  • Publication number: 20070150819
    Abstract: A system for monitoring a sensor includes a GUI (Graphical User Interface) such as a WebPage embedded in the sensor. The GUI is configured to display information relating to the sensor from a user computer connectable to the sensor via an Ethernet connection and having an internet web browser for accessing the WebPage of the sensor. A computer-readable medium is embedded within the sensor and has stored therein computer-usable instructions for a processor. These instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to generate the GUI.

  • Patent number: 5290184
    Abstract: A flying disc with two lights located on or near the disk's perimeter, with two symmetrically opposed housings on the underside of the disk near the disk's outmost edge. The two housings store the batteries and the electrical components for illuminating the disk. The housings are placed on opposite sides of the disk, so that the bulk of the disk's weight is on the disk's outside edge. Aerodynamic stability in a flying disk is optimum when the bulk of the disk's weight is distributed on it's outside edge. Thus, the present invention has greater stability when set in rotational motion than existing disks which house electronic components and batteries in the center.
