Looking forward to it M.
Just one reason why this device will be huge.
Missing Hiker Found Alive In Rocky Mountain National Park
Hillel Ben-Avi Spotted By Search Helicopter
POSTED: 2:30 pm MDT August 31, 2005
UPDATED: 7:46 pm MDT August 31, 2005
A Texas man who had been missing at Rocky Mountain National Park since Sunday was found alive Wednesday afternoon.
Hillel Ben-Avi, 45, was spotted by a helicopter that was conducting an aerial search in the Hague Creek area of the Mummy Range.
The thought of Be-Avi going into another potentially cold evening caused real concern that the search might not end well, but now everybody is all smiles.
"I'm doing fabulously well. This is the happiest day of my life. I owe it all to search and rescue people," said Doron Ben-Avi, Hillel's brother. "Honest to God, I thought he was dead, or worse. I know it was cold it has been at night here and I'm just flabbergasted that when I saw him after they brought him down from the helicopter, he was standing up. They had an IV in his arm but he was gesturing and had normal posture. He was clearly dehydrated. My brother is one tough cookie but I say, they saved his life."
Hillel Ben-Avi was flown to the park's helibase at Upper Beaver Meadows where he received medical care, park officials said. Rescuers said he appears tired and hungry but is otherwise in good condition.
Ben-Avi was last seen near the summit of Fairchild Mountain Sunday afternoon when he was hiking with his brother. They became separated and on Sunday afternoon, Ben-Avi used his cell phone to call park dispatchers for help but then in the middle of the conversation, the cell phone battery died.
Dozens of searchers and a couple of search dogs spent all day Monday and Tuesday looking for Ben-Avi.
Apparently, he came across a fishing pole during his trek and he tied a white shirt to the pole and waved it around. It was that shirt that searchers spotted in the air Wednesday afternoon.
Ben-Avi is a radiologist from Austin, Texas.

Agreed, the potential here is huge. Marketing trip in Feb. should be very interesting.
Very nice add!! Reversal is just beginning.
yep, just a matter of time here Stevo.
Time to bring back the uptick rule IMO.
On April 20, 2008, we entered into an exclusive purchasing and marketing
agreement ("Agreement") with Al-Sadeef Trading Company (headquartered in Jordan)
and its shareholders Mr. Tahseen Jasim Hamadi and Mr. Ali Jasim Hamadi
(collectively: the "Buyer") for the purchase, sale and marketing of our Yogen
product in the Middle East. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Buyer
agreed to purchase a minimum of 300,000 units of the Yogen product per year for
a price per unit equal to the manufacturing price plus 30%, including all
shipment expenses incurred by us. The Agreement is filed as exhibit 10.1 to this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is incorporated herein by reference. We expect
to receive the first order in the coming days and under the Agreement we will be
obligated to use reasonable efforts to manufacture and ship the products within
90 days from acceptance of such order.
Big event!!!
ZLC - 1.40 now
Right now the main update I want to see is the A/S reduction.
ZLC - 1.38x1.39. Movin' on up!!
Most definitely. From the sound of the shareholder update ther will be many more updates to come through March.
Coming back from the early dip.
Good question. I would think it would just be a matter of the connectors and the power output by the devices.
Seems like your not the only one who feels this way.
Hand-wound cell phone chargers
IST SideWinder cell phone charger
IST SideWinderEditor's rating: 5.3
The good: Compact and light; reusable; LED throws 5 minutes of light after a couple minutes of cranking.
The bad: Tough to crank; several minutes of cranking gave us only a few minutes of phone life; won't work on a completely dead phone battery.
The bottom line: The IST SideWinder might be small, reusable, and environmentally friendly, but we never got a decent cell phone charge from the device.
This crank-driven emergency cell phone charger seems like the ideal choice for a chatter who's stranded on, say, a deserted country road and needs to squeeze a call out of a dead handset. But while we got sore fingers from furiously cranking the IST SideWinder ($25), overall we couldn't get enough of a charge to even place a call for more than a few minutes.
The compact, lightweight SideWinder (2.3 by 1.8 by 1.5 inches, 2.2 ounces) comes in a translucent blue plastic shell, which is curved slightly for a better fit in your palm. On the right side of the SideWinder is a small crank that folds into the casing when it's not in use. On top are a small power port and a white LED that provides 5 minutes of illumination after cranking--great for dark environments. The charger also comes with a small lanyard and a vinyl carrying case.
