20120071130 | Emergency call from a cell phone - The invention provides a portable communications apparatus which is useful for reporting positional status report to a user-selected recipient(s). Using a global-positioning-receiver (i.e. GPS) to generate a location indicia of the portable communications apparatus, and a pre-defined user-generated message with at least one user-defined recipient, the apparatus, when activated by the user, sends the user-defined message, together with the location information, to the user-defined recipient. This information is useful for alerting the recipient of the user's location or to notify the recipient that assistance is needed. | 03-22-2012 |
20120295590 | Advanced social networking - A networking system which employs a central computer and at least one cellular telephone. The system allows the central computer to, in response to an inquiry from a remote user, to place the inquiry accessible to other users and to communicate an alert message to another remote user via a cellular telephone associated this user. Due to these contacts, the central computer receives a response from the user of the cellular telephone. | 11-22-2012 |
20140302831 | Advanced social networking - A networking system which employs a central computer and at least one cellular telephone. The system allows the central computer to, in response to an inquiry from a remote user, to place the inquiry accessible to other users and to communicate an alert message to another remote user via a cellular telephone associated this user. Due to these contacts, the central computer receives a response from the user of the cellular telephone. | 10-09-2014 |

20100017623 | Executable software security system - A computer system which is configured to load executable programs. This configuration first accepts an operator defined key; withdraws an encrypted executable program from memory; and, using the operator defined key, decrypts the encrypted executable program into a functional executable program. It is this functional executable program which is used by the processing unit. During shutdown, each executable program is checked to see if it was derived from an encrypted executable program; those that aren't, are verified as being legitimate by the operator prior to their storage into the memory. | 01-21-2010 |
20120286089 | Strain reduction on a balloon system in extreme weather conditions - The subject matter described herein relates to strain reduction on a balloon system in extreme weather conditions. The strain reduction is achieved by using an elastic bungee between a balloon and the tether attached to the balloon. As wind pushes on the balloon, immediate pressure caused by the wind is cushioned on the elastic bungee rather than on the balloon or the tether, thereby reducing immediate force and tension on either the balloon or the tether. Thus, the balloon system that includes the balloon and the tether is protected from damage that can possibly be caused by tension due to pressure. | 11-15-2012 |
20120286623 | Atmospheric Energy Collection - The subject matter described herein is an atmospheric energy collector. The atmospheric energy collector includes of a windsock arrangement that has a large up-wind opening on one side and that tapers from the larger up-wind opening on the one side to a small down-wind opening on the other side. The up-wind side is secured to a tether such that an electrically conducting material (e.g. metal) included in construction of the atmospheric energy collector is connected to the tether. The windsock arrangement is extended outwards by wind and the like atmospheric conditions such that the electrically conducting material collects the atmospheric energy and transfers the collected energy to the tether. | 11-15-2012 |
