Wayne J. York has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Vibration actuation system with independent control of frequency and amplitude
    Patent number: 7862224
    Abstract: Vibrational energy generated with a pneumatic vibrator is controlled to independently adjust the amplitude and the frequency. A mechanical resonator is used to adjust the frequency. The controlled vibrational energy can be applied to equipment, such as a heat exchanger to mitigate fouling.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 15, 2010
    Date of Patent: January 4, 2011
    Assignee: ExxonMobil Research & Engineering Company
    Inventors: Limin Song, Leroy Clavenna, Mohsen S. Yeganeh, H. Alan Wolf, Glen B Brons, Wayne J. York, Ian A. Cody
