Filed:

Jan 31, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/046963

Inventors:

Robert Terry - Houston TX, US

International Classification:

G08B007/00

US Classification:

340691100, 340506000

Abstract:

A fire and smoke alarm device having a device body is removably supported on a wall by a fire resistant support loop and has a battery powered electronic circuit including a sensor for detection of a predetermined level of combustion emissions and emitting a shrill pulsating audible alarm. The device repetitively emits a pre-recorded voice alert in alternating relation with the pulsating audible alarm to alert persons who might not be easily alerted by horn or siren signals. The device incorporates a laser and/or LED light that is energized by the electronic circuitry and project a light beam from an adjustable arm or appendage of the device body. A light diffusing member is located remotely from the device body and is positionable to diffuse the light beam and to guide emergency personnel to the area being monitored.

Robert L. Terry - Houston TX, US

International Classification:

B65D 83/00

H04N 5/00

US Classification:

221282, 348 51, 386126, 348E13001

Abstract:

A vending machine with a stereoscopic three-dimensional display and a method for vending wares in conjunction with a video presentation shown on the display. The video presentation is divided into left and right views for the left and right eyes, respectively. A face plate with left and right ocular apertures is disposed on an exterior surface of the vending machine in an optimal position for viewing. A divider plate is centered between the left and right views and the left and right ocular apertures so that a viewer's left eye can only see the left view of the video presentation and vice-versa. When a purchaser buys a product from the vending machine, the purchaser may view a short video presentation through the stereoscopic display, which depicts something of interest to the viewer.

Abstract:

An apparatus with a stereoscopic three-dimensional video display. The video presentation is divided into left and right views for the left and right eyes, respectively. A face plate with left and right ocular apertures is disposed on an exterior surface of the vending machine in an optimal position for viewing. A divider plate is centered between the left and right views and the left and right ocular apertures so that a viewer's left eye can only see the left view of the video presentation and vice-versa. In one embodiment, the apparatus is incorporated in a vending machine. When a purchaser buys a product from the vending machine, the purchaser may view a short video presentation through the stereoscopic display, which depicts something of interest to the viewer. In another embodiment, the apparatus in incorporated in a housing associated with media player.

Filed:

Dec 21, 1981

Appl. No.:

6/333016

Inventors:

James L. Alford - Rancho Palos Verdes CA
Robert E. Terry - Rancho Palos Verdes CA

Assignee:

Gamma-f Corporation - Torrance CA

International Classification:

H01Q 1302

US Classification:

343786

Abstract:

A compact antenna feed system for orthogonally polarized RF signals includes a waveguide feed having orthogonally disposed internal ridges, a pair of wave detectors coupled to the waveguide feed to receive orthogonally oriented RF signals, and an amplifier housed as part of the feed system to amplify received RF signals prior to communication of the signals outside the feed system. The system is readily switchable by remote control to receive RF signals in either orientation and angular alignment to the orientation of the incoming signals is easily accomplished.

Appl. No.:

7/062761

Inventors:

James L. Alford - Rancho Palos Verdes CA
Robert E. Terry - Rancho Palos Verdes CA

Assignee:

Gamma-F Corporation - Los Angeles CA

International Classification:

H01P 1161
H01P 1213
H03H 746

US Classification:

333135

Abstract:

A diplexer for communicating signals in two different frequency bands with separate polarizations in each band may, for example, concurrently separate low frequency received signals of orthogonal polarizations from high frequency transmitted signals, also of orthogonal polarizations. To this end a common square waveguide leads to serially disposed, axially displaced, orthogonal mode transitions at which branches are made to closely coupled lowpass filters that communicate with separate ports for low frequency signal bands. A smaller square waveguide coupled to the second of the orthogonal mode transitions communicates with another orthogonal mode transition at which axially displaced branches communicate with other ports for high frequency signal bands.

International Classification:

G08B 15/00
G08B 5/38

Abstract:

The invention is a psychological system that combines a personal protection device with a clearly identifiable static display to show that recording of actions and identities is highly likely.It is a multipurpose system, operating as a personal security device with pulsating red and blue lights as a visible warning, a video system recording identities and criminal or abusive behavior; as a vehicle security system with a rear vehicle reflective display sticker showing that recording of actions and identities is highly likely, with a personal protection device in the vehicle on the driver's wrist; a system that works like a home security device with a preemptive yard sign indicating the presence of technical security within the home.If a crime is committed, the video and audio recording will reveal the time, the person's identity, and actions to provide for criminal prosecution. Thus, it preemptively and non-confrontationally discourages criminal and abusive behavior. Its intent is a passive deterrent rather than physical defense. The recording is archived, and provides evidence for a quick investigative response.

International Classification:

H04N 7/18
H04M 1/725
H04N 5/225

Abstract:

This invention is a small, wearable module communicating with a smart phone; and smart phone software communicating with the module and remote web sites; the combination providing a visual indication that the environment around the person wearing the module is being recorded by a video camera and microphone, and remotely stored, so that there will be persistent, strong evidence of any harm to the person, thereby providing a basis for legal action.

International Classification:

A63G 31/16

Abstract:

This motion simulator uses a spherical shape driven by controlled wheels to produce any rotational motion within certain limits. The range of pitch and roll motions can be at least −15 to +15 degrees; yaw is unlimited. There are no moving electrical connections such as slip rings. The physical system can be produced inexpensively. Control and simulation display use a smart phone or computer tablet, which, for example, could be one already owned by a family using the simulator.
