  • Patent number: 9509192
    Abstract: A dynamic system for generating electricity from a changing magnetic field includes solenoids routed on a single iron core, switches, and diodes. A first solenoid and a second solenoid are stationary electromagnet coils opposably routed on the iron core. A third solenoid is a stationary electric current induction coil. The first and second solenoids induce opposing magnetic fields on receiving an initial magnetizing current from a solar cell. One of the switches includes a switching system that alternately connects at least one switching node, for example, via one or more pivot joints, to one of at least two contact nodes to form a closed electric system with the first solenoid or the second solenoid, the solar cell, and a load and to change the induced magnetic field in the first solenoid or the second solenoid. The changing magnetic field induces an electric current in the third solenoid.

  • Patent number: 9070171
    Abstract: A client-server social-network for providing automated clothing suggestions. Fashion interested users form social networks, upload records of their respective wardrobes and fashion preferences, and display their wardrobe items and outfits other members of the network, often displaying entire outfits using customizable virtual mannequins. The social network members can evaluate the fashion merits of both their outfits and their friend's outfits, and the system will further store data pertaining to the social network group's fashion assessments. The system may also make statistical inferences as to what types of clothing may be favored and disfavored by the user's social network group, and present these recommendations to the user. Other factors, such as weather, event type, and user's recent history of wearing various wardrobe items can also be considered.
