Filed:

Jan 24, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/351164

Inventors:

Adam Giermek - Los Angeles CA 90018
Mark G. Valentine - Torrance CA 90502

International Classification:

G09B 300

US Classification:

434327, 434322

Abstract:

This invention relates to an instructional device comprising a casing snugly enclosing a first central insert component and a second insert component. Each insert component has a combination of protruding fences, walled openings, and plain openings on a top and bottom surfaces. The first central insert component and the second central insert component is stacked together with the bottom surfaces of each central insert component communicating directly with each other resulting in the top surface of the first central insert component facing away from the top surface of the second central insert component. The stacking of the bottom surfaces with each other forms a series of internal enclosures and pathways while each top surface of the central insert components forms a series of external enclosures and pathways. The coordination of the internal and external enclosures and pathways forms several pathways permitting passage of an object from one top surface to the other top surface or through a middle compartment formed after stacking the first with the second central insert compartment. The object is the tool used to operate the device.

International Classification:

G01S 13/00

US Classification:

342 22, 342 27, 342 28, 342160, 342195

Abstract:

A method of detecting a target in a room using a radar system having a transmitter for irradiating the object, a sensor for receiving reflected radiation, and circuitry for analyzing the reflected radiation to determine at least one characteristic thereof, the method including determining at least one parameter for each wall of a plurality of walls of a room containing the target; determining possible signal paths between the target and the sensor for paths including up to N reflections based on the at least one parameter of each wall and the location of the sensor; calculating target image locations based on the possible signal paths; and processing the received radiation to determine a target location based on target image locations.

Inventors:

Mark Valentine - Torrance CA, US

Assignee:

U-Code, Inc. - Torrance CA

International Classification:

E05B 13/10

US Classification:

070278100, 070214000

Abstract:

A digital keypad coded entry electronic lock is provided for operating an electronically operated door bolt locking mechanism within a closure or safe. The digital input handle is provided in two parts, with an upper head part positioning the keypad away from a depending handle part. Insertion and removal of an electronic storage battery is facilitated by providing an open rear portion of the handle through which the battery can be inserted or removed without the need for screws, pins or tools.

Appl. No.:

13/523551

Inventors:

Carlos Camara - Venice CA, US
Mark G. Valentine - Marina Del Rey CA, US

International Classification:

H01J 35/10
H01J 35/18

US Classification:

378125, 378119, 378121

Abstract:

A high energy radiation generator utilizes sliding friction in a low pressure environment to generate high energy radiation, for example x-rays. The sliding friction may be generated by sweeping one material against a second material, for example rotating a surface of a rotor against a membrane, in the presence of an electron target, which may be one of the first material or the second material, or a different material.
