The RTC includes a preprogrammed yearly cycle settings acquired from a weather bureau for an accurate light triggering during the on state period. It also includes a large capacitance memory backup super capacitor for protecting the critical data needed by the sub-circuit. As part of the system, the Ambient Light Sensing (ALS) monitors the amount of light, which will be analyzed by the Microcontroller Unit (MCU) for light activation. The MCU represents the central control since all of the subsystem is electronically connected to the said controller that decides independently on its next step for proper evaluation of the entire system. Temperature sensors were added to protect the circuits against component stresses and thermal runaway, which play an important role on extending the lifespan of each system, that are being continuously monitored. PFC LED module driver is also applied with analog and digital dimming as exemplary tool on extending the capabilities of the amount of power being used by the light engine. The Energy Meter/Power Sensor gives additional benefits by monitoring the actual total amount of power consumed by the whole circuit and sends back the information to the MCU for possible assessment to determine the irregularities on each system.

[PH] [72] Inventor(s): SAPUL, JOEL Z.[PH] [73] Assignee(s): NONE [74] Attorney / Agent: NONE [30] Priority Data: NONE [51] International Class 8: G 06F 17/22, 21/00 Abstract: A methodology utilizing dynamic positioning of User Pin Entry Box during the WiFi Captive Portal page in which the PIN Entry Box position and location are derived from the random number generator and MAC address of the browsing device processed from the Central Server database and/or the local Access device that could be an access controller that has the capability to store and process the random generator logic instructed by the Central Database Server. The methodology provides better content exposure of a landing page’s contents as a result of prolonged visual interaction of the user in looking for the Pin Entry Box within the browser display screen. This method involves lay-outing and assigning a specific display position points within the display terminal and mapping it to the random generator and MAC address value from the Central Server or local access device which could be an access controller with the capability to store and process these information as instructed by the Central Server. The Central Server receives a Captive Portal request from a user using an Internet or HTML browser over any data link protocol, the Central Server will generate a random number immediately and attach it to the MAC address of the requesting browser client and the two information will then be mapped to the equivalent position coordinates of the display terminal of the user from the database. When the Central Server replies back to the HTTP request, issued previously by the User browser Device, the Central Server will then process the logic of selecting the images and their location to display and use the mapped coordinates to position the PIN Entry Box to the generated position by the Central Server. These will then be sent to the Access Controller device so that its local database can display and position the content of that page – images and Pin Entry Box, to the Client device monitor screen. This methodology also considers that a position point within the display terminal can be any position point within the display terminal and can be arranged in a way that the user can easily spot the possible positions by either using imaginary guides such as lines, circles, rectangles, squares, triangle, any other shapes , or just a random position points within the display Terminal. This methodology solves the problem of any content in owner of not being viewed and noticed by the user since the consistent, pre defined and almost permanent PIN Entry box location in the screen can be memorized by frequent users and with this method, it completely changes everything and the user has to look for the PIN Entry Box [57] Document Code: A1 Intellectual Property Center, 28 Upper McKinley Rd.

With this, the viewer has to browse and look to the entire display page thereby increasing the chances of certain content/s to be viewed and noticed by internet users or WiFi users.

SEMBLANTE [30] Priority Data: NONE [51] International Class 8: A 45D 8/20 Abstract: The present invention described herein pertains to a hair accessory, more particularly to a hair clip. It is primarily composed of two jaws hingedly connected together whereby both jaws are used to clamp on to the hair. A coupling mechanism is provided so that when the jaws are clamped together to a bundle of hair, the two jaws are interlocked with each other. Such an interlocking mechanism is facilitated by using a latch, which results to better gripping unto the bundle of hair. Additional features can be added into the said hair clip such as a coating on the jaws to enhance gripping action. It is also possible to combine the said hair clip with other products such as hair extenders, jewelry, and other accessories.

Let the air pressure regulating diagram utilize as a vibrating membrane to transfer the vibration of diver's voice from air to water. With regard to the construction of this invention, it is very simple. Mouthpiece is improved to cover up and down lips, and holes are set up on the cover of the diagram. Then diver can speak clearly language inside of mouthpiece and the voice vibration will transfer to the diagram and to water and buddy can hear that voice. Thus we can convesate within 5-7 meters in water. This device is compact and cheap and easily handling and makes the diving more amusing.
