Title: Remotely activated tank hatch system
Inventor: TREJO SAL
IPC: B60P3/22
Filed: 2005-01-24
Abstract: A remotely activated tank hatch system is provided. The hatch system may include a frame that may comprise an upper frame and a lower frame that are joined by a hinge assembly. The lower frame is coupled to a collar of an opening of a tank and the hatch is coupled to the upper frame. The hinge assembly allows the upper frame to pivot the hatch between an open and closed position relative to the opening, The frame may also include at least one catch that is intended to receive an edge of the hatch, when the hatch is closed.

Inventor: DURRELL ANTHONY
IPC: A61B5/16
Filed: 2003-09-26
Abstract: A system and method that allows a person to comprehensively and non-verbally express their present, past and anticipated future emotional responses regarding all aspects of their life including relationships, work, study, memories and experiences. The system relies on a method wherein the person can graphically represent their mood state by depicting the proportion that each of a number of primary moods contributes to the mood state for any nominated aspect of their life. The system provides some guidance regarding healthy and unhealthy mixes of these primary moods thereby allowing early identification of vulnerable mood states which without intervention may progress to mood disorders. In a clinical setting, the invention may be valuable in monitoring treatment response, sub-typing mood related diagnoses, measuring therapist-patient empathy, establishing treatment goals and as a therapeutic tool in emotionally focussed psychotherapy. The method can be performed using and electronic device, such as a computer, running appropriate software.

Abstract: A pair of devices of this invention are installed on a wheel inside a tire.  Each device has a vacuum chamber, a hyper-pressure chamber and an alternator and they are driven by the pressing force of the ground when the time rolls. An electronic controller gathers data from various sensors, processes them, controls all parts properly and wirelessly communicates with the central unit in the room of a vehicle. A driver can monitor the states of all the tires and set predefined modes related to the tire pressure through that one.  The vacuum chamber's swift return can let the deflate instantaneously and the hyper-pressure chamber's rapid spout can let the tire inflate instantaneously. Accordingly, not only human intervention to change the tire pressure is not needed for the lifetime of the tire, but also the tire pressure instantaneously optimizes for the load and the speed of a vehicle or to best cope with an abrupt exterior situation.
