  • Patent number: 11780664
    Abstract: This application is directed to a Wireless Controlled Locking Jar with Integrated Vacuum Pump. More particularly, this application provides a wireless controlled lock on a jar lid having a built-in electrically powered vacuum pump and lid gasket which acts to lock the jar from unauthorized access by pulling a vacuum within the jar making it impossible to open the lid. The locking jar may be used to keep contents secure and fresh, and also out of the reach of children or other unauthorized individuals as it employs the user's Wi-Fi connected or Bluetooth paired smartphone or other device, in combination with a smartphone or other device software application, to lock and open the jar and allow access to the contents inside. By using the paired device and software application, the jar may be locked and unlocked by the user from any location.

  • Patent number: 11352179
    Abstract: This application is directed to a Biometric Locking Jar with Integrated Vacuum Pump. More particularly, this application provides a biometric locking lid capable of interfacing with a jar or other container, wherein the biometric locking lid includes a built-in electrically powered vacuum pump and a labyrinth seal lid gasket which acts to lock the jar from unauthorized access by pulling a vacuum within the jar and securing the lid to the jar preventing unauthorized access to the contents of the jar. A user enrolls a fingerprint or thumb print. The vacuum pump is activated by scanning and recognizing a user's enrolled fingerprint. The locking jar may be used to keep contents secure and fresh, and also out of the reach of children or other unauthorized individuals as it employs the user's fingerprint or thumb print to release the vacuum and open the jar, allowing access to the contents inside.

  • Patent number: 10492012
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to Wireless Vehicle/Drone Alert and Public Announcement System that creates a means for an individual to communicate with people outside their vehicle along with being able to emit preprogrammed sounds from the front, back or sides by using directional buttons, or a four or eight position directional controlling joystick, to make people aware of their presence or intentions. Additionally, a user with a smartphone, using a preprogrammed mobile smartphone application (APP) in the vehicle, has the ability to direct and activate the vehicle engine compartment module or a drone activation module to make customizable audio message transmissions. Drones can be deployed on streets, into houses, stores, buildings and around public places to alert people there of dangerous conditions.

  • Publication number: 20190248555
    Abstract: This application relates to a unique design of Biometric Locking Cannabis/Pill Containers used in keeping substances secure and away from unauthorized access, including Cannabis and prescription drugs that may be harmful to adults or children if left unsecured in open or easily accessible containers. More particularly, the Biometric Locking Cannabis/Pill Containers system offers a secure locking device which employs the users biometric finger or thumb print for opening the container without the use of cumbersome keypads which codes can be forgotten or physical keys that can be easily misplaced or lost. The lids on the containers will be lithium-ion battery power operated and have open activation and battery indicator lights displaying green for sensor activation and red for low battery power along with optional vacuum pump fitting and on-board vacuum pumps operated by electrical power, on-board battery, or operated manually by push button.
