  • Publication number: 20200300219
    Abstract: A hybrid kite having an integrated compartment that is inflated with a gas which is lighter than air; the kite is further equipped with a wind turbine generator for the purpose of generating electricity at a high altitude, which can be utilized by the kite or be relayed to the ground for practical use. The kite is anchored in the air as a result of an upward pulling/push force (drag) created by wind, and a combination of buoyancy, to keep the generator/s aloft for an extended period of time beyond 24 hours. The kite may also serve the purpose of an antenna, to send and receive wireless communication from a base. Moreover the kite can serve as a surveillance vantage point, when equipped with a camera, video camera, microphone and lights, to give an aerial vantage point of a given location.

  • Publication number: 20150327775
    Abstract: An apparatus to enable health care providers to perform a number of diagnostic procedures, including listening to the heart, obtaining electrocardiograms, sonograms, ocular and otoscopic exams; audio and video functions as well as mobile phone capabilities, not limited to voice and text messaging. A pocket size instrument displays an ECG tracing on its screen simultaneously upon auscultation of the heart. The screen allows for audio-video display, Spo2 and touch screen functions. Wireless broadband technology may provide a closed circuit or global interface for real-time wireless transmission of acquired data, audio, photos and videos. Many common non-invasive examinations and tests can be performed without the need for a multiplicity of devices.

  • Publication number: 20120162973
    Abstract: A shower LED lighting system is disclosed consisting of a generator that provides electrical energy to a rechargeable battery. Said battery powers a LED light bulb using an energy conservation approach. In bright lighting condition from natural sunlight, a light sensor detects this condition, and uses the generator to recharge a battery for later use. During dim or poor light condition, the recharged battery provides electricity to the LED light bulb in a shower stall environment. Various embodiments of the invention can be realized; for example a newly designed showerhead as a entity that exist between a shower head and a water outlet pipe system.

  • Publication number: 20100176012
    Abstract: A dual set of golf bags are provided, suspended and supported on a spring-loaded axled, geared system about a point, which permits movements of two or more individual golf bags about an axis relative to each other. One or more spring-loaded axles are provided between each golf bags and back support entity to permit independent or concerted movements of one or more units. When the bags are positioned on the wearer's back, it maybe carried in a new “X” formation (opened position) or positioned on the ground in a new mono-stand “tripod” orientation, which uses a single stand structured, coupled with at least two bags to form a tripod stand. The bag maybe closed relative to each other to appear similar to a stand golf bag for easy transport or to be worn in a traditional way. Further, the bags maybe opened and closed by the application of a force.

  • Publication number: 20080071184
    Abstract: An apparatus to enable health care providers to perform a number of diagnostic procedures, including listening to the heart, obtaining electrocardiograms and sonograms. A pocket size instrument displays an EKG tracing on its screen simultaneously upon auscultation of the heart. The abdomen may also be investigated by displaying a sonogram. Wireless broadband technology may provide a closed circuit interface for real-time wireless transmission of acquired data. Examination requires none of a multiplicity of wires to untangle, bulky machines or a technician to be summoned. Regurgitation, heart size, ischemia and heart murmurs can all be evaluated by a visual and auditory methods.

  • Publication number: 20060252569
    Abstract: A training golf ball apparatus designed to imitate the realistic feel, weight, acoustic and flight characteristic of a real (regulation standard) golf ball, to allow a golfer to practice the sport in a realistic way safely at home, includes mechanized flights concealed within a cavity of the golf ball; a lightweight ball component and a magnetized tee. The device will perform as well as a standard golf ball; give accurate feedback on performance and promote realistic training in the home environment. The device provides the illusion that a lightweight golf ball is of standard weight when it is placed on a tee. For safety reason, the training golf ball apparatus changes aerodynamic properties once leaving the golf tee, and behaves as a lightweight, high aerodynamic drag object once airborne.

  • Publication number: 20060040768
    Abstract: A disposable golf ball-teeing device, when attached to the front half of footwear, aids a golfer to successfully position a golf ball onto a stationary tee, without the need for a one leg-balancing act; repeated bending; stooping or the application of expensive machines. The teeing process requires only very basic skill level and the ability to stand erect on both feet while lifting the toe portion of one shoe in order to position the golf ball onto a tee. A first version has members that surround the front of the shoe, and a second version adheres to the underside of the shoe. Both versions have protruding members with an opening between them for supporting a golf ball. A third version, which may be reusable, has an hand operated remote actuator for movement of protruding arms to capture and place a golf ball.

  • Publication number: 20050064950
    Abstract: A training golf ball apparatus designed to imitate the realistic feel, weight, acoustic and flight characteristic of a real (regulation standard) golf ball, to allow a golfer to practice the sport in a realistic way safely at home, includes a mechanized shuttlecock; a lightweight ball component and a magnetized tee. When arranged functionally, the device will perform as well as a standard golf ball; give accurate feedback on performance and promote realistic training in the home environment. The device is engineered in such a way to give the illusion that a lightweight golf ball is of standard weight when it is placed on a tee. For safety reason, the training golf ball apparatus changes aerodynamic properties once leaving the golf tee, and behaves as a lightweight, high aerodynamic drag object once airborne.
