Title: Real-time technique for reducing the settling time of a high pass filter
Inventor: CHICKERING JAMES MICHAEL
IPC: H03H17/02
Filed: 1999-11-22
Abstract: A technique for resetting an HPF for improving its settling time in response  to a sharp transition in its input signal, by rapid input and clocking throu gh the HPF of new data samples after occurrence of the sharp transition. The ne w data samples comprise an artifical ramp representative of the expected avera ge slope of the input signal that should be maintained after occurence of the sharp transition. The artificial ramp can be generated using "a priori" knowledge of the expected average slope of the input signal, or alternativel y, can be generated using a direct measurement of the slope of the input signal  at the time the HPF is to be reset. In the event that both the direct slope measurement and "a priori" slope knowledge are available at the time the HPF  is to be reset, and they differ from each other, it is desirable to generate  an artificial ramp whose slope provides a smoothed transition from the latte r slope measurement to the former slope.

Abstract: In the modem fast paced world where every human is overloaded with stress linked to his social environment, workplace, family and basic survival it is natural for any person to be forgetful. Being preoccupied with multifaceted problems one can easily misplace, forget or loose his or her purse or some important document that he/she is carrying to a meeting place or at a shopping center or a restaurant. Added to this are the cases of many missing children and Seniors daily worldwide. It is quite common to notice such an occurrence in everyday life. A loss of a valuable could deeply affect its owner or a group of people or for that matter an entire Company or a Country and it's after affects could lead to financial or emotional ruin. Only the one who loses knows the true importance of a lost personal belonging. In my system named as "Individual Protection System" an affordable means to prevent or greatly reduce any loss of personal belongings has been developed.      General Theme of the System:      Name Individual Protection System General Idea It would consist of a transmitter and a receiver, which would be in continuous link/contact with each other. If one of these is removed from the near vicinity of the other then there would be an immediate audio-visual alarm to the owner warning him/her immediately about the misplaced or forgotten article so that it can be retrieved in-situ. In the future with the development of the global positioning systems lost items large or small including missing children or vehicles could be easily traced and returned to the owner's in the shortest possible time.

Title: Seatco
Inventor: YENOVKIAN BERJ
IPC: E05F1/12
Filed: 2002-04-17
Abstract: It is a well known fact that a toilet seat must be raised or lowered manually. When it is raised, it will stay in a raised position unless someone lowers it by hand. Similarly, when it is lowered, it will stay in a lowered position unless someone raises it by hand. In this invention, a strong spring at the base of the seat will always keep the seat in a raised position. It can be lowered manually for seating, but automatically will be raised as soon as the person sitting on it stands up. As a result, the toilet seat always will be clean, free of smears, without traces of urine after a male uses the toilet for urination. This will enhance the hygienic use of all toilet seats, specifically in public washrooms.
