20080318308 | Aerating organic matter container - The present invention consists of a container of arbitrary size, shape, and density configured with ventilating holes of arbitrary size, shape, and distribution to promote air circulation and drainage. In some variations of the present invention a hinged rotatable cover or a supported removable cover prevents the entry of rain into the container. In a closed container organic material will generate dangerous heat build-up that can lead to spontaneous combustion and will present a malingering stench problem as the material decomposes. The present invention alleviates both problems by promoting and facilitating the circulation of air and the drainage of moisture while the organic material is being staged for collection and also provides additional benefits thereby inhibiting the build up of dangerous heat and objectionable fumes and reducing the possibility of spontaneous combustion. The ventilating and drainage holes significantly reduce container weight without significantly reducing strength. Furthermore, the ventilating holes and the drainage holes of the container of the present invention enable and promote evaporation and drying of the organic payload providing additional weight reduction. These additional benefits of the present invention ease the burden of lifting and transporting the waste for both the property owner and collector. | 12-25-2008 |
20090289828 | Wireless transferable control system - It is desirable for operators of remote control systems to share the experience of controlling remote devices or appliances with others. To accomplish this, a system has evolved whereby a Slave transmitter is cable connected to a Master transmitter and a Master/Slave Switch is added to the Master transmitter enabling control to be transferred back and forth between the transmitters. The present invention replaces the hard-wired connection with a wireless facility consisting of a discrete or segmented programmable Slave Receiver and Adaptive Director Firmware Module that provides the desired functionality wirelessly and also provides significant case-of-use and compatibility features currently unavailable. By replacing the hard-wired connection with a wireless connection, a receiver that can accept and demodulate the wireless transmission, and adaptive programmable firmware (hardware and software) the present invention provides the desired transferability of control readily and conveniently without the limitations or constraints of the current art. | 11-26-2009 |

20100106348 | SWARM Autonomic Agents With Self-Destruct Capability - Systems, methods and apparatus are provided through which in some embodiments an autonomic entity manages a system by generating one or more stay alive signals based on the functioning status and operating state of the system. In some embodiments, an evolvable synthetic neural system is operably coupled to one or more evolvable synthetic neural systems in a hierarchy. The evolvable neural interface receives and generates heartbeat monitor signals and pulse monitor signals that are used to generate a stay alive signal that is used to manage the operations of the synthetic neural system. In another embodiment an asynchronous Alice signal (Autonomic license) requiring valid credentials of an anonymous autonomous agent is initiated. An unsatisfactory Alice exchange may lead to self-destruction of the anonymous autonomous agent for self-protection. | 04-29-2010 |
