Abstract: An electronic means for monitoring and controlling engine performance. The device takes input signals from vehicle engine speed sensor and ignition values. The electronic means is capable of recording an RPM event, and playing it back on the existing vehicle tachometer. Either the entire RPM event may be replayed, or the highest RPM value achieved during the event. Furthermore, the electronic means comprises a dial to set the RPM limit of an engine to prevent over-revving. Once the engine reaches the maximum user-defined RPM value, the electronic means interrupts the ignition system to prevent the engine from revving above such pre-determined value. The electronic means further comprises a shift light which illuminates once an engine reaches a pre-determined RPM value in order to alert the driver to shift gears.

Abstract: An atomizing spray booth for applying liquid solutions comprises an enclosure having a curved nozzle rack with a plurality of nozzles attached to a bracket mounted to a rolling bar assembly. The nozzles rack moves about a vertical length of a sidewall to spray atomized solution towards a person. A downdraft ventilation system pushes solution-air mixture downwards to cover the person and towards side-mounted vents at a lower portion of the booth. The exhaust vents pull the remaining solution upwards and outwards from the booth through conduits in hollow support columns. A snorkel inlet in communication with a fan delivers fresh air in the booth. A filter wash down nozzle cleans buildup residue in the columns. A water sump pump pumps waste water from the booth.

Abstract: A non-thermal low dose light emitting diode (LED) array provides for the application of therapeutically specific radiation is provided. The array delivers radiation to the intended target surface at a controlled intensity. The intensity is controlled with a specific sequence of pulsing by pulse driving a matrix-arrayed LED. The modulation of the therapeutically specific radiation is at a frequency outside the user's visually perceptive range, but with a visually perceptible cycle. The cycle is initiated by a strobe rate very slow and perceptible to the user and then ramp up rapidly to over 30 cycles per second for the dosage period. The cycle is terminated by ramping down the strobe rate from above 30 cycles per second to a slower, visually perceptible level at the end of the dosage period.
