Abstract: A luggage tag comprises an indicator; a thin tag body including a radiofrequency (RF) receiver configured to receive an RF signal transmitted by an RF transmitter and a processor in communication with the RF receiver and the indicator, the processor being configured to acquire information from the RF signal that is received by the RF receiver and to turn on the indicator in response to the information acquired from the RF signal; and a coupling unit for coupling the thin tag body of the luggage tag to luggage.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for a stairlift overspeed safety system are disclosed. The overspeed safety system may include a centripetal cam assembly, a trigger assembly, and a jammer assembly. The centripetal cam assembly may include a spring-loaded plate and a plurality of centripetal cams connected to the spring-loaded plate, configured to move to an extended position when the rail speed exceeds the speed threshold. The trigger assembly may include a trigger plate configured to be pushed by at least one of the centripetal cams when moved to the extended position. Pushing the trigger plate may cause a switch to open to shut off power to the motorized stairlift. The jammer assembly may include a jammer configured to wedge between teeth of a rack and pinion of the motorized stairlift to initiate a deceleration to stop movement of the motorized stairlift.

Abstract: A stair lift includes a track, a carriage, a drive mechanism and a folding mechanism. The track has a main track section and a lower track section. The lower track section is pivotally mounted to the main track section and is moveable between a lowered position and a raised position. The folding mechanism shifts the lower track section to its lowered position whenever the carriage and seat approach the lowermost stairs and lifts the lower track section to its raised position as the carriage and seat move up the stairway. The folding mechanism is actuated and powered by movement of the carriage and does not require its own motor, cylinder, or other actuator.

Abstract: An improved automobile anti-theft guard plate that provides exceptional strength through the use of two bonded plates. The first plate has a flanged circumference to enclose the second plate. These flanges, especially when combined with the second plate's inherit strength, provide for enhanced rigidity to withstand deformation from a pry bar. An opening through both plates permits the automobile's handle lock activation and door opening mechanism access to these mechanisms within the automobile door. A tower or vertical member on the guard plate extends vertically from the plates and at least partially surrounds and shields the handle's mechanisms to even further dissuade tampering by a thief. The guard plate is additionally designed to permit the handle to be secured thereto through the use of tabs which engage the handle at the same time the handle is engaging the opening mechanism.

Abstract: An improved automobile handle guard plate assembly which provides added strength via a lipped brace which overlays and strengthens a security plate. The security plate and the brace are secured together with an adhesive and positioned between the exterior door handle and the automobile's door. The door handle is permitted easy access to the locking mechanism within the door via an opening in the security plate. A thief trying to enter the automobile by accessing the locking mechanism through the door, finds a security plate to prevent access and a brace on the security plate to preventing deformation of the security plate.

Abstract: A stainless steel guard plate for preventing forced entry into certain automobilies by forcing a screwdriver between the door handle mechanism and the outer door panel to unlock the door is retrofitted to the automobile. The handle mechanism is removed from an opening in the door. The guard plate includes a stainless steel plate having an aperture through which an operative portion of the handle mechanism extends, with side flanges of the guard plate extending inwardly along the upper and lower edges of the guard plate aperture and through the original opening in the door panel. A first screw which is accessible through a rear end plate of the door when it is opened, passes through a hole in an inwardly extending tab of the guard plate and into a threaded hole in a tongue member of the handle mechanism. The first screw is tightened, drawing the rear portion of the handle mechanism tightly against the guard plate, pressing it tightly against the outer surface of the door panel.
