  • Publication number: 20140224420
    Abstract: The invention entails the method and process to manufacture air spacers in a radiant reflective insulating, air and moisture vapor venting assembly. An adhesive mixture usually made up of ground wood, various types of binder resins such as formaldehyde based resins, and possibly other materials. The adhesive mixture is applied on various protective layers such as panels, which might be oriented strand board (OSB), plywood or even metal panels, or may be applied to more flexible protective layers such as synthetic style underlayment rolled material. The adhesive mixture is applied on the protective layer as parallel spaced lines approximately 1ΒΌ to 1?th inches apart, about ? to 1 inch high and 1/16 to ?th inch wide. Forming guides may be used to help form the adhesive mixture air spacer lines. Radiant reflective material is then adhered to the top edges of the mixture lines.

  • Publication number: 20140224160
    Abstract: The present invention entails a canting sailboat sail rig. Mast support struts are attached at one end to the outer edges or railings of the hull(s), to the stern of the mast, and the mast struts attach at the other end to the lower sections of the mast. The mast foot base is attached to a circular track that runs from the centerline of the sailboat outward, toward the edges of the hulls, and upward the bow(s). When the mast foot move outward and upward toward the railing and bow(s) the upper section of the sail tilts or cants in the opposite direction from the mast foot outward direction, creating forward thrust, lift and reduced heeling. A jib can be attached to the head of the mast and the combination canting mainsail and jib can create force, lift and less heeling.

  • Patent number: 8635823
    Abstract: The present invention comprises an effective manufactured insulation and ventilating assembly that can insulate a structure, usually in roofing or exterior wall applications, from conductive, convective and radiant heat. The radiant insulating and venting assembly is comprised of a rigid upper layer that is moisture resistant. The bottom layer of the assembly is made up of a radiant reflective surface. Between the rigid upper moisture resistant layer and the radiant reflective layer are non-collapsing air spacer columns, approximately ?ths to 1 inch in length, that create the needed air space for effective radiant heat reflection and air and moisture venting.
