20140238342 | RIM FIRE SPARKING GASKET - The sparking gasket amalgamates two traditional parts of the internal combustion engine into one unit by replacing the spark plug with electrode circuitry embedded into the gasket material. This system provides reduced hydrocarbon emissions by improving combustion thus giving a cleaner burn with increased fuel economy and improved engine performance. The new materials being used have greatly increased gasket life by reducing material deterioration and insulation breakdown that lead to engine failure. Further improvements in electrode design, materials and positioning have led to improved efficiency gains. In this design the electrode circuitry is fused between two material wafers thus encapsulating it in one solid bonded unit. | 08-28-2014 |

20100316209 | COMMUNICATION ACCEPTANCE TIME EXTENDER - A communication system allows a receiving party to request additional time to accept a communication. A telecommunications device of a receiving party detects when the receiving party has indicated a desire for an extended period of time in which to accept an incoming communication.
