Abstract: A system for converting audible air traffic control instructions for pilots operating from an air facility to textual format. The system may comprise a processor connected to a jack of the standard pilot headset and a separate portable display screen connected to the processor. The processor may have a language converting functionality which can recognize traffic control nomenclature and display messages accordingly. Displayed text may be limited to information intended for a specific aircraft. The display may show hazardous discrepancies between authorized altitudes and headings and actual altitudes and headings. The display may be capable of correction by the user, and may utilize Global Positioning System (GPS) to obtain appropriate corrections. The system may date and time stamp communications and hold the same in memory. The system may have computer style user functions such as scrollability and operating prompts.

Abstract: An engine noise simulating novelty device is provided including a speaker for audibly transmitting audio signals upon the receipt thereof. Further included is a sound module connected to the speaker and a tachometer of a vehicle. The sound module is adapted to communicate audio signals with the speaker which represent a sound, wherein a frequency of the sound is varied with a change in the revolutions per minute of the engine of the vehicle, as indicated by the tachometer.

Abstract: A sleeping driver detector and alarm system for awaking a sleeping driver. The sleeping driver detector and alarm system includes contacts for measuring skin resistance, a microcontroller for determining a baseline resistance and an alarm that sounds when resistance varies from the baseline. Alternate embodiments provide for the positioning of the contacts integral to the steering wheel of the vehicle or within a glove worn on the hand of a driver. The microcontroller performs a reiterative process to update the baseline resistance and continuously compare the baseline resistance to a current resistance. It is also preferred to include an analog to digital converter for converting analog signals sent from the contacts into a digital signal received by the microcontroller.

Abstract: An in-line skate suspension system for absorbing shocks when travelling over a ground surface. The suspension system includes a housing attached to a sole of an in-line skate boot with a mounting bar provided therein. An elongate tension rod is rotatably mounted in the housing. The tension rod has a pair of spaced apart threaded portions thereon. A pair of tension members each having a threaded bore therethrough are threaded onto the threaded portions of the tension rod. Each of the tension members has downwardly extending lower arm pivotally coupled thereto. The lower arms of the tension members are also pivotally coupled to the mounting bar. A plurality of spaced apart wheel assemblies downwardly depend from the mounting bar. Each wheel assembly comprises a ground engaging wheel, an axle, a pivot arm, an extent and a spring.
