  • Patent number: 10652983
    Abstract: A direct current (DC) energy and data providing system to various modules associated with loads, wherein the modules are hot swappable in that the modules may be both installed and removed via a standard interface, without powering down the system to provide a simplified network for the management of a DC energy and data for facilitating both upgrade of the system and integration of the system with external systems associated with control, automation and/or security.

  • Publication number: 20160345045
    Abstract: A vehicle display system. The system may comprise a display device; a frame; a connector plate; and a universal display adaptor. The display device may comprise: a display screen, a housing, a rear casing, a circuit board, and wire harness. The connector plate and rear casing may have openings, such that the wire harness may pass from the circuit board to the universal display adaptor. The frame and the display device are removeably mounted onto a front face of the connector plate. The universal display adaptor is mounted onto a back face of the connector plate. The aftermarket vehicle display system may be configured to be mounted into an interior of any late model vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20150294743
    Abstract: A thermonuclear reaction system for generating a thermonuclear fusion reaction includes a reaction chamber and a number of particle beam emitters. The reaction system has at least four particle beam emitters supported spatially around oriented toward a common focal region of the reaction chamber for directing at least four plasma beams that are spatially symmetrical in three dimensional space. Each of the plasma beams are directed towards a plasma region in the geometric center. A stable collapse of the plasma region permits a controllable and sufficiently long confinement time, which in combination with necessary temperature and density conditions may ignite and sustain fusion reactions and achieve a net energy output. Optionally, laser beams or other input energy devices may also be oriented around and toward the common focal region to direct high-energy laser beams at the plasma ball to assist with instigation of the fusion reaction.

  • Patent number: 9019181
    Abstract: A driver apparatus for an electroluminescent display comprising a plurality of rows to be scanned and a plurality of columns which intersect the rows to form a plurality of pixels, comprises addressable row drivers, each row driver applying an output voltage to its associated row when addressed. The value of the output voltage is approximately equal to the numerical average of the threshold voltage for the electroluminescent display and the voltage required to provide the maximum desired pixel luminance for the electroluminescent display. Bipolar column drivers each supply an output voltage to its associated column. The output voltage is either positive or negative depending on the desired luminance of the pixels. The range of both positive and negative column output voltages is from zero volts to about one half of the difference between the threshold voltage and the voltage to provide the desired maximum pixel luminance for the electroluminescent display.

  • Publication number: 20070219603
    Abstract: A plant energy instrument allows a user to relax under plant electromagnetic field. Plant electrodes form a probe unit connected to wires fitting into a plug. A person may receive plant energy inside a hollow housing having a helmet like configuration. The housing houses an energy field transformer and a charge storage device such as a capacitor. The transformer magnifies the energy field and allows the field to pass through the user. The first switch controls the energy store box switch may activate the transformer, and charge storage device. The storage box can store plant energy when the probe unit is attached to the plant. The storage box is preferably embodied with a glass shell, plant extract liquid and reaction coil. Plant extract can be tea tree oil, and aloe. A second switch may be included to control the counter and timer display to monitor instrument use.
