  • Publication number: 20190275284
    Abstract: A method and a device for maintaining mind concentration, is presented here. This device is intended for ADD children and students, and for people that are apt to fall asleep unintentionally while doing their task. The device is mainly composed of a microcontroller, batteries and few switches. The microcontroller provides a digital timer, and it generates a sequence of sets of signals at the end of a given time interval. Those are sent via a wire to the micro motor which is housed in a wrist belt that is situated on the user hand. As the motor is actuated it vibrates and shakes gently the user hand; Those stop daydreams, and irrelevant thoughts, if any, while they do not disturb attention or concentration, on behalf, of the special compact structure.

  • Patent number: 6667691
    Abstract: A method for the early detection of faults in an electric supply system, comprising the steps of continuously checking the existence of RF transients on the electric supply system line, transforming detected transients whose amplitude is above a predetermined level, into a sequence of pulses, analyzing the temporal spacing between pulses to identify those which are due to dimmers, and disregarding them, identifying short-noisy states structures in said sequence, states whose duration is shorter than a period T-ARC, determining short-noisy states where the current amplitudes before and after said states are different, and disregarding these states considered to be caused by normal switching operations, regarding each of the remaining short-noisy states as a faulty event and accumulating such events in a first register, identifying separately long-noisy states in said sequence, states whose duration is longer than a period T-ARC, ascribing a number of arcing events to each long-noisy state proportional to its d
