  • Patent number: 9637960
    Abstract: An entry securing apparatus for securing a door is provided that may comprise a rod secured to the door with one or more supports; a door block comprising a slot for receiving the rod and allowing the rod to pass through the door block, the door block moveable from a disengaged position to an engaged position, wherein the door block is in the engaged position when a portion of the door block is overlapping at least a portion of a door frame surrounding the door; and a fastener for securing the door block in the engaged position, whereby opening of the door is restricted by the door block.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 30, 2013

  • Patent number: 8839890
    Abstract: The invention presents a dual-mode hybrid high occupancy capacity vehicle (HHOCV) with a novel electrical energy and power storage application, electrical energy and power source and charging system in conjunction with additional methods to maximize the energy and rate of use such that the overall system is far superior to multiple personal transportation vehicles and roadway based catenary mass transit systems, including, but not limited to petroleum-only fueled high occupancy capacity vehicles. The HHOCV exhibits a novel battery charging system by taking advantage of existing track/trolley/catenary facilities for electrically charging its electrical storage media at a high energy rate so as to minimize disruption of such charging services, and is not confined by physical boundaries or limitations and may travel off the power source to the existing common roadways returning only to be recharged.
    Type: Grant
