  • Publication number: 20220309893
    Abstract: The invention is a psychological system that combines a personal protection device with a clearly identifiable static display to show that recording of actions and identities is highly likely. It is a multipurpose system, operating as a personal security device with pulsating red and blue lights as a visible warning, a video system recording identities and criminal or abusive behavior; as a vehicle security system with a rear vehicle reflective display sticker showing that recording of actions and identities is highly likely, with a personal protection device in the vehicle on the driver's wrist; a system that works like a home security device with a preemptive yard sign indicating the presence of technical security within the home. If a crime is committed, the video and audio recording will reveal the time, the person's identity, and actions to provide for criminal prosecution. Thus, it preemptively and non-confrontationally discourages criminal and abusive behavior.

  • Patent number: 9126121
    Abstract: This motion simulator uses a spherical shape driven by controlled wheels to produce any rotational motion within certain limits. The range of pitch and roll motions can be at least ?15 to +15 degrees; yaw is unlimited. There are no moving electrical connections such as slip rings. The physical system can be produced inexpensively. Control and simulation display use a smart phone or computer tablet, which, for example, could be one already owned by a family using the simulator.

  • Patent number: 8939455
    Abstract: This invention is a child's detachable-seat ride-on vehicle which can be used in an autonomous mode for infants, thereby providing soothing motion for the child, or, with a different detachable seat, a child-controlled ride-on vehicle for young children that are beyond the infant stage. For the latter, the vehicle can be driven by the child using finger control on a touch screen, or it can operate in an autonomous mode coordinated with displayed material, thereby providing enhanced game or educational experiences.
