Patent number: 11509209Abstract: A permanent magnet generator consisting of a stator including a pendulating master permanent magnet and a push button. The master permanent magnet is restricted in its oscillation. The master permanent magnet is oriented with a predetermined polarity towards a rotor. The rotor including a plurality of oscillating slave permanent magnets and an axel. The slave permanent magnets are equivalently spaced around an outer edge of said rotor. The slave permanent magnets are restricted in their oscillations and the slave permanent magnets are oriented with the predetermined polarity the outer edge of the rotor. When the push button is engaged, the master permanent magnet and a first of the plurality of the slave permanent magnet's magnetic fields come into contact and repel each other, driving a circular rotation of the rotor. When the circular rotation of the rotor aligns the master permanent magnet and the plurality of the slave permanent magnet's magnetic fields in sequence.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2019Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Inventor: Giovanni De Gasperis

Patent number: 9395331Abstract: A method and apparatus for microfluidic processing by programmably manipulating a packet. A material is introduced onto a reaction surface and compartmentalized to form a packet. A position of the packet is sensed with a position sensor. A programmable manipulation force is applied to the packet at the position. The programmable manipulation force is adjustable according to packet position by a controller. The packet is programmably moved according to the programmable manipulation force along arbitrarily chosen paths.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2015Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Assignee: BOARD OF REGENTS, THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS SYSTEMInventors: Frederick F. Becker, Peter Gascoyne, Xiaobo Wang, Jody Valentine Vykoukal, Giovanni De Gasperis
