US Classification:

604347, 604319, 604326, 604329, 604355

Abstract:

This invention is an automatic or semi-automatic bladder relief system for users that require disposal of urine in the absence of sanitary facilities, like aircraft pilots and incontinent individuals. It incorporates an inflatable urine collector deflatable after use. It incorporates disposable batteries into a disposable urine storage bag with an isolated cleaning fluid chamber with directional valve and pump system that automatically rinses and sanitizes the pump, hoses, collection means and user with cleaning fluid stored in the cleaning fluid chamber. The urine storage bag has a failsafe device in the event of system failure, it being detachable from the pump with a stored extendable portion forming a seal with user's body allowing urination into the bag without urine splash-back and upon completion the user places the extended portion back into the unit closing it with a ziplock. The storage bag contains absorbent polymer crystals absorbing the deposited urine.

International Classification:

G09G 5/08
G09G 5/00

US Classification:

345158, 345 7, 345 8, 345165, 345166

Abstract:

This invention relates to an active Laser Protection System (LPS) system specifically designed to provide a device that automatically adjusts a protection panel of the device in response to laser light exposure thus preventing a user from being exposed to damaging laser light. In one embodiment the LPS system utilizes a light weight portable goggle type eyewear. In yet another embodiment the LPS system is comprised of contact lenses worn by the user. The LPS system may be used in all light transmissive surfaces where the penetration of laser light is not desired, such as aircraft, spacecraft, vessel, train, and automotive windshields, etc. The LPS system may also be utilized as a replacement window for structures where laser light penetration is undesired. The protection panels utilize Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) that are activated by laser sensors by means of a microprocessor and power supply means. The device also automatically replaces non-laser visible light that may be blocked because the light was of the same wavelength as the blocked light by projecting that light by means of activating the LCD accordingly by means of the microprocessor.
