20110290247 | METHODS AND DEVICES FOR RESCUING A DISTRESSED DIVER - The invention discloses devices and methods for identifying a diver in distress and initiating a rescue response. Specifically, embodiments of the present invention allow for identification of a diver who is not breathing properly and in response giving local stimuli to allow the diver to response. Should he/she not respond, the instant invention will initiate steps to bring the diver back to the water surface and alert others as to his/her need of assistance. | 12-01-2011 |
20110304145 | METHODS AND DEVICES FOR CONVERTING WAVE ENERGY INTO ROTATIONAL ENERGY - The invention discloses devices and methods for converting wave energy to rotational energy. Specifically, the invention allows for two or more flotation elements to move in opposite directions in response to a wave contacting a wave energy transducer according to embodiments of the present invention. Motion of the flotation elements leads to rotation of associated wheel assemblies, thus allowing for generation of rotational energy and by extension, electricity. | 12-15-2011 |
