Title: Electronic lock box system and method for its use
Inventor: FISHER SCOTT R
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2003-06-05
Abstract: An improved electronic lock system is provided for use with real estate lock boxes where there is the need for many people to access the secured compartment of the lock box in a controlled manner. Each user has an identification card with a non-volatil e secure memory (known as a "smart card"), for exchanging data with the lock box, and with a portable computer capable of reading data from the smart card; or a cell phone can be used to gain access information from a central computer. The user first inserts the smart card into the connector attached to the lock box; the lock box reads the user's ID stored in the smart card memory and records this information in lock box memory. The lock box then transfers its access code information and other data to the smart card for further processing. The user then inserts the smart card in a portable card reader to learn the access code, or calls a central computer via a mobile phone system and interacts with the computer to elicit the necessary access code information. The access code is then manually keyed into the loc k box keypad by the user to obtain access to the secure compartment. Other modes of operation include an "access token mode" and a "card only mode."

Filed: 2003-12-31
Abstract: An apparatus having an engine-driven generator wherein the fuel tank, engine, air cleaner, muffler and battery are arranged in accordance with a space-saving design, and the size of the fuel tank is maximized. This is accomplished in part by placing the fuel tank and muffler at different elevations, so that the muffler does not limit the footprint of the fuel tank. In particular, the fuel tank is supported at an elevation above the engine, while the muffler is attached to and disposed on one side of the engine. The muffler occupies a space located between the battery and the air cleaner. The muffler outlet is disposed at an elevation lower than the elevation of the engine exhaust port.

Filed: 2002-07-23
Abstract: A control system (20) for a power converter (22) designed to convert DC powe r from a source (30) such as a battery, flywheel or fuel cell into AC power. T he control system includes an impedance current regulator (106) for providing a n impedance current signal to a summing unit (110) where it may be combined wi th real and reactive current command signals provided from respective sources (62, 64). The resultant current signal provided by the summing unit is provided to a voltage correction unit (112) that uses the resultant current signal in developing a correction voltage signal provided to the power converter. The correction voltage signal contains information used by the power converter in adjusting the real and reactive currents in its output AC power based on the ability of the AC power network to accept changes in current. Multiple power converters having the control system of the present invention may be connected in parallel to a single AC load or multiple AC loads, without the need for a separate control system interconnecting the power converters. The control system may be advantageously incorporated into a distributed generation network and in uninterruptible power systems, whether or not such systems are included in a distributed generation network.</SDOAB >

Abstract: The preservation of meat products is accomplished utilizing a combination of smoke, ozone and freezing preservation techniques. Particularly, fish products are sized into portions that are first treated with smoke, followed by treatment with ozone and then optionally frozen. The preservation system extends the shelf life of the fish products and permits the fish to maintain its freshness and freedom from bacterial decomposition for a longer period of time following catch. The preservation process further maintains the characteristics of day caught fish, such as taste, texture and color, making the refreshed fish products produced by the present system more appealing to consumers.
