Publication number: 20130033131Abstract: An inductive energy converter includes a non-magnetic housing, at least one magnet and at least one induction coil disposed within the housing, and at least one spring coupled to the magnet or induction coil. Thus, the spring and the magnet or induction coil form a spring-mass system that oscillates relative to the housing when the housing is subjected to movement. The other of the magnet and induction coil does not move relative to the housing. In an alternative embodiment, human movement results in the depression of a push plate that is coupled to a wheel that causes a ring magnet to rotate relative to one or more induction coils or vice-versa. In either case, the movement of the magnet relative to the coil results in a voltage being induced on the coil according to Faraday's law.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2011Publication date: February 7, 2013Applicant: ATLANTIC INDUSTRIES, INC.Inventors: Seun K. Kahng, Leopold Kahng, Jennifer Kahng

Patent number: 5430607Abstract: A portable computer includes a processor, processor associated memory and control circuitry, and a memory disk drive assembly for storing software programs to form an integral computer unit. The integral computer unit has a CPU module, a display module, a user control module with a user control interface, module connectors, environmental protective barriers for blocking entry of EMI and moisture into the computer unit and a vibration isolator for energy absorbingly mounting the unit to the drive assembly. The display module includes a display device that is separately housed and removably interconnected with the CPU module. The modules are connected by hinges along at least one interconnecting edge of each module. The module connectors are disposed along at least one interconnecting edge of each of the modules to permit separation of the modules at non-hinged edges and pivotal movement about the hinged edges for improved accessibility.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 1992Date of Patent: July 4, 1995Assignee: North Atlantic Industries, Inc.Inventor: Stephen W. Smith

Patent number: 5351176Abstract: The present invention relates to front panel display construction for computers. The front panel includes a panel assembly secured to the computer having an opening formed therein so as to provide access to internal components of the computer. In addition, the front panel has a display member pivotably secured to the panel assembly which pivots between an open position and a closed position. In the open position the internal components of the computer are accessible to a user or operator and in the closed position, access to the internal components is inhibited.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 1992Date of Patent: September 27, 1994Assignee: North Atlantic Industries, Inc.Inventors: Smith Stephen W., Mark T. Oliver

Patent number: 4327638Abstract: Magnetically actuated impact equipment useful for high speed printers, punches or the like, is disclosed. Actuating magnets formed of materials characterized by wide hysteresis loops such as samarium-cobalt and mischmetal cobalt are disclosed. As disclosed, these magnets are oriented with like poles facing one another along opposite sides of gaps which run lengthwise of a print line. Magnetically actuated devices are shown with coils extending into the gaps with the plane of each coil being parallel to the print line. In one embodiment of the invention the magnets are arranged in upper and lower banks with coils on different movable devices extending upwardly and downwardly into gaps between the magnets in each bank. Another embodiment discloses coil-carrying devices which are mounted so as to be stepped along the gaps to various printing positions.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 1980Date of Patent: May 4, 1982Assignee: North Atlantic Industries, Inc.Inventor: Carl I. Wassermann

Patent number: 4303955Abstract: There is disclosed a tape deck for receiving standardized tape cartridges for data interchange in which the cartridge is accurately positioned by the combination of the forward thrust of a pair of resiliently biased pivot plates working in the notches of the cartridges and the resilient upward thrust of a leaf spring, with the cartridge near the plane of the interface of the recording head with the tape, having precision reference bearing points engaging complementary positioning pins anchored in the deck. The pair of pivot plates are restrained to remain in phase by means of a cross-coupling linkage and means are provided for the automatic ejection of the cartridges.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 1980Date of Patent: December 1, 1981Assignee: North Atlantic Industries, Inc.Inventors: Joel Kramer, William D.

Patent number: 3964098Abstract: A tape deck for cartridge-encased record tapes in which the cartridge is precisely secured in a predetermined position in the tape deck in relation to its transducer and to the tape drive. The tape drive is interposed in the path of insertion of the cartridge to engage the tape-actuating mechanism in the cartridge when the cartridge is positioned in the deck. A drive motor is remotely disposed with respect to the cartridge and is coupled to the cartridge drive through a belt mechanism which allows displacement of the drive wheel through the agency of a flexural hinge support.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 1974Date of Patent: June 15, 1976Assignee: North Atlantic Industries, Inc.Inventors: Joel Kramer, David Fialkow, W.
