Abstract: An edge-illuminating light guide device works with a consumer electronic to provide directional lighting to efficiently emit illumination from the sides of a screen, while maximizing light emission and minimizing power usage. The device utilizes two light guides that join to direct light from a light source across a directional path from the sides of the device. An ingress light guide has a flat, triangular shape that tapers from a narrow light inlet end to a wide light outlet end. The narrow light inlet end connects to a light source. An egress light guide is defined by a flat, rectangular shape. The egress light guide integrally joins with, and is in illuminating communication with the ingress light guide. A composition coats one of the faces of the egress light guide to prevent passage of the light; thereby serving as a color filter. The device is fabricated from a polycarbonate.

Abstract: An apparatus for capturing energy of a working mass may include two or more immiscible liquids having different densities. The two immiscible liquids may include a predetermined proportion of oil and water. The apparatus may include a supporting structure, a hermetically sealed vessel, and an electric generator driven by fluid flow. The hermetically sealed vessel may have an elongate shape housing the working mass such that the working mass moves within the hermetically sealed vessel. An electric generator driven by fluid flow may be housed within the hermetically sealed vessel and having an inlet and an outlet. The electric generator driven by fluid flow may be configured to produce electric power as the predetermined portion of oil and water passes into the inlet and out of the outlet in response to a movement of the hermetically sealed vessel.

Abstract: A refrigeration and/or heat transfer device includes a heating section and cooling section, a release member, and a one-way check valve affixed together in a continuous loop so working fluid may flow in one direction therein. The heating section absorbs heat and transfers such heat to the working fluid, thereby heating, expanding and increasing pressure upon the working fluid therein. The pressurized working fluid is released in a regulated manner from the heating section to the cooling section, thereby carrying the heat away. The released working fluid cools and transfers its heat to the surroundings within the cooling section. As released working fluid enters the cooling section, such fluid displaces already cooled working fluid, pushing such fluid through the one-way check valve back into the heating section to absorb heat. The working fluid may undergo a phase change or remain in a single phase throughout to enhance heat transfer.
