A plurality of orbiting solar generators stay in constant touch. They can be congregated rapidly in space at any desired secret location. Once congregated they all discharge their energy to a death star. A laser generator uses this newly acquired energy on the death star to project a non-nuclear laser ray to a target. In peacetime the orbiting solar generators could supply electric power to an earth based power grid.

Rick created the design patent for these shapes. Each of these custom designed keys are made of a high quality brass base, then printed with hi-resolution printing equipment and sprayed with a hardened clear UV coat finish that shines and protects. See Guitar shaped keys website"

A forward water propelled hover board comprising a rigid board having greater length than width. The rigid board having a rear end with a high pressure water outlet nozzle and a central pipe connecting a water hose inlet, wherein the outlet nozzle when fed with a high pressure water source from the water hose inlet provides a forward thrust to the water propelled hover board.

Another design patent by Rick. The ShoulderDolly “Makes Lifting Easier” for anyone who needs to move anything big, bulky or heavy. It’s great for moving furniture and appliances.Designed to maintain ergonomic upright positions while moving heavy objects, the patented lifting system uses the strength of your legs and shoulders to lift and move the objects.

A rug cleaning head for a traditional rug cleaning application machine is improved. The spray apparatus remains prior art. The vacuum components on the underside of the cleaning head are improved with a focusing diverter arm or a pair of arms forming a “V”. The arm or arms direct the wash water into a reduced size (about a one inch slot) vacuum inlet.

A water propelled flying board has a left and a right thrust nozzle. Each thrust nozzle has a knuckle joint attachment to a pressure water manifold. The thrust nozzles can be independently swiveled forward, backward, sideways or other directions relative to the rider. A left foot and a right foot platform are independently secured to the respective nozzle inlet to allow the rider to go toe up or toe down, they can rotate 360 degrees independently with each foot. This enables trick flying maneuvers including spinning like a top.

This is a Universal Unattended Coupler lock from a product line of very reliable locking devices. These locks provide multi-layer security systems including mechanical and electronic protections. See website

Cylindrical cooking container having off-center spit holes.

A video camera could be mounted on a table, such as for reading applications, but preferably mounted on an eyeglass frame, capture an area of regard (AR). This AR is sent to a computer which directs a projector (such as a MEMS projector) to direct the AR using his healthy area of his retina. Reading enhancement software such as Spritz® can be integrated into the computer to display the enhanced text onto the PRL.

A method and apparatus forming an efficient and compact waveguide feed with all components for processing signals in multi-frequency band antenna feeds with single/dual linear/circular polarizations with/without tracking. This layout results in a very compact feed, which has excellent electrical characteristics, is mechanically robust, eliminates flange connections between components, and is very cost effective.

A System and Method for Low Signal Knife Edge Wavefront Sensing in an Adaptive Optical System to provide measurement and compensation of aberrations induced by propagation through an optical system and through a turbulent medium to a target.

A rubber heat pad is integrated into a fiberglass fiber insulator to form a heater blanket for a diesel fuel filter and other truck components. A controller monitors ambient temperatures and pad temperatures and the battery flow state. If it is cold, and the battery has available power, then a heat pad(s) is turned ON. When the pad(s) gets too hot, then it is turned OFF by the controller. Truck park mode allows AC power. On the road use triggers an inverter to supply AC to the pads.

A lightning termination preventer (LTP) system to prevent the termination of a lightning stroke within a protected area is disclosed. The LTP system may comprise one or more ionizer arrays located above a protected area. The ionizer arrays are electrically connected to a grounding system and may comprise an essentially flat surface with a plurality of vertical ionizer protrusions. The ionizer protrusions may comprise a blunt distal end. The ionizer arrays may comprise a variety of shapes and may also comprise a short skirt.

A standard ceiling recessed lighting fixture can be modified to a low-slung AC or DC light fixture with a screw-in extension rod. The extension rod with bulb can be used to light a restaurant table or a pool table or a workbench and the like. A series of extension rods can be screwed together for a desired length.

A rugged terrain robot (RTR) apparatus can function as a reconnaissance robot to optimize safety of search or rescue personnel. Remote control places the RTR in either a rolling mode or in a stair-climbing mode. Remote feedback is provided by an on-board RTR camera and microphone. The RTR is remote controllable and easily transported to a reconnaissance area.

The present invention utilizes integrated software and hardware apparatus to identify, track and report tax-deductible vehicle travel routes including actual mileage, stops and routes driven. Global Positioning Systems (GPS) equipment is used in conjunction with mapping and/or reporting software to display and/or report mileage and vehicle use for tax or reimbursement purposes. Vehicle owners can select mobile units, batch processing, wireless or hard wire mobile unit data downloading.

A foil wing for creating lift force on snowboards and skis is disclosed. By use of this invention on skis or snowboards, the act of translating through powder creates the necessary lift force on the leading end and down force on the aft end that is required to stay afloat in powder. The snow wing generates lift upon need when the snow gets deep enough. Therefore, the rider is kept afloat in unforeseen loose-snow areas, carrying him safely over and out.
