20100289738 | Stone, Portable Hand Held Device for Inputting Characters Into a Computer, Cell Phone, or any Programmable Device - This is an input devices that allows any type of character to be quickly and easily entered into any computing device with one hand, while being held by the same hand. The characters are arranged in arrays that can be displayed in a format of rows and columns. The user maneuvers the cursor through the tables using wheel type directional switches that can index continuously if desired. Normally, the thumb moves one wheel, or a ball, which can move the cursor over both rows and columns, and the index finger moves the other wheel or ball which changes the characters in the rows or columns allowing access to an unlimited number of characters. When the user arrives at the desired character, a switch controlled by one of the other fingers on the same hand then enters that character into the device. Double clicking, or pressing the switch quickly twice can make necessary adjustments to the character as desired, such as capitalizing a letter, or adding an umlaut. This device can also be used for accessing window style icons allowing the user to navigate through the operating system. | 11-18-2010 |

20140221779 | Dream Enhancement Apparatus and Method - Dream stage enhancement uses a headband with EEG-EOG sensors, onboard processors, memory, coarse and fine time REM waveform detection modules, LEDs and an audio playback unit. After normalization to the user's EEG waveforms, the user's EEG-EOG signals are processed, REM and NREM stages detected and light, sound or AV stimuli are presented to the user based upon user-supplied light-sound-AV stimuli commands. To provide a reality check control (“RCC”), the head unit has a user actuatable RC interface whereby during sleep, RC stimuli are presented when the user depresses the RCC control which plays back the user supplied stimulus. In a “learning mode,” the user selects “Recall” or “No Recall” (“NR”) after the sleep period. If NR, then the system changes the color of light stimuli, light intensity, flash, audio sound type, audio intensity, and AV. If “Recall” the user supplied stimuli commands are carried out. | 08-07-2014 |

20110270572 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CALCULATING THE DENSITY OF CONCRETE BLOCKS - A device for calculating the density of blocks includes a block manufacturing machine. In the block manufacturing machine, blocks are formed on a pallet. The weight of the empty pallet is known and the weight of the pallet after being loaded with blocks is measured. The length and width of each block is known form the block mold. However, the height of each block is measure, preferably by a laser height measuring station. From the known quantities, the volume and total weight of the blocks on the pallet are known. From these measurements, the density can be calculated to ensure that a minimum density of the blocks is maintained. | 11-03-2011 |
