  • Patent number: 11763001
    Abstract: An anti-malware computer providing a hardware-centric solution for preventing (or substantially reducing) hacking which cannot be affected by contaminated software. The anti-malware computer is configured with an anti-malware circuit device, Internet regulator devices and an Internet active indicator that facilitate receiving an Internet access request from an Internet regulator device. Responsive to the Internet access request received, establishing an Internet communications link between the anti-malware computer and the Internet and illuminating an Internet active indicator. Monitoring for active Internet activity cessation from the anti-malware computer and if inactive initiating an Internet inactivity timer and counting the total Internet inactivity time. If an Internet inactivity level has been met blocking the Internet communications link between the anti-malware computer and the Internet and deactivating the Internet ready indicator.

  • Patent number: 10568780
    Abstract: A 24-hour incontinence detection system contains a conductivity sensor being a passive device and is disposed in a vicinity of where a leak is most likely to occur. A liquid leak detection circuit is connected to the conductivity sensor and receives a resistance value sensed by the conductivity sensor. A Bluetooth transmitter is connected to the liquid detection circuit. An alarm receives a signal from the Bluetooth transmitter. The signal is representative of the output from the liquid leak detection circuit. The liquid leak detection circuit activates the alarm in dependence on the resistance value of the conductivity sensor.

  • Publication number: 20170210276
    Abstract: A motor vehicle lighting configuration has a plurality of backup lights for illuminating an area in a rear of the motor vehicle and a flasher for changing a mode of operation of the backup lights from a continuous lighting mode to a flashing mode of light illuminated by the backup lights. A switch is provided for actuating the flasher and thus changing a mode of operation of the backup lights. A backup mode indicator is provided for indicating whether the backup lights are in a flashing mode or a continuous lighting mode.

  • Patent number: 4674508
    Abstract: A low-power consumption implantable pacer includes a system for detecting evoked cardiac contractions in which pacing pulses are initially applied to a patient's heart in pairs such that at most only one pulse of a pair can induce capture. The lead recovery waveforms produced in response to each of the pulses of a pair are detected and compared. By selectively varying the pulse energy level, the patient's capture threshold is determined. Pulse energy is then increased such that the first pulse of each pair induces capture and the lead recovery waveform resulting from the second, non-capturing pulse is stored. To conserve battery current, single pacing pulses are then supplied to the heart, and the lead recovery waveforms developed by the single pulses are compared against the stored waveform to yield a reference difference signal which verifies capture.
