Electronic
Image Display Systems
An electronic image display system
that provides a wall-mounted television/electronic display.
Dual display screens are oriented back-to-back such that one
display screen is visible in a first room and one display
screen is visible in an adjacent room. The invention
provides theft-resistance and provides built-in content
monitoring and parental control options. |

Waste Oil
Electrical Generation Systems
An on-site electrical power generation system
utilizing environmentally hazardous waste oils as a
combustible fuel. The disclosed invention utilizes
environmentally hazardous waste oils generated by one or
more on-site processes, such as, for example, by the
maintenance of transportation vehicles. In addition, the
system is adapted to provide local space heating and hot
water as a byproduct of the combustion process.

Battery
Filling System
A battery filling system for use in
efficiently adding water to, for example, those lead-acid
batteries which are located in inconvenient or hard-to-reach
places. The battery filling system includes a first flexible
tube for use in transferring distilled water from the
interior of a water-filled vessel to the hard-to-reach cell
of a lead-acid battery. A second flexible tube transfers
pressurized air from an external pressurized air source
(typically human lungs) to the interior of the vessel in a
quantity sufficient to cause the water to advance into and
fill the first tube. A cap is used to snugly attach both
tubes to the vessel. A means is also provided to minimize
loss of air pressure from the vessel.

Charging
Monitoring Systems
An electronic system for the continuous
monitoring of voltage charge within the electrical system of
a motor vehicle having an electrical generation source and a
secondary electrochemical cell or battery. The system
comprises a programmable in-vehicle monitor having a
flashing LED indicator that alerts the vehicle operator of
the condition of the electrical system. An example of the
invention comprises a plug-in housing for use in a vehicle
accessory-power-socket. Additionally, a method of market
distribution is disclosed.

Infrared Location
System
An improved IR detector system is described
which uses a plurality of IR detection modules coupled to a
central computer to determine the location of an intrusion
to the system. Each IR detection module has a plurality of
optically isolated lens and detector pairs arranged in an
arcuate array coupled to a local microprocessor chip which
is unique to that module such that each lens and detector
pair produces a response to a sensed intrusion along a
particular radial of the array's arc to allow the local
microprocessor to produce a coded signal to the central
computer which corresponds to the direction of the sensed
intrusion. Using a triangulation algorithm, the central
computer combines the coded signals from whichever of the
plurality of IR detection modules are active to compute the
location of the intrusion.
