  • Publication number: 20180041053
    Abstract: An Automatic Exchanging and Charging Station (AECS) for replenishing electrical energy sources onboard electric powered RC vehicles is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the automatic exchanging and charging station includes a rack, replaceable batteries, a service module, and an electronic computer control system. The replaceable batteries are stocked on the rack and substantially charged as energy sources within RC vehicles. The service module is mounted on the rack, and the electronic computer control system is connected in electrical communication with the service module. In this configuration, the service module is controllably operable to receive a depleted replaceable battery from a RC vehicle and also selectively deliver one of the charged replaceable batteries onboard the RC vehicle. In another embodiment, the service station facility may also stock replaceable energy cells such as capacitors for selective delivery onboard RC vehicles.

  • Patent number: 9873408
    Abstract: An Automatic Service Station Facility (ASSF) for replenishing various motivational energy sources onboard different types of AUV, Drones, and Remotely Controlled (RC) or robotic vehicles is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the automatic service station facility includes a rack, replaceable fuel tanks, a service module, and an electronic computer control system. The replaceable fuel tanks are stocked on the rack and substantially filled with various fluids which are utile as motivational energy sources within fuel-operated vehicles. The service module is mounted on the rack, and the electronic computer control system is connected in electrical communication with the service module. In this configuration, the service module is controllably operable to receive a depleted replaceable fuel tank from a fuel-operated vehicle and also selectively deliver one of the filled replaceable fuel tanks onboard the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 4872095
    Abstract: An entrance door night-light contained within an enclosure that is mounted to the head of an entrance doorway between the storm door and the entrance door. The enclosure is positioned to project light onto the doorhandle and lockset area. The enclosure contains a lamp, powered by a DC voltage source, a momentary switch that makes contact with the storm door and is used to switch the lamp on when the storm door is opened, a timer to turn the light off if the storm door does not close, and a photocell to keep the lamp off during daylight, even when the storm door is open.
