  • Patent number: 8153943
    Abstract: A tornado disarming network includes a command center, tornado detection systems, and tornado busting missile launch sites in communications with the command center. Tornado busting missiles are at the tornado busting missile launch sites. Each tornado busting missile includes a radar, a guidance system and a solid rocket motor for propelling the missile toward the tornado. A thruster control system causes the tornado busting missile to travel upward within the tornado upon reaching the tornado. An explosive discharge system explodes within the tornado to generate heat for causing the air within the tornado to expand, thereby weakening the tornado.

  • Publication number: 20090163785
    Abstract: A virtual non-invasive blood analysis device workstation includes a light source adjacent the body part of a person for illuminating a portion of a blood vessel therein. A magnification device magnifies particles of substances in the illuminated portion of the blood vessel, and an imaging device captures images of the magnified particles. A transducer device generates electromagnetic waves based on the captured images being exposed to an electromagnetic field, with the electromagnetic waves forming color bands. Each color band corresponds to a respective particle of substance within the blood vessel. A separation chamber separates at least a portion of the color bands within the electromagnetic waves. The separated color bands represent current characteristics of a selected particle of substance within the blood vessel.

  • Patent number: 7164352
    Abstract: A safety warning system for a vehicle includes a housing carried by the vehicle, and a telescoping extension member carried by the housing. The telescoping extension member has a retracted position for storage within the housing and an extended position for extending along the ground. Safety reflectors are carried by the telescoping extension member, and the safety reflectors are spaced apart along the ground when the telescoping extension member is in the extended position so that the safety reflectors are visible to oncoming traffic. A controller within a passenger area of the vehicle allows the driver to operate the telescoping extension member between the retracted position and the extended position.

  • Patent number: 5201659
    Abstract: A motorized gymnastic training apparatus has first and second planar support members and a central support member attached through the first planar support member into the second planar support member. The central support member has a wheel rotatably mounted on one end thereof. The central support member may have a central sleeve attached through the first support member with a sliding or telescoping member passing therethrough so that the wheel and the second planar support member can be adjusted relative to the first planar support member with a pin locking the sleeve to the telescoping central support member. An electric motor is positioned within the central support member and is coupled to the wheel through a belt and a pair of pulleys attached to the wheel shaft and to the electric motor shaft for rotating the wheel in a forward or backwards rotation responsive to the actuation of a switch.

  • Patent number: 5062630
    Abstract: A gymnastic training device has a first substantially horizontal support and a substantially vertical support member, the upper end of the substantially vertical support member is rotatably mounted on the lower side of the first substantially horizontal support. A ground engaging wheel is mounted to the lower end of the substantially vertical support member. The gymnastic training device also has a second substantially horizontal support which is fixedly mounted on the substantially vertical support member between the ground engaging wheel and the first substantially horizontal support.

  • Patent number: 5063084
    Abstract: A process for protecting vehicle windshields and chrome-plated, painted and other vehicular surfaces with a coating which prevents adherence of insects impacting with such surfaces and any chemical reaction of bug remains therewith. The coating is water soluble and contains an oil barrier, surfactant, hydrophilic agent and lipophilic agent, among other ingredients. The impacted insect remains are easily removable by washing off the coating with water.

  • Patent number: 5046449
    Abstract: A spray apparatus for coating the front of a vehicle with a liquid to prevent the adherence of insects thereto includes a reservoir for a predetermined liquid material which reservoir is mounted to the vehicle. A pump is coupled to the reservoir for pumping the liquid from the reservoir and a fan is attached to the vehicle grill on the front of the vehicle and has a dispensing tube connected from the pump to the fan for dispensing the material from the reservoir directly into the fan blade for spraying liquid over the front of the vehicle. A second embodiment connects the pump to a plurality of dispensing nozzles, such as a hose attached across the front of a vehicle with a predetermined number of openings or nozzles therein for spraying the liquid over the front of the vehicle. The liquid may also be sprayed through the windshield washer nozzles for spraying liquid from the reservoir onto the windshield.
