20110271570Electrostatically Mounted Display System for Magnetic Tokens - Apparatus and associated methods involve a system to electrostatically mount a display system with a number of visible indicators that define regions and magnetically mount a number of tokens that correspond to the defined regions. In an illustrative example, the display system may include a flexible vinyl carrier of between 0.004 and 0.010 inches which may be sufficient thickness to facilitate removal of air bubbles but sufficiently thin to support magnetic tokens on a wide variety of target surfaces. One surface of the carrier may provide a retention force generated by electrostatic forces between the first surface and a target surface. In an example implementation, the target surface may be the exterior of a residential appliance. An opposite surface of the carrier may include visible indicia, for example, of a map.11-10-2011

20080309088Methods and Apparatus for Power Generation - Motion of a first component in response to waves is converted to rotary motion of a member of a second component. The two components are magnetically coupled to each other. The relative linear motion of the components causes energy to be transmitted from waves between the two components via the magnetic coupling, and thus no mechanical connection is required for the transmission. This can allow for wave energy conversion without a need for hydraulic or pneumatic systems. Applications for technologies described herein include ocean wave energy converters (OWEC) for generating electricity from wave energy.12-18-2008

20110121038DISPENSER SYSTEM - The invention relates to a dispenser system with a housing, into which a reservoir cartridge is inserted, which is formed by a reservoir container and a distribution device. Housing comprises an actuation device which acts on distribution device in such a way that a pressure on the actuation device delivers a portion of the medium on the distribution device. The known dispenser systems have the drawback that an individual dispenser is required depending on the medium. According to the invention, in order to create an identical part dispenser system, a connection element compensating for the different geometries of distribution device is connected to distribution device. Moreover, actuation device comprises at different levels pressure-exerting faces, which cooperate with pressure-receiving faces of distribution device, wherein different faces engage with one another depending on employed reservoir cartridge.05-26-2011
