This is a unique new approach for Voltage References, not based on zener or bandgap use, that can be built using Bipolar, JFET, or MOS process technologies. The voltage output level is determined by the ratio of resistors, capacitors or inductors. Absolute part values, transistor gain,
This sensor differentiates between most ferrous and nonferrous metals, therefore identifying the potential for hazardous sparking tools without subjecting them to a common test - the grinding wheel. Nonferrous metals are considered "Non-sparking," “spark reduced,” "spark-resistant" or "spark-proof.
This system will help in slowing down a hijacked marine vessel escaping from authorities. The simple theory behind this invention is based on using the dynamic principle of “Impulse and Momentum.”
This system can be deployed by an aircraft or a ship in pursuit of a target vessel.
InvisiTower is a persistent, rapidly deployable aerial platform for surveillance and communications. It consists of a small unmanned aerial vehicle that is connected by a tether to a power source on the ground. The platform can remain aloft and stationary indefinitely, carrying a payload of cameras, sensors,

WhalePower is in the process of developing a range of new, more efficient fans for computer cooling. Our corporation holds the patent to develop new fans, turbines, pumps and compressors improved by a unique blade shape, enhanced by bumps on the leading edges of the rotor blades called "tubercles.
What with this Hydrogen production and use, its all very well having no fuel bills to worry about, Hyperspace travel (does anyone know how to steer in hyperspace under rocket power?) and saving the Earth as we go about it, but as we all know, Hydrogen is dangerous stuff.
Cutting of stencils on mylar, paper,or plastic sheets for artwork is usually by Exacto knives, or by modified soldering irons. In this idea,
The Solar Energy Collection and Transfer Satellite uses a system of EMBs (Electro-Mechanical Batteries, Figure 1) to store energy collected by solar panels located on the satellite. EMBs store energy through spinning a composite flywheel with an electric motor, which is incorporated into the battery.
Consists of LED array and driver circuit that uses novel idea to lower power usage over standard LED lamps, simplifies manufacturing, can be applied to medical theraphy LED lamps in all its light spectrum, can be applied to several lighting products,
