20080260548 | Wave energy converter - A stationary structure is mounted on the floor of an ocean or other body of water subject to wave motion. The structure provides a floatation body that moves with the waves and is able to drive a sealing plate in a compression chamber. When the water level changes, or wave action magnitude changes, a second sealing plate is able to move automatically to maintain a constant size of the compression chamber. Air compressed in the chamber is let into a tank to maintain a constant elevated pressure in the tank and the air pressure is used to power a turbine to generate electricity. In an alternate embodiment, a mechanical linkage drives the turbine directly. | 10-23-2008 |
20080317369 | Digital video filter and image processing - An apparatus for video digital color pixel filtering and digital image processing that eliminates the need for Furrier Transforms, thus eliminating time-consuming multiplication and additions. It utilizes a new distributed computer architecture that operates in conjunction with First In First Out memories, utilizing simple software for each processor to minimize latency issues of real time interactive digital image processing. The distributed processing architecture is set up to operate in a manner similar to factory assembly lines, wherein FIFO's carry semi processed data from one processor to another. A unique memory based system is used to measure motion vectors including distances and rotational vectors, of moving objects moving in a six degree of freedom. | 12-25-2008 |
20100244451 | Ocean wave energy to electricity generator - A stationary structure comprising a frame supported by an ocean surface and a subsurface buoyant body while extending above the ocean surface, the frame supporting a buoyant body floating on the ocean surface and freely riding on the frame according to the ocean wave motion. The floatation body that moves with the waves and the linear motion of the waves are translated to rotational motion to energize a generator. When the water level changes, the generator and the associated mechanical and electrical to structure is automatically adjusted to maintain the effectiveness of the system. | 09-30-2010 |
20100245634 | Hardware implemented pixel level digital filter and processing of electromagnetic signals - An apparatus for performing digital video processing of electromagnetic waves in IR or other electromagnetic waves spectra; derived from adjacent or separate bands (or sub-bands) representing a channel of electromagnetic wave intensities; that is processed for equipment radiometric corrections (calibration), adverse environmental elements or substance calibrations, channel filtering in real time and dynamic pixel to pixel time. | 09-30-2010 |
20110256914 | Interactive games with prediction and plan with assisted learning method - A method for engaging a player or a pair of players in a motion related game including the steps of attaching plural geometrical colored elements onto selected portions of the player(s) garments and processing a video stream of each of the players to separately identify the positions, velocities an accelerations of the colored elements. The method further comprises generation of a combatant competitor image and moving the image in a manor to overcome the player. In a further approach, two players are recorded and their video images are presented one screens frontal to the other of the players. The same colored elements are used to enable controller calculations of fighting proficiency of the players and enable assisted learning. | 10-20-2011 |
20120074702 | Appratus generating electricity to marine vehicle - An apparatus for producing electrical usable energy to be deployed on a solid ground or on a vessel while the vessel is in stationary position or in motion, moving from one place to another. The apparatus converts two or three dimensional reciprocating linear mechanical motions into rotational motion and thus electricity. The apparatus comprising of an energy converter part and plurality of energy capturing part that absorbs two or three dimensional linear mechanical motions power of ocean water and converts it to electricity. | 03-29-2012 |
