  • Patent number: 8082892
    Abstract: The present invention is a second kind of High Efficiency Integrated Heat Engine, or HEIHE-2 for short. HEIHE-2 is a reciprocal combustion engine integrated with both compound cycle and combined cycle. HEIHE-2 comprises triple compound cylinder structure, with the first cylinder and the second cylinder being the primary combustion and/or expansion cylinders; and the third cylinder being the secondary combustion and/or expansion cylinder. Power strokes driven by expansions of different working fluids such as air-fuel combustion products, steam and compressed air, are integrated into one engine block. Triple cylinder structure provides compound expansions of three (3) different fluids as to recover the energies that would be lost with the exhaust fluids or during braking. All of these make HEIHE-2 work around four (4) periods with six (6) different operation strokes. All four (4) working periods contain four (4) different power strokes but only two (2) of them consume the fuel.

  • Patent number: 7975485
    Abstract: The present invention is a High Efficient Integrated Heat Engine, or HEIHE for short. HEIHE is a reciprocal combustion engine integrated with both compound cycle and combined cycle. HEIHE comprises twin compound cylinder structure, with the first cylinder being the primary combustion and/or expansion cylinder; the second cylinder being the secondary combustion and/or expansion cylinder. Power strokes driven by expansions of different working fluids such as air-fuel combustion products, steam and compressed air, are integrated into one engine block. Twin cylinder structure provides compound expansions of three (3) different fluids as to recover the energies that would be lost with the exhaust fluids or during braking. All of these make HEIHE work around six (6) periods with twelve (12) operation strokes. Among six (6) working periods involved, four (4) periods contain four (4) different power strokes but only one of the power strokes consumes the fuel.

  • Publication number: 20070150321
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for internet feast, or holding feast online. Internet media communications is utilized as feast platform on which the feast is held and feast related information is exchanged. Based on the worldwide speared of internet, feasters from different places could meet, chat, eat and enjoy together online. Many steps for feasting could be implemented and operated online, starting with making invitation, making appointment, making reservation for feast site, searching for menus, browsing food and drink, then making orders, distributing sub-orders, and ending with billing and payment. During the internet feast, food and drink are either served from local kitchen or delivered from nearby kitchen, after the orders are received online by internet food providers. The orders could be originated from one host feast site to multiple guest feast sites remotely.