Setup is relatively simple: Just plug one end of the included cable into the IST power port, then attach the other end to your handset's AC input. Adapters for most Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Audiovox, Kyocera, and Samsung phones are included, but you should check exact compatibility with your phone before buying. Next, you extend the small plastic handle and begin cranking at about two revolutions per second. After 2 minutes of cranking, you're supposed to get about 6 minutes of talk time and 30 minutes of standby time.
Unfortunately, the IST SideWinder won't work on a completely dead battery. We attached the charger to a drained Motorola V600 and cranked diligently for about 2 minutes. The crank was a bit stiff, and our fingers began to get sore at about the 1-minute mark. We then hit the Moto's power button; the handset powered up fine but died as soon as we started dialing. We then cranked for another 2 minutes, during which our fingers begged for mercy, and the SideWinder grew noticeably hot--again, no dice.
The IST SideWinder performed marginally better with a battery that had a few seconds of juice left. We tested it with the Samsung MM-A920 and got about 3 minutes of power after 2 minutes of cranking. Still, it was barely enough time to make a decent emergency call. We would have kept cranking until we got a decent charge, but frankly, our arms were rubber after the fruitless 5-minute workout.
ElectroHiFi SOSCharger
ElectroHiFi SOSChargerEditor's rating: 5.6
The good: Small and compact; crank drive makes the charger reusable; LED produces a few minutes of light after 2 to 3 minutes of cranking.
The bad: Tough to crank; several minutes of cranking gave us mere minutes of phone life; won't revive a completely dead battery.
The bottom line: Like the nearly identical SideWinder, the ElectroHiFi SOSCharger delivered a minimal charge in exchange for several minutes of cranking.
Closely resembling the crank-driven IST SideWinder, the ElectroHiFi SOSCharger ($20) also suffered from reliability issues. After several minutes of cranking, this palm-size charger managed to charge our Motorola V600 handset for only a few seconds, though our Sony Ericsson S710a lit up for longer. While we're all for reusable, environmentally friendly sources of power for our portable electronics, they're not much good if they can't deliver the juice.
The ElectroHiFi SOSCharger is essentially an exact copy of the SideWinder. Measuring a compact 2.3 by 1.8 by 1.5 inches and weighing in at 2.5 ounces (slightly heavier than the SideWinder), the SOSCharger comes in both silver and translucent blue.The plastic shell is curved for a better ergonomic fit and small crank folded into the side. And like the SideWinder, there's a white LED and a power port on top of the device. The charger comes with a small lanyard but no carrying case (like the one that comes with the SideWinder).
Setting up the ElectroHiFi SOSCharger is a snap; just attach the included power cord from the charger to your phone's AC input. Adapters for various phone makers, such as Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Audiovox, Kyocera, and Samsung, are included. Once the power cable is all set, you unfold the small handle and begin cranking.
According to the ElectroHiFi SOSCharger's specs, 3 minutes of cranking should get you between 2 and 8 minutes of talk time. Just as with the SideWinder, however, the SOSCharger came up disappointingly empty on a dead battery. The device won't deliver enough juice to power our depleted Motorola V600 for more than a few seconds; by the time we started dialing a number, the phone went dark. We tried cranking for another 3 minutes, but again, our V600 died within moments. On the other hand, when using it with a near-dead Sony Ericsson S710a, we got enough power for a quick 6-minute call.
Really all it would take is the proper connector and any "handheld" device could be charged with the Yogen devices.
Easy Energy Introduces YoGen Max Laptop ChargerPrototype of foot pedal laptop charger has “eco” written all over By Georgiana Bobolicu, Gadgets Editor
2nd of December 2008, 18:47 GMT
If we want to run all those devices that make our lives so much better, we need to find a way to power them that won’t cost a fortune and that can be used without danger of further damage to the environment. Using a disposable battery on a daily basis is clearly not a good idea. Renewable energy has to be the way. But, since the sun or the wind are rather difficult to use on a daily basis, Easy Energy has an alternative, the YoGen Max foot pedal laptop charger.
Still only a prototype, the YoGen Max is very easy to use and to carry around with you, as it will fold up for easy travel, allowing you to run your laptop like an antique sewing machine.
