Abstract:
This invention is a Method and apparatus for converting centrifugal energy stored during normal rotation of a crank shaft or fly wheel, to a sudden angular acceleration, which is useful to attain sudden boost in speed, especially in high performance racing automotives. This phenomenon is achieved by converting centrifdgal energy stored in certain controlled floating weights inside tubular cavities machined into the arms of crank shaft or in the flywheels in such a manner that certain fluid pressure activated through controlled valves exerts pressure which moves the weights towards the center of the axis of rotation, thereby creating sudden angular acceleration of the crank shaft. This conversion of centrifugal energy, which is stored in certain elements during normal rotation of crank shaft or flywheel is harnessed when it is absolutely needed, such as during the end of a victory lap of a racing automotive.
Abstract:
This portable self adjusting modular levee system is ideal for protecting Nuclear Reactors, Cities close to sea level and adjacent to rivers of high and unpredictable cresting. The system consists of a base channel and a floater section fabricated or otherwise made with material such as steel, fiber, Aluminum or resin, harnesses the hydro-static pressure of the water, stabilizing the base and extending the floater assembly vertically to create adjustable levee of desired height in order to reach maximum cresting. Each modular unit is attached in a linear fashion to a complimentary unit at certain angle or straight at site in order to create a continuous sealed variable levee system of any desired length and configuration along river banks, high cresting and potential body of water. During normal conditions this levee system call be used as a road along such bank.

A mechanism for preventing injury to a person's or child's hand when a door (12) slams against a door frame or jamb. The mechanism comprises a casing (18) positioned within a hollowed-out portion of the door (12). The casing (18) is constructed with an opening (18a) disposed along the edge (12a) of the door (12). A metallic pendulum (20) is housed and suspended within the casing such that the pendulum (20) to swing outwardly through the opening. A raised metal body (14) is attached to the slide molding of the door frame or jamb and engages the outwardly swung pendulum (20) to prevent the door from completely closing.

Abstract:
This self correcting smart ball, typically a golf ball, overcomes certain sudden and unanticipated conditions or disturbance during play such as wind gust, drags, bump, debris, divides etc. during flight or roll on the surface (green), as faced by players, essentially taking the expertise out of the game and making the game more on a chance basis. This is achieved by separating the inner core, which absorbs the energy, momentum, direction and spins during the impact of ball and the club, and outer shell by a layer of fluid of certain viscosity, which act as an element to transfer energy, to and from the outer shell to the inner core, as needed, in order to perform what it is supposed to perform. This separation of the shell and core essentially immunes the ball from unanticipated disturbances thereby taking the uncertainty and chance out of the game.
Abstract:
This Safety Device, which is intended for the safety of children, private citizen and law enforcement personnel, is a retrofit able Trigger Guard Assembly, which is attached to any existing handgun or firearm under the muzzle in front of the trigger guard, to prevent accidental or unauthorized discharge. The mechanism operates on gravity and levers or certain electro-mechanical mechanism and sensors, extends guard plates on both side of the trigger assembly, thereby making the firearm inoperable. As the gun is pointed downward or the authorized hand is at certain distance from the handgun the retractable guards extends and the mechanism is locked. The lock is released only if the firearm is; leveled, or the bio metrics of the user is matched, or the authorized hand is at a certain distance from the handgun, or certain digital/mechanical combination entered, and matches the data in the memory of the assembly.
Abstract:
A retrofit able Trigger Guard assembly is the invented embodiment, which is attached permanently to an existing firearm or can be integrated to any firearm during manufacturing. This assembly is attached permanently under the muzzle of any firearm, typically a hand gun. In general, the invented mechanism operates under the force of gravity and certain relevant lever action extends guard plates on both side of the trigger assembly, thereby making it in operable. The guard plates are extended over the trigger guard of the firearm as soon as the gun is pointed downward. This mechanism is locked inside the assembly by an electrical miniature solenoid, which release the lock in order to facilitate the retraction only if the firearm is leveled and the bio metrics of the user matches the pre stored finger prints in the memory of the assembly, therefore, only authorized user can activate the trigger.
