Patent number: 9671306Abstract: An easy-to-use, installation-free water leak warning device having a sturdy hollow body enclosing essential functioning elements including a power source, an amplifier, a speaker, and portions of two electrodes. The water leak warning device is preferably small in size and may be placed at potential water leak or flooding spots. The essential functioning elements are operatively connected with conductive material so that when leaked water flows to where the device is located, an audible signal can be emitted to alert the user of the device to prevent further leakage and mitigate any damage.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2016Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: Widget Lab Inc.Inventor: Joshua Scharf

Patent number: 8497634Abstract: The invention discloses an illumination system having a first proximate detector with a first zone detector and a first transmitter. The first zone detector can detect the passing of a human body and the transmitter can send a signal upon such detection. The invention may further include a second zone detector and a second transmitter having similar capacities. In addition, the invention may also have a first staircase illuminator and a second staircase illuminator. Detection of a person passing near a zone detector may cause a staircase illuminator to illuminate a staircase area. The process of transmitting, receiving and illuminating may continue for as long as any of the illuminators within the illumination system that has not yet been illuminated.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2009Date of Patent: July 30, 2013Assignee: Innovation Works, Inc.Inventor: Joshua Scharf

Publication number: 20100060173Abstract: The invention discloses an illumination system having a first proximate detector with a first zone detector, which is capable of detecting the passing of a human body. Also part of the proximate detector is a first transmitter that is capable of sending a signal upon the activation of the first zone detector. The invention also has a first staircase illuminator capable of illuminating a first staircase area. Once the first zone detector is activated, the first transmitter sends a signal to a receiver on a second staircase illuminator, which is capable of illuminating a second staircase area. A second zone detector is included that is capable of detecting the passing of a human body, which also causes a second transmitter to send a signal to a receiver on the first staircase illuminator or any other staircase illuminator that is part of the illumination system. Included also is the second staircase illuminator that is capable of illuminating the second staircase area.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2009Publication date: March 11, 2010Inventor: Joshua Scharf
