| 20110227728 | Deterrent Alarm System - The invention relates to a system and method of using a remotely electronically-activated visual, auditory, or transmitted signal to alert persons within close proximity to the visual signal of an emergency situation. In an embodiment of the method of this invention, a visual signal is placed in a location within a structure facing a public area outside of the structure. To operate this system, a person activates an activation mechanism, such as by pushing a button, on a remote transmitter. The remote transmitter then sends an electromagnetic signal, preferably a radio signal, to the receiving antenna of a wireless signal receiver. Upon receiving the electromagnetic signal, the receiving antenna activates a switch that sends electric power from a power source to the visual signal. The electric power activates a light source inside of the visual signal, which lights up a warning message. The visual signal may further comprise an auditory signal, or, by interfacing with a communications system, the visual system may comprise a transmitted signal that relays information about the emergency. | 09-22-2011 |

| 20100085180 | Deceleration Brake Light System - The purpose of the invention is to improve and upgrade the existing automobile brake system. Currently, when a motorist pushes the foot brake in the car to decelerate a Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicator mounted on the trunk and in the rear windows of a vehicle lights up to indicate slowing down and stopping. In most vehicle LED systems, the distinction between a deceleration, hard braking, and a stop cannot be indicated or differentiated. The goal of the invention is to create a braking indication system that will demonstrate how fast a car is decelerating with LED arranged in a fashion to turn on proportional to the amount of pressure applied to the brake. Once pressure is applied, the brakes are applied and the brake light will let the vehicle behind know how quickly the vehicle is slowing down by showing an approximation using the LED display. Therefore if a driver is to lightly tap on his brakes, the brake indicator will light a small amount of LED to symbolize slowing down but not stopping. Adversely, if a driver “slams on the brakes,” an additional complete row of brake lights will illuminate to indicate you need to brake hard or consider an evasive action to avoid collision. | 04-08-2010 |

In a first embodiment, an up/down selection is provided to the player for one or more reels of the spinning reel game that have stopped spinning. The one up/down feature allows the player to move the reel one position up or down to increase the reward level. To assure skill is involved, the available up or down motion for the reel is displayed for a short time prior to when the wheel stops and the player must remember the available state correctly. If the player remembers correctly, the award for the game can be increased. In a second embodiment, a bonus game is provided with the frequency of offer of the bonus game randomly set to assure operator profit while maintaining player interest and enjoyment. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090117988 | SKILL GAME PLAYABLE ON A CASINO SPINNING REEL DISPLAY WITH AN AWARDS TABLE HAVING A VARIABLE PAYOUT LINE AND A METHOD OF CALCULATING AWARDS PROVIDED WITHOUT OPERATOR HOLD SUBTRACTED FROM PLAYER BUY-IN - A skill game that is playable on a casino type display is provided that employs methods to hold a player's interest by dynamically changing an awards table as well as providing payout without subtraction from player buy-in to provide an operator hold. The awards table can include a variable pay line with values changed either before or after start of the skill game to offer the player a variety of possible payouts depending on the game results. In one example, the dynamic pay line is provided as the bottom line in the award table that provides the minimum payout otherwise not available for a combination of spinning reel symbols. To provide payout without subtraction for operator hold from the player buy-in at least one additional line is added to the awards table with a hit frequency (HF) set so that the hit frequency of all award lines totaled 1. The total award amount (AA) that is then paid for each line is then set to maintain an operator hold. With additional pay lines in the awards table that can be dynamically set, a player can choose between different award tables that can provide for preference of award size over award frequency. | 05-07-2009 |

| 20110260422 | Vehicle Suspension System - A structurally efficient vehicle suspension system capable of being isolated from the main vehicle structure by being housed within a vehicle's wheel thereby reducing risks of injury during a crash and permitting advantageous redesign of suspension geometry. By rotating the suspension link pivot axes approximately 90 degrees in a counterclockwise direction when compared with the positioning of traditionally known wishbone suspension systems, the upper and lower suspension links for each vehicle wheel are relocated to run essentially parallel to the axis of travel of that wheel. Consequently, for each wheel the virtual longitudinal link length runs parallel with the axis of travel of the wheel indicated by the arrow and virtual swing axle length runs perpendicularly to virtual longitudinal link length. However, the upper link pivot axis and the lower link pivot axis now run parallel to virtual swing axle and their convergence point defines its length. | 10-27-2011 |
