  • Publication number: 20130331657
    Abstract: A self-powered lighting system that mounts to an electrosurgical pencil that is used to cauterize human tissue during a medical surgical procedure. The self-powered lighting system of the present invention illuminates the affected region during the medical procedure and is uniquely configured to meet the strict water-proofing and sanitizing requirements of a surgery room setting. The self-powered lighting system of the present invention is powered by a simple rotation of a main body relative to a lens cover to connect a battery to a light source that emanates light. The lens is shaped to properly distribute and direct the light to the affected region.

  • Publication number: 20120187685
    Abstract: An air driven electric generator with cylindrical rotors with blades longitudinally across most of the rotor used to charge a battery. Each rotor is connected to a generator/alternator that generates electricity as the rotor is rotated by airflow or wind. The rotors are positioned on a base and underneath a cover that form inlet and outlet slots that direct the airflow or wind to the blades of the rotors. The airflow or wind push against the blades to rotate the rotor continuously. As the cylindrical rotors rotate, the generators/alternators generate positive flow of electricity which is used to recharge the batteries used in a vehicle, street light, traffic light, boat, airplane, or residence.

  • Patent number: 6263522
    Abstract: A hydrotherapy jet system has a segmented outlet that extends from the jet body in response to a water flow through the jet and retracts when the flow stops. Water flows into the jet body, where it is directed into a nozzle that tapers to accelerate the water into a venturi jet that can then be aerated if desired. The water then enters the segmented outlet, which is urged to a retracted position within the jet body by a spring. The pressure from the water causes the outlet to extend from the jet housing against the spring pressure, compressing the spring. When extended, the outlet provides a stream of warm or aerated water to a reservoir such as a spa, pool or bathtub and the outlet can be manipulated to direct the stream. When the flow of water is stopped the spring expands and causes the outlet to retract into the jet body.

  • Patent number: 6178570
    Abstract: The system includes a jet, a rotating member or “eyeball” housing a series of discharge nozzles that can be adjusted to vary the location of an outlet flow stream as well as the direction and speed of the eyeball's rotation. A high pressure water jet flows into the eyeball and exits through the discharge nozzles. Depending upon the adjustable orientation of the nozzles, relative to the rest of the eyeball, the eyeball can be rotated clockwise or counter-clockwise, and at varying speeds. The discharge nozzles are further positionable to permit them to be displaced in a common direction.