Of course, we all know that the human body coupled with the right balance of mechanical generators can produce electricity. But if you're one of those people who compulsively taps their foot anyway, the YoGen Max can help you run your laptop from anywhere, without a supplementary effort, isn't that right?
Thanks to this functioning principle, you'll practically be able to use your laptop far away from areas that have electricity, in the middle of the nature, while working in a much more relaxing way. Although its main purpose is to charge laptops, the YoGen Max can also be used to charge other small devices, without any restrictions.
No matter how easy it may be to charge a laptop or any other device this way, it may become somehow tiresome, since most of the electronics that we use on a daily basis require rather long operating times. But there's no need to worry, since Easy Energy has thought that through and endowed the YoGen Max with a high capacity internal rechargeable battery, packaged within an electronic block playing the role of a construction base. Besides the battery and in order to provide a maximum level of versatility, the electronic block of the YoGen Max makes it possible to set the desired output in a range covering all existing laptops and other similar devices.
Since it's just a prototype, there's no price attached to the YoGen Max just yet, but, according to the Easy Energy website, it should hit the market in the near future and I guess we will find out then.
News would be very nice.
Oh yeah. Will be adding this morning for sure. Valentines right around the corner.
Our device YoGen® is a slim pocket-size hand-powered electric charger driven by repeated pulling a cord in a similar to Yo-Yo string. While the self-returning cord is repeatedly pulled by the user, an internal alternator spins continuously, and thereby generates power allowing for recharging the batteries used by any PDA and especially cell-phone while the user can keep using them, e.g. `staying on talking`..
Since human-power source is actually unlimited and permanently available- no additional batteries to dispose of or extra weight to carry.
YoGen® is based on a unique extremely slim patented high-efficiency "on-board" alternator integrated with an energy-saving electronic stabilizer allowing for a palm-sized device which provides a quick recharge for any device adapted for charging from 5VDC chargers: cell-phones, GPS, iPOD, MP3, MP4, etc.
The second device we are developing, YoGen MaxT (coming in soon) will provide enough power for laptops and their accessories, professional camcorders, etc. Unlike YoGenT it will be driven by the user's foot in order to provide a long charging without body weariness and interference with main user work.
Virtually everyone these days is mobile: everyone carries at least one battery-powered device, and often they have a bag-full of these power-hungry devices.
One out of two North Americans carries a cell-phone. MP3 player, iPOD and similar music systems are owned and used by virtually everyone under 40. Game decks, electronic toys and organizers are everywhere and many of us carry laptops and equipment ranging from GPS units to pocket camcorders. Keeping all these batteries fully charged and conditioned presents a real problem. They all use a lot of energy, depleting batteries rapidly. Often the battery dies and the charger is at home or in the office or there is no AC outlet available. Many people try to make do with a handful of ordinary AA and AAA batteries.
For most cell-phone users, the only way of charging their battery is through the cell-phone itself. The units are not meant to be routinely opened for battery exchange which is usually the case with PDAs and camcorders etc.
For millions of laptop users, a spare battery is simply too much extra weight and often gets left behind in the office or hotel. For some of the other types of gadgets, batteries may not be replaceable or accessible to the user without disassembling the device. Even if it was practical, this would void any product warranty.
Now there are new devices - chargers that are small and light enough and can handle all devices that is to recharge low batteries in any situation.
Size: 55 mm x 90 mm, 23 mm thick (2.1" x 3.5", 0.9" thick)
Max power: 5 W typically (up to 6 W)
Electric output: built-in mini-USB. Supplied with a set of flexible cables terminated by connector adaptors for most popular cell-phones and other hand-held electrical devices.
Built-in 650 mAh lithium-ion back-up battery.
A State-Of-Charge internal battery indicator.
A LED indicator showing actual charging the electronic device being connected to.
A slider switch alternating between forced and regular charging mode
Rugged and tough enough to withstand constant use.
At this stage we are only taking orders for the YoGen® as well as from distributors and wholesale purchasers. If you are interested in retailing YoGen®, please contact us at sales@easy-energy.biz for details.
Nope, will get myself several of these devices. One for each car and one for my hiking/hunting pack.
Me too. Past time for a serious rally here.
Morning people. ZLC is looking good.
Good morning folks.
