A washable, rechargeable electronic candle, with peripheral elements and a charging system. The electronic candle module is provided with a hermetically closed switch, hermetic charging pad elements and seal between a translucent flame cover. An electronic lighting source is visibly contained within the flame cover and is preferably comprised of multiple spaced apart light sources such as of LED lighting elements in a configuration to thereby create a three-dimensional flame appearance. The flame cover is sized to protect the light sources and to provide light diffusion of the lighting source in the configuration of an ovate candle flame. In addition, an opaque element is provided on the candle body, just below the level of the lighting source to provide an emulative effect of a darkened wick section of a candle. Included is a modular electronic candle emulation system with interchangeable candle modules, charger, shade, decorative bases, and fragrance holders.

A Product Actuation Demonstration System (PADS) is powered from a product to which it is connected. The PADS includes a control module and an image storage module where the control module includes a local power generator which ensures that the power delivery capabilities of the product to be demonstrated are not exceeded while the power requirements of the control module and the image storage module are met.

Printer powered printer driver

A wax candle simulation device with random flicker electric circuitry, comprising at least two miniature light bulbs mechanically vertically closely arranged with the filaments therein arranged at an angle. The bulbs are contained within a flame shaped translucent housing and are connected to an electrical circuitry comprising two transistors, with one driving the other (inverter) with an external control and a switch between them set by resistor values. Additional resistors slow down light bulb shut down and the filaments are constantly pre-heated with a slow cool down, whereby the transition between the lighting of the light bulbs is very gradual. A single counter IC, creates the external driver circuitry with a portion of the IC providing a low stability oscillator and another portion operating as a counter with outputs connected to resistors. The other ends of the resistors are parallel and connected to the inverter. A random selector depends on the counter with the parallel original value of the resistors deciding the start of the inverter, which also depends on value selection, oscillator stability and the number of outputs used. This creates a variety of values which will repeat only several minutes later if the oscillator is stable at the time. The components have low tolerances whereby there are no two candle emulations of the same pattern.

Candle emulation

A manipulating protective glove structure for use with non-conductive, hazardous materials, or materials sensitive to contamination, in a sealed environment, e.g., glove box. The glove structure embodies components which provide monitoring and signaling to the user, of a breach, in the glove structure. The outer surface of the manipulating glove itself is made electrically conductive by conductivity treatment of by inserting the glove into a thin conductive glove member which is sized to tightly cover the outer surface of the manipulating glove. An isolated electrical wire is electrically mounted to a the conductive outer surface with prevention of ingreee of air (with possible contamination). An electrical monitoring device is electrically connected to the user's skin and to the outer conductive layer via the electrical wire. The user's perspiration or a moisturizer cream used on the user's skin completes an electrical circuit between the user and the outer conductive layer with a breach in the manipulating glove. In an alternative embodiment, a second consuctive glove is positioned on the interior surface of the manipulating glove and electrical connection is between the inner and outer layers without electrical connection to either the user or object (or patient in a surgical procedure).

Protective glove breach monitoring

An electronic candle having a configuration to emulate that of a wax candle such as a wide cylinder votive candle. The electronic candle contains circuitry to cause emission of random light flickers when activated and a spring loaded two piece switch/timer element and candle housing to effect the activation for a predetermined period of time. Switching is adapted to be effected with position placement of the candle and relative movement between the switch timer element and the housing.

An electrically powered integrity checking device for detection of breaches in protective garments under conditions of a potential for exposure to any one of bodily fluids and hazardous fluid materials. The device comprises a connector for electrically connecting a person wearing a protective garment to the device and a second connector to a fluid source. The device comprises a current source, an alarm, with constant monitoring of integrity of each connection during use of the device. A breach in the protective garment allows ingress of fluid through the breach, results in a completed circuit from the current source means, between the person wearing the protective garment and the fluid source, which triggers said alarm. The connector comprises a reusable spring loaded clamping structure which maintains pressure terminal contact with the person.

Generally the present invention comprises a decorative holder for an electrically powered candle emulation device comprising an outer, substantially transparent/translucent hollow cylindrical member. The holder further comprises a second member comprising a flexible cylindrical segment of an etched plastic material with a longitudinal slit along its entire length. The outer circumference of the cylindrical segment is slightly larger than the inside circumference of the outer cylindrical member and is of a dimension whereby it can be radially compressed to fit into the outer cylindrical member into juxtaposition with the inner walls for the fixed positioning of the second member within the first member. The holder further comprises a third member comprising a transparent colored film of essentially the same outer dimensional area of the second member. The third film colored member is positioned between the first and second members in order to provide decorative coloring to the cylindrical holder. The third member is provided with a longitudinal slit similar to that of the second member for permitting the placement thereof in a wrap around fashion on the second member. Appropriate candle emulation electronics are placed into the holder to provide the effect of a wax candle contained within an etched and colored decorative holder.

Surgical warning device

A portable early warning device for use in detection of breaches in protective garments such as gloves, during surgical procedures and the like. The device embodies a central process and source unit containing sensing wave generator, indicators, driving circuitry, digital analyzing and monitoring circuitry and a power source. The central process and source unit is separately directly connected to the object, e.g. skin of the patient, and to the device carrier, e.g. skin of the surgeon, via standard wires and EKG type terminal connectors. A conductive breach of protective garments such as surgical gloves with in vivo patient fluids, such as blood (of a possibly hazardous nature), completes a circuit and triggers a warning (either visible, audible, or mechanical) of the breach. The driving and monitoring circuitry, which generates a pulse specific current, prevents spurious signals despite the heightened sensitivity required by the device for triggering and the presence of numerous electronic devices, with emitting electrical discharges, which are present in operating rooms. The device is provided with self diagnostic monitoring means to ensure proper over-all hook-up; separate proper connection to each of the surgeon and patient; sufficient battery power; and proper operation.

Portable surgical early warning device

A device for direct monitoring of a system with pre-scheduled, request or alarm reports being generated and sent to remote locations via facsimile transmission, with the reports being pre-formatted, as desired, such as in tabular or graphical form. The device interfaces with sensors which continuously directly monitor analog data such as temperature, pH, pressure values, or digital data such as limit switches, etc. of an operating system. Multiple process variable input channels or interfaces permit monitoring of different parameters. Each parameter can be reported in different page format. A conversion element within the device converts analog data from the operating system to digital form for immediate analysis and/or storage and later retrieval and/or analysis of operating conditions and parameters. Upon a pre-determined condition, a report condition is sensed and stored data is retrieved, by the device, into suitable combination with a pre-programmed page format such as tabular or graphical form. The data, integrated with appropriate page format, is then converted by the device to facsimile machine readable form. The device is directly connected with a telephone line for transmission, with proper handshaking controlled by the device, via direct telephone transmission to one or more remote facsimile devices which print out reports in original readily readable, not optically scanned, form.
