Abstract:

A non-locking boot clip, mountable on a snowboard, is provided. The clip permits a user to quickly, easily, and reversibly stabilize an unbound snowboard boot to the snowboard. The clip comprises a base and a retainer. The retainer is preferably cantilevered over the snowboard for easy clipping and unclipping of a boot to the clip. The clip preferably includes an adhesive layer to permit retrofitting of the clip to an existing snowboard so that the clip may be placed on the snowboard as desired by a user. Alternatively, a combination conventional mount and reversible mounting clip may be used.

Thomas Christopher Giannulli - Simi Valley CA, US

International Classification:

H03F 3/68

US Classification:

330125

Abstract:

The invention is a power converter that coverts audio signal energy into a regulated DC power. The invention uses the audio output sources available on most modern transportation systems such as airplanes, trains and busses and converts the electrical output of those sources to an electrical output that can be used to recharge or allow extended use of various portable electronic devices. The main components of the invention include a rectifier section which is designed to rectify and amplify input AC signal energy. This is followed by a current storage section which accumulates the input energy and determines if the stored energy is sufficient to be output to the regulator component. The regulator component converts stored energy component signal into regulated DC output.

Abstract:

A system and method for requesting and retrieving contact information from an encoded business card comprises a business card having a unique serial number imprinted thereon; a card reader device such as bar code reader adapted to read an encoded unique serial number; and an electronic communication device or computer coupled to the reader for communication to a central repository of contact information. In operation the bar-code imprinted on the business card is read by the card reader device and is then transmitted to a central networked computer for retrieval of business and./or personal contact information associated with the bar-coded serial number.
