a mobile GPS unit within the mobile device via the wireless transceiver to monitor a threshold separation distance between the mobile device and the housing. Upon detection that the housing has exceeded the threshold separation distance from the mobile device, a speaker within the housing emits an audible alert. In some embodiments, the mobile device emits an audible alert as well. A power source is disposed within the housing and is operably connected to each of the speaker, the wireless transceiver, and the GPS unit.

  • Patent number: 5845601
    Abstract: A disposable litter container including container walls perpendicularly coupled to a base for defining an inner cavity of a container. The litter container including a cover hingedly coupled to a container wall for closing the inner cavity of the container for disposal. The container including barriers extendable between a folded position and an upright position for containing litter material within the inner cavity of the container. The cover including a plurality of spaced foldable extents for defining an adjustable height threshold for entry into the inner cavity of the container. Preferably, the container is formed of a unitary structure and adjacent container walls are connected to form the container. The connection of adjacent container walls of the present invention are designed to retain moisture within the inner cavity. In one embodiment of the invention the container walls are designed for collapse to define a generally flat structure for storage and transport.

  • Patent number: 4691115
    Abstract: A system for rotating a drive mechanism which can be connected to an electrical generator or the like. The system (10) is particularly suitable for providing electrical power to a residence and includes a reservoir (14) for containing a volume of liquid such as water (16). Weight is applied to the upper surface of the liquid for forcing it downward. This liquid is discharged from the reservoir through a spout (36) which concentrates the discharged liquid into a stream which is directed against a drive mechanism (38) such as a turbine (40) for imparting rotational forces. The discharged water is received in a catch basin (50) from which it is then moved, as by pumping, back into the reservoir for a further cycle of operation.
