Abstract: A turbulence dampening system for an aircraft. Using a motion sensor positioned in an airfoil or fuselage of the aircraft, a motion sensor generates signals indicative of relative motion of an airfoil. Lifting action of the airfoil is dampened based upon the signals from the motion sensor. Dampening of the lifting action is through the use of disruption of the air flowing over the airflow.

Abstract: A refueling system for vehicles which is tailored to bring fuel to the vehicle's location. The vehicle has a latchable fueling port which covers a fueling receptacle. The latchable fueling port is selectively opened using a latch release code to expose a fuel receptacle. When an operator of the vehicle wants refueling, having parked the vehicle, the operator activates an app on their cellular phone or a built-in communication apparatus, to communicate the vehicle's location and the access code to a refueling vehicle, having fueling capability for the vehicle. The refueling vehicle locates the vehicle, using the location data, and, unlatches the latchable fueling port using the latch release code, and, applies fuel to the vehicle via the fuel receptacle.

Abstract: An electric vehicle having an internal rechargeable battery which is recharged via a recharging connector. The electric vehicle has an external battery secured to an exterior of the electric vehicle. The external battery communicates electricity to the internal rechargeable battery via the recharging connector. The external battery being carried by a cantilevered platform from the electric vehicle, pulled by a trailer, or mounted to the roof of the electric vehicle.

Abstract: An electric vehicle which operates from a rechargeable battery. The rechargeable battery is contained within an enclosure such that an airspace exists between the rechargeable battery and an interior wall of the enclosure. An aerosol container containing an aerosol electrical insulator communicates with the interior of the enclosure so that when said aerosol container is discharged, the aerosol electrical insulator is released within the airspace to dampen any fire occurring with the rechargeable battery.

Abstract: The invention involves a computer or system of computers such as workstations used to provide human-readable code along with a tag associate therewith, said tag containing identifying data to an operating computer. Using a database of authorized computers (workstations), the operating computer receives the line(s) of human-readable code from the workstation and converts it into machine readable code, if and only if, the source of the code is authorized based on the database of authorized computers.

Abstract: A ballot drop box adapted to collect voting ballots. The drop box is a shell having an interior and an exterior. A chute is used by the voter to deposit their ballot. Within the drop box is a scale which collects the deposited ballot from the chute. The scale determines if a single ballot has been deposited or multiple ballots. Based on this determination, the ballot(s) are sent to an “acceptable” bin within the box or to a “further investigation needed” bin. An alternative embodiment marks the she submitted ballot(s) allowing a later determination if the ballots have been “stuffed”.

Abstract: An electrically powered truck and system for charging or easily changing the internal rechargeable battery. The truck has an internal rechargeable electric battery which is exposed when a hatch on the truck is opened. The replacement rechargeable battery is inserted into the holding frame once the original rechargeable battery has been removed. The new rechargeable battery is then secured within the truck.

Abstract: A refueling station for an electric vehicle powered by a rechargeable battery. The station has a rack/frame containing rechargeable electric batteries, some fully charged. The removal of the rechargeable battery from the electric vehicle is accomplished by a grasping mechanism that engages the battery within the vehicle, removes it, and places it on the rack/frame. A gauge reads a charge capacity of the rechargeable battery withdrawn from the electric vehicle for purposes of charging the owner of the electric vehicle.

Abstract: A sensing mechanism which activates/deactivates an exterior motor for an electric vehicle which is powered by rechargeable batteries. The sensing mechanism uses the receptacle used to charge the electric vehicle as a source to monitor the status of rechargeable battery and to start the ignition of the exterior motor.

Abstract: A locomotive being provided electrical energy from a rechargeable battery located on a separate carriage or in an alternative embodiment contained within the locomotive carriage. The rechargeable battery is optionally removable allowing a fresh rechargeable battery to be inserted to reduce down time.

Abstract: The invention utilizes an existing cash register that, in processing the purchases, establishes a unique identifier (i.e. date stamp, barcode, QR code) on the receipt and updates a database of identifiers. This identifier is used at an exit door to trigger the opening of the door/portal allowing the purchaser to leave the building. Ideally the identifier is unique and includes a date of issuance to prevent fraudulent use.

Abstract: An ingress and egress revolving doorway for a retail store utilizing an entry camera to perform facial recognition of an occupant of the revolving doorway to determine if entry is permitted. The revolving doorway, in one embodiment, is structured to “sweep” the blades of the released blades into a configuration so that an unobstructed egress from the store is assured during a fire situation.

Abstract: A networking system which employs a central computer and at least one cellular telephone. The system allows the central computer to, in response to an inquiry from a remote user, to place the inquiry accessible to other users and to communicate an alert message to another remote user via a cellular telephone associated this user. Due to these contacts, the central computer receives a response from the user of the cellular telephone.

Abstract: The invention provides a portable communications apparatus which is useful for reporting positional status report to a user-selected recipient(s). Using a global-positioning-receiver (i.e. GPS) to generate a location indicia of the portable communications apparatus, and a pre-defined user-generated message with at least one user-defined recipient, the apparatus, when activated by the user, sends the user-defined message, together with the location information, to the user-defined recipient. This information is useful for alerting the recipient of the user's location or to notify the recipient that assistance is needed.

Abstract: An encryption and communication system and computer which creates a message having both true encrypted characters with false (Red Herring) characters intermixed therewith. In one embodiment, a template is created which is then communicated to a remote computer. The message to be encrypted is received and the placement of the false information (acting as Red Herrings) is established and placed within the template. The true encrypted characters are then placed within the template without disturbing the false characters.
