Abstract: A magnetic field therapy apparatus includes a first wire coil, a second wire coil and an electrically conductive member connecting the coils in series. The coils are wound in the same direction. In a preferred embodiment the coils are wrapped around a single bobbin, with the first coil forming a bottom layer and the second coil wrapped around the first coil and forming a top layer. AC power coupled to the coils energizes the coils and generates a magnetic field within the bobbin interior region. When current enters one coil it induces current in the other coil, thereby creating a scalar effect, producing energy in the form of a helix. The waves are identical, but out of phase temporally, that is, physically identical, but 180 degrees out of phase in terms of time. In an alternate embodiment, the coils may be on separate bobbins. A trigger may be applied to the part of a body undergoing therapy.

Abstract: A passive building vent disposed in an outside vertical building wall, communicates between the outside atmospheric air and the confined air within the building, via a housing forming an air mixing chamber with a passageway disposed therethrough. A movable membrane is mounted within the housing at one end of the passageway, the other end of the passageway communicates with the confined air and is disposed outside of the vertical building wall. The membrane has a closed position, substantially blocking the passageway and an open position, permitting the free flow of air therethrough. The air passage permits the flow of outside air into the air mixing chamber. A venting device communicates with the air mixing chamber permitting the flow of air to exit from the air mixing chamber. A deflector is mounted on the housing proximate the venting device and communicates with the air mixing chamber.

Abstract: An automatic temperature responsive damper assembly for use within the conduit of a ventilating system designed to exhaust the air from a confined space to the atmosphere when the confined space reaches a preselected temperature greater than that in the conduit adjacent to the atmosphere includes at least one vane pivotally mounted within the conduit and preferably two. The vane or vanes are mounted so that they are movable between a generally opened position, wherein air can pass freely through the conduit, and a generally closed position, wherein air passage through the conduit is restricted. A temperature responsive drive assembly that detects the temperature of the air within the conduit is mounted therein and opens and closes the vanes. Biasing the vanes to a normally closed condition is accomplished by placing a greater portion of each vane beyond its pivotal axis and having the smaller portion of one vane cooperate with the larger portion of the other to maintain the generally closed position.

Abstract: A passive building vent is disposed in an opening provided in an outside vertical wall for communicating between the outside atmospheric air and the confined air space within the building and includes an inner vertical wall having a plurality of horizontally extending louvres with downwardly extending openings and a pair of side wall portions affixed to the inner vertical wall beyond the end of the louvres. A plurality of horizontally disposed vanes extend between the pair of side wall portions and are jounaled in apertures provided therein. The vanes extend downwardly in a vertical plane overlapping and are displaced inwardly providing a free air path therebetween.

Abstract: An energy saver automatic temperature responsive vent, for permitting the passage of air from one defined space to another, which includes a frame for mounting over an opening extending from one defined space to another defined space, the frame having a central passage disposed therethrough and a flap movably mounted to the frame, so as to be means, movable from a closed portion substantially blocking the passage to an open portion permitting the flow air therethrough, a temperature drive assembly being provided to open and close the flap in response to changes in temperature. Adjustment means are provided to preclude the flap from closing entirely, if desired. In addition, the vent is configured so that it has a recess disposed therein for accommodating the knob or the like of an adjustment means on a similar vent so that the vents can be nestled together in the most compact space possible as an expedient to shipping.
