20150224840 | Airtrain & Hydroairtrain - This invention is an airtrain, it is a half airplane and a half train. All parts and their functions are the exactly same as an airplane. It looks like a train but it functions and operates like an airliner. It does not fly in high altitude like an airliner but it stays close to the ground level in the ground effect. It is a two large airliner symmetrically joined together rear to rear of another same type of airliner. Depending on the configuration of an airtrain the speed and passenger carrying capability can easily surpass the speed trains that are operational today. An airtrain power comes from jet engines totally independent from electricity and steel tracts and by not having them it offers many advantages. This eliminates the complicated electrical power grids and wiring along the tracks which translates into billions of dollars in savings. | 08-13-2015 |

20150366374 | MODULAR DISPLAY TOWER - A snap-in card top riser is provided having a riser and a display module. The riser has a hook profile that is adapted to be received into a channel on the display module so that the riser is secured to the display module in a manner that restricts removal of the riser from the display module. The channel has one or more tabs that are configured to cause the hook profile to compress while the tabs are engaging with the hook profile. A modular display tower is also provided that includes a base and one or more vertical display portions that are configurable to display different types of cards, items, and merchandise. The vertical display portions may interchangeably include curved display modules that receive one or more risers, or flat display portions, and the vertical display portions may be joined at respective edges with a bridge coupling. | 12-24-2015 |
20150366375 | SNAP-IN CARD TOP RISER - A snap-in card top riser is provided having a riser and a display module. The riser has a hook profile that is adapted to be received into a channel on the display module so that the riser is secured to the display module in a manner that restricts removal of the riser from the display module. The channel has one or more tabs that are configured to cause the hook profile to compress while the tabs are engaging with the hook profile. The hook profile, once fully received into the channel, returns to an original or uncompressed position to prevent removal of the hook profile from the channel. | 12-24-2015 |
