Title: Systems and apparatuses for cooling a vacuum device
Inventor: WILLIAMS MATTHEW A
IPC: A47L7/04
Filed: 2014-04-02
Abstract: Applicants have created vacuum systems and apparatuses for cooling a vacuum device. The apparatus can include a cooling device adapted to couple with a vacuum device, at least one cooling device air inlet, and a cooling device outlet. The air flows from the air inlets to the air outlet and combines with air disposed within the vacuum device. The system can include the cooling device, a vacuum housing, and a vacuum interface such that air flowing from the air inlets to the outlet flows from the vacuum interface to the vacuum housing biased with a negative pressure area. As a result, the air originating from the air inlets cools the air disposed within the vacuum housing upon mixing and the vacuum device cools, thus increasing the vacuum device's performance. Furthermore, heat transfer from the vacuum device to an operator reduces, thus improving the productivity and comfort of the operator.

Abstract: The abstract is about child and pet protection child protection have been developed with the main theme to prevent accidental child death from occurring when the parents forgets to take a child or pet from back seat while going to mall for shopping or stepping out of the car for any other reason. The system have been designed to incorporate facial detection algorithm using Intel's OCV SDK, the system compares the basic facial parts (eyes, nose, lips, and face) with the 3:1 ration of other objects and provides results in terms of face detected or not. The system is installed in the vehicle with the help of web cam and the cigarette lighter switch which receives the trigger when the automobile is turned on, the moment the car switch is turned off the system receives its final set off to analyze the picture being obtained from the webcam and report to the driver about the child or pet being seated at the back seat via audio message as well as mobile sms. Also, we will add another feature to call parents and 911 after 20 min incase parents don't respond to calls. This informs the driver about the child or the pet on the back seat of the vehicle and thus saves the child or pet. This device becomes a life savior for parents, who would like to protect their kids and pets in an event where they fail to remember their kids or pets on the back seat of their vehicle in very hot or very cold weather.
