  • Patent number: 9468056
    Abstract: A light source for a color display apparatus (1) for displaying light at optical wavelengths corresponding a plurality of different colors sequentially, comprising a plurality of light-emitting diodes (3, 4, 5) each respectively operable to emit light to display a respective one of the plurality of different colors, a power source (26) connected to the plurality of LEDs for supplying power thereto a plurality of capacitor units (7, 8, 9) connected to the power source to be provided thereby with charge for generating a respective one of a plurality of different respective forward bias voltages for application to the LEDs to operate the LED. A control unit (10) is operable to selectively connect a capacitor unit to an LED for applying a desired one of the different said forward bias voltages thereto according to the color of light which the LED is operable to display.

  • Patent number: 8881865
    Abstract: A portable belay anchor system is disclosed that provides a coupling location for safety rope attached to a climber, such as a roof inspector. The portable belay anchor system includes a base having a mast coupled thereto. The mast has a shaft portion and a flange portion. A plurality of removable weights are positioned on the shaft, coupled to the flange portion. The flange portion supports the weights so that the weight is carried by the shaft itself. A retaining member is coupled to the mast to hold the weights on the mast. A shackle is also coupled to the mast. A rope is coupled to the shackle to act a the belay rope which the user positions through a belay brake device.
