  • Publication number: 20090079557
    Abstract: A wireless, self-activating, proximity warning system utilizes an on-board computer of an automobile and a GPS locating system to sending a warning signal to a vehicle operator that a child has been left buckled and unattended in an infant seat. A transmitter associated with the child seat transmits coded RF signals of certain strength to a receiver carried by the operator. The receiver triggers an alarm when the signal strength or time between transmitted signals indicates that the operator has gone beyond a permitted range.

  • Publication number: 20070057581
    Abstract: A system and method for generating power. A plurality of superconductive electromagnet pairs are disposed around a stationary coil in a circular pattern. The electromagnets of each respective electromagnet pair are positioned on opposing sides of the circular pattern. A control processor is connected to each electromagnet pair. When the control processor applies power to turn on and off the electromagnet pairs in a predetermined sequence, rotational and magnetic fields are generated and a current flow is induced in the stationary coil. The resulting current may be used to provide power to external systems and to operate the power generating system.
