Publication number: 20160320092Abstract: A new method and system of heat conservation, heat exchange, and incremental heat displacement facilitated by a series of tanks that forestall the mixing of fluids with non-homogeneous temperatures is described. The system employs specially crafted tanks containing a liquid. The heating of the liquid is regulated by a microprocessor, which monitors the independent temperature of the liquid within each of the tanks of the series of tanks, and only permits the activation of the heating coils to one tank at a time, with priority given to the tank closest to the output. The series of tanks are insulated, and are configured to maintain the approximate temperature determined by the owner or user. Each tank is equipped with an independent heater and temperature sensor. The tanks are prioritized to specifically heat those that need it the most.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2016Publication date: November 3, 2016Inventor: Carl Snyder

Patent number: 7710117Abstract: A current unit having two or more current paths allows control of magnitude, phase, time, frequency and position of each of element in a radio frequency coil. For each current element, the current can be adjusted as to a phase angle, frequency and magnitude. Multiple current paths of a current unit can be used for targeting multiple spatial domains or strategic combinations of the fields generated/detected by combination of elements for targeting a single domain in magnitude, phase, time, space and frequency.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2007Date of Patent: May 4, 2010Assignee: Regents of the University of MinnesotaInventors: J.

Publication number: 20070170799Abstract: Snyder Pulley-Gear System Powered by Permanent Magnets is a design to configure permanent magnets, a pulley, and a counter-weight such that they form a system that can produce a positive work output that can be used to drive gears. The core idea of this design is the specific concept of using permanent magnets, pulleys, and counterweights together to produce a system that can drive gears. The permanent magnets can be replaced with electromagnets in the design or a mix of permanent magnets and electromagnets can be used. The concept uses a permanent magnet and a non-magnetic counterweight on a pulley. The counterweight is at least 10 percent heavier than the pulley's magnet. A moving permanent magnet at ground level is then moved underneath the pulley's magnet and used to attract the magnet side of the pulley. That drives the gears in the system and pulls the counter-weight up. It also drives a magnetic shield to move between the two magnets before they are able to connect.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2006Publication date: July 26, 2007Inventor: Carl Snyder

Patent number: 6219990Abstract: A method of forming and using a metal I-beam includes hot rolling an elongated metal workpiece to establish a web and a pair of flanges on the edges thereof. The web is formed with elongated reinforcement of solid cross-section having a generally straight longitudinal axis oriented generally parallel to the flanges. The hot rolled I-beam is cooled without forming substantial waves in the web and the I-beam is subsequently secured in a building construction or other structural product. The method involves the longitudinally oriented reinforcing means which preferably are one or more elongated laterally projecting ribs having such mass that the average temperature of the web prior to cooling will be sufficiently close to the average temperature of the flanges prior to cooling that the formation of waves within the web during cooling will be resisted. The reinforcement is preferably coextensive with the I-beam. The web is preferably substantially continuous.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 1998Date of Patent: April 24, 2001Assignee: J&L Structural, Inc.Inventors: Carl A. Snyder, Michael A. Karczewski, Karl W.
