  • Patent number: 10435087
    Abstract: A personal transportation vehicle. The personal transportation vehicle provides an outer and inner shell having a rotor assembly supported between. The inner shell defines a compartment, which in turn houses an input system that controls an electromagnetic drive system. The electromagnetic drive system includes electromagnets that can generate a magnetic field. A sensor detects motion of the rotor assembly and stabilizes the inner shell. A controller controls states of each electromagnet depending on a position of the rotor assembly and an input from the input system. The electromagnets of the electromagnetic drive system cooperatively cause the personal transportation vehicle to move.

  • Publication number: 20070267879
    Abstract: The invention is a fish wire kit having a chain with a hook and weight on one end and riveted or otherwise attached to housing on the other end. A round housing is provided for storing the chain when not in use and to prevent the chain from falling completely inside the wall crevice when in use. A hole is drilled in an upper section of the wall which the chain is fed through and pulled downward via gravitational force. A flexible cable having the wire attached on one end and a magnet on the upper end, is fished through a hole from the bottom of the wall such that it will attach to the chain after the flexible cable and the chain are connected via a magnetic connection. The chain can be pulled back up through the wall, which in turn, pulls the flexible cable and the wire from below and out through the upper hole in the wall.
