摘要:
An intelligent current lead device, its design, fabrication, and methods of operation are described in this disclosure. The intelligent current lead device described in this disclosure electrically and thermally connects and disconnects one or more power sources or loads operating at one temperature reservoir with one or more machines or devices operating at either the same or a different temperature reservoir. The intelligent current lead can operate in either an active mode or passive mode. The intelligent current lead device may incorporate the use of multiple types of diagnostic sensors and instrumentation, which can be monitored, interpreted, and analyzed. The program logic of the intelligent current lead may be used to interpret the data obtained from the diagnostic sensors and instrumentation in order to adjust/actuate/switch the current lead so as to optimize its configuration to respond to requirements of an electrical load that changes with time. There are many applications that the intelligent current lead can be used in conjunction with including but not limited to: superconducting magnets, transformers, power cables, energy storage, motors, generators, fault current limiters, circuit breakers, fusion magnets, accelerator magnets, MRI magnets, NMR magnets, induction heaters, magnetic separators, among other applications.

The invention concerns a portable carrying apparatus (100) and a method (800) of the operation thereof. In one arrangement, the portable carrying apparatus can include a holding device (104) and a clip (106). The holding device can be made of a material that is capable of transmitting light. A light source (302) can be activated by an activation device (410) to illuminate the holding device in the occurrence of an event. The method can also include configuring the duration as well as a sequence of illumination of the light source, depending on the event that takes place.
摘要:
A video game system (100) includes one or more game carousels (101), one or more physical game media (118), and one or more game consoles (112). The game carousel (101) is capable of holding one or more game media (118). The game console (112) wirelessly requests, from the game carousel (101), access to game code associated with a game media (118). If the game media (118) is physically present in, or in communication with, the game carousel (101), access is granted and at least a portion of the game code is wirelessly transmitted from the game carousel (101) to the game console (112). Once the game media (118) is removed from, or stops communication with, the game carousel (101), or if the game carousel (101) and game console (112) stop communication with each other, game play is terminated at the game console (112).
摘要:
A system includes a wireless device (101) and at least one stimulator pad (400, 500). The stimulator pad (400, 500) has a set of electrodes (404) that are in communication with the wireless device (101). The stimulator pad (400, 500) is worn on the skin of a user. The wireless device (101) is operable to receive an incoming signal and to place an electric potential on the conductors (404) so that various areas of the user's body are stimulated and the user will receive notification of the incoming signal in a completely silent manner. The pad (400) can be either wired or wireless and can be used to deliver therapeutic body stimulation as well. In another embodiment, the wireless device (101) controls at least one stimulator pad (400, 500) independent of any incoming signal received.
