20100095569Pre-Printed Sticky Notes and Methods of Use to Send Messages or Expressions, Decorate, Provide Interactive Learning or Playing Environments, and for Scrapbook and Calendar Uses. - This invention is directed toward packs, pads, sheets or rolls of repositionable and reusable sticky notes that are pre-printed with one or more themes, thereby enabling a user of the invention to decorate a home, office, or other structure with the sticky notes to convey a message or expression. The sticky notes are complied in the traditional fashion, with each note having a portion near the top, side, center or bottom or all over if on a roll or sheet which has removable, semi-sticky glue which allows it to stick to a wall. Because the sticky notes are easily removed from the pack, and are pre-printed with the desired message, they are easily placed in large or small quantities on a mirror, wall, floor, ceiling, car, seat, file folder, scrapbook or other hard or soft surface in a decorative manner to send a bold message.04-22-2010

20110285123Pre-Printed Sticky Notes and Methods of Use - Pre-printed sticky notes that are pre-printed with one or more messages, thereby enabling a user of the invention to decorate a home, office, or other structure or object with the sticky notes to convey a message or expression without writing the message herself. Because the notes are all printed with messages, a user of the invention can easily and rapidly place one, some or many such notes on the wall, object, or any other surface so as to decorate it, thereby sending a “loud” message or expression to the intended recipient. The user can also use a single sticky note, or larger amounts of the pre-printed sticky notes, to convey a message in a greeting card, letter, scrapbook, photo album, etc.11-24-2011

20100064532Chain saw 3D relative positional monitoring and anti-kickback actuation system - A system effectuates increased cutting device safety through rapid detection of abrupt motion of the device, and/or the proximity of the device cutting elements in relation to its operator. An signal processor receives, generates and processes signals from multidimensional relative distances measurement module(s) and adjusts an electro-mechanical interface with the cutting device drive and/or power mechanism as well as actuators to counteract dangerous movements of the chainsaw. Distance measurement modules resident on the user may be spatially dispersed to protect multiple areas of potential interaction between device and operator. The signal processor receives and processes the sensor signals, determines motion and proximity measurements, compares the measurements to predetermined and set thresholds, and effectuates device interruption should thresholds be reached. The signal processor contains a signal processing algorithm which accounts for noise and invalid sensor measurements such as those made due to some external object physically disrupting proximity sensor-pair measurements. The system also records on nonvolatile medium chainsaw usage parameters for later diagnosis and analysis. The system also includes secondary relative distance measurement modules to be incorporated into an apparatus worn by a second party assisting the chainsaw user. The system also includes secondary accelerometers and proximity sensors as a back up measurement means.03-18-2010
20110093262Active voice cancellation mask - A method and apparatus for transmitting a clear voice signal while effectuating speech privacy and unobtrusiveness through adaptive signal processing; includes a voice input microphone, an electrical line for transmitting representations of the received voice signal from the microphone and having three modulators in it, actuators or speakers spherically disposed about the microphone and incorporated into a mask for creating sound canceling the ambient spatial transmission of the voice inputted into the microphone. The method and apparatus includes means to measure performance, re-introduce user's speech into the earpiece, reduced volume storage, and means to compensate for temperature dependencies. Cancellation actuators or speakers can be incorporated into said mask at various points including the interior mask surface, within the mask structure itself as well as on the exterior surface of the mask.04-21-2011
