Patent number: 7364406Abstract: An apparatus is provided for generating electricity in response to a fluid flow. The apparatus includes a top rotor element coupled to a center axis with an arm extending substantially perpendicular to a center axis. The arm moves in response to the fluid flow to rotate the center axis. The apparatus also includes a bottom rotor element coupled to the center axis also having an arm extending substantially perpendicular to the center axis. The arm of the bottom rotor element is substantially fixed in a position relative to the arm of the top rotor element, wherein the position is offset about the center axis by about 90° from the top rotor element.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2005Date of Patent: April 29, 2008Assignee: Oregon Wind CorporationInventor: Christopher P. Kinkaid

Patent number: 7353673Abstract: A locking device and a method for unlocking the locking device are provided. The locking device includes a stationary plug having a first aperture extending therein configured to receive a key. The stationary plug further includes an outer surface, an inner surface defined by the first aperture, and at least a second aperture extending from the outer surface to the inner surface. The locking device further includes a housing having an outer wall disposed around at least a portion of the stationary plug. The outer wall has at least a third aperture extending therethrough. The locking device further includes a bolt member operably coupled to the outer wall of the housing. The locking device further includes a locking mechanism disposed in the third aperture of the housing and extending into the second aperture of the stationary plug. The locking mechanism is configured to allow rotation of the housing about the stationary plug when the key is inserted into the first aperture.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2005Date of Patent: April 8, 2008Assignee: Wind CorporationInventors: Kevin Houlihan, Patrick E.

Patent number: 5698180Abstract: Disclosed is a nontoxic piper nigrum and acetic acid liquid lachrymator solution that can be used defensively when dispensed as a spray to reliably fend off and temporarily incapacitate an attacker or lawbreaker without subjecting the targeted individual to permanent injury or death as might otherwise occur had the individual been sprayed with a conventional capsicum lachrymator. In the preferred embodiment the nontoxic lachrymator solution of the present invention comprises an approximately 15% by weight solution of piper nigrum (black pepper), an approximately 49% by weight water reduced solution of acetic acid (vinegar), a solvent/preservative comprising approximately 35% by weight ethyl alcohol and a telltale marking/aiming agent comprising approximately 1% by weight yellow food color. The nontoxic liquid lachrymator solution of the present invention is nonflammable and comprises approximately 63% by weight water.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 1996Date of Patent: December 16, 1997Assignee: Gusty Winds CorporationInventor: Michael W.
