David Aberizk, President of Integrated Consultants, a Design and Rapid Prototype R&D Firm, submits a Utility Patent that offers a new electronic-pulse device Shaving Aid that enhances optimal positioning of the hair relative to skin for a close-to-skin blade cut, reducing skin irritation due to shaving. The hand held, battery operated device produces an adjustable harmless electrical discharge to the skin surface that stimulates microscopic skin muscles attached to skin hair follicles which offers a desirable positioning for blade cutting…

David Aberizk, President of Integrated Consultants, a Design and Rapid Prototype firm, in San Diego, California has submitted a Utility Patent. If adopted the patent’s approach will offer vehicle operators a new driving instrument. This new slowing feature directly engages drivers operational prospective to attain increased vehicle efficiency.

Empirical test data indicates that providing motivated drivers the option to initiate convenient-to-use energy recovery slowing options, independent of vehicle braking, will significantly increase motor or electric vehicle efficiency. A vehicle equipped with a driver anticipated slowing scheme better leverages a vehicle’s momentum to store electric energy. Passive regenerative systems do not take advantage of the driver’s anticipatory logic. Drivers that are empowered with the suggested instrumentation garner efficiency increases of a significant 3% to 6% for motor vehicles, and 6% to 9% for Electric Vehicles. Operator-Initiated-Slowing is being achieved with off-the-shelf technology regenerative hardware.… View the rest of the Press Release here
