  • Cibernetic fountain apparatus and valve therefor
    Patent number: 5069387
    Abstract: An automatic system for the selective distribution of liquid streams comprising a plurality of nozzles, each with an inlet end and an outlet end and adapted to permit a flow therethrough of a liquid stream, for controlling the amount of liquid flow through each nozzle; and at least one decorative element coordinated with the flow of the liquid, wherein the flow through each valve is individually controllable by a microprocessor.
    Type: Grant

  • Cibernetic fountain apparatus and valve therefor
    Patent number: 4844341
    Abstract: An automatic system for the selective distribution of liquid streams comprising a plurality of nozzles, each with an inlet end and an outlet end and adapted to permit a flow therethrough of a liquid stream, the flow being variable in intensity. The invention further comprises a valve for controlling the flow intensity of the liquid stream through each nozzle and at least one decorative element coordinated with the flow of the liquid, wherein the flow through the nozzle is individually controllable for each nozzle by a microprocessor.

  • Voltage stabilizing transformer
    Patent number: 4546306
    Abstract: An improved magnetic core transformer for use as a voltage stabilizer in gas discharge lamps and tube circuits. The transformer has a magnetic stack length greater than either side of the magnetic cross-section and a floating shunt assembly constructed from stacks of magnetic strips. The stack length is optimized technically and as a function of the cost of iron and copper utilized in the transformer and when conformed with an optimum shunt a greater leakage inductance variation is achieved.
