  • Publication number: 20170353579
    Abstract: A system for acknowledging and recording lifetime achievements of a user's philanthropic activities through a socially accessible philanthropic chronological profile has been disclosed. The system includes a database containing philanthropic data and profile information of several users and a web coding mechanism to organize and display data found on said database into a socially accessible philanthropic chronology that is online and automated. Each automated lifetime achievement award is socially accessible and can evolve and expand throughout time as and when new philanthropic data becomes available, thus avoiding the need for issuing separate awards to acknowledge a profile user's achievements and contributions.

  • Patent number: 6788504
    Abstract: A mobile system for use in supplying AC power to different types of electrical loads including those having grounded neutrals as well as those having neutrals that are electrically isolated from ground. The system includes a GFCI circuit and can be switched between a first mode, in which the circuit provides AC power with ground fault protection for those loads having ungrounded (isolated) neutrals, and a second mode, in which the GFCI is deactivated so that it will not experience false tripping due to the intentional grounding of the neutral at the load. Both single and multi-phase systems are disclosed which can be incorporated into a vehicle, towed trailer, or portable generator. The system is useful for providing AC power to various types of electrical loads at locations where public utility power is not readily available.

  • Patent number: 5723831
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a tackable/acoustical wall panel having a peripheral frame including a top rail, a bottom rail, opposed side rails and a dividing rail bisecting the panel into a first cavity and a second cavity. The dividing rail extends at a height where a work surface would be attached to the panel. The first cavity has a substantially rigid first septum mounted therein in order to restrict sound transmission through the panel. The first septum has opposing rigid front and back surfaces. A tackable inner layer is secured to the first septum. The second cavity has a substantially rigid second septum mounted therein in order to restrict sound transmission through the panel. The second septum has opposing rigid front and back surfaces. A decorative cover is secured to the frame and extends over the first cavity and the second cavity.
