  • Patent number: 6808104
    Abstract: A subfolder insert, or otherwise short-termed a “subfolder” for depicting its sub-file contents, for holding related papers of its conventional file folder, and as such, the subfolder is inserted within the file folder, for separation of designated papers from other papers within the file folder. To avoid the subfolder causing the file folder from being bulky and obscuring the “sub-held” papers, its surface area is effectively less than the surface area of the sub-held papers of a respectively standard size, such as a U.S. letter size and legal size; this, too, allows visual, physical exposure of the sub-held papers for easy reference and manual retrieval from within the subfolder. The front and back panels of the subfolder are integrated along multiple adjacent edges, as ideally a vertical edge and the bottom horizontal edge.

  • Patent number: 6772654
    Abstract: A crankshaft being integrated with stemmed, inertia-forced lobes that increase engine and motor efficiency, in which a respective lobe extends and branches out to a single traversal side of crankshaft integration, and thus being right-angular to its integration. Essentially, the lobe is a structurally-curved limb having respective curvature about the traversal axis of crankshaft rotation. Hence, the ensuing inertia from the lobes actually rotate. in the same direction and in parallel with the crankshaft, and thus retaining at least 99% of lobe force, to significantly increase engine and motor output power. By contrast, conventional lobes retain only 50% of inertial force. Furthermore, if the lobes' outer extended, weighted portions are “loaded” with very heavy material, such as lead, then the power output becomes proportionally greater.

  • Publication number: 20030208243
    Abstract: A therapeutic process, called inflectional therapy, is essentially a single-person process for diminishing the mental ailments of depression and anxiety. As the sufferer, being said single person, experiences such an ailment, [she]/he commences to record his thoughts and feelings by verbal expression onto a recording medium, such as an audio tape recorder. This is called a session, and the ensuing recording is called a recorded session. Typically, multiple sessions comprise adequate therapy for depression, but a single session usually diminishes a bout of anxiety. In circumstances where the sufferer does not have ready access to his recorder at the time of the ailment, he may commence recording his thoughts and feelings of the “prior” ailment when he eventually has access. Also, the sufferer may include positive, verbal expressions of encouragement during a session.

  • Patent number: 6371009
    Abstract: The present invention, being a continuation-in-part of the Reinforced Wrist-pin, makes use of a traversing reinforcing matrix for the non-mechanical surfaces of the piston and connecting-rod components' assembly. Interposing holes, or spacial impressions, within the non-contacting surface planes of such components with reinforcing members formed within such holes, for providing supplemental structural strength, as the multitude of these holes reduce overall component weight for improved efficiency of mechanical operation. For a certain configuration of the surfaces the spacial impressions are through-pass openings within the component. For another configured condition, they only recede a certain distance. Also, a specific surface condition has vertical and horizontal reinforcement members, as another condition only has horizontal members. Cumulatively, these reinforced holes provide effective weight reduction for the force transmitting assembly without compromising structural strength.

  • Patent number: 6062733
    Abstract: A wrist-pin, in which the inner tubular area is traversed by intersecting plates that traverse at the rotating axis and extending along at least a portion of the length, and thereby, said inner tubular area is divided into longitudinal sections. Ideally, the connecting-rod is positioned and affixed to the wrist-pin so that the first of such plates form traversed alignment with length of the connecting-rod, for directly transmitting forces from the piston, through said first plate, to the connecting-rod, whereas such forces are no longer effectively exerted upon the upper circular asymmetry of the wrist-pin, to prevent flexing of the wrist-pin.

  • Patent number: 5518289
    Abstract: A waterproof vehicle or equipment cover with passive barometric air-pump is disclosed and is characterized as having a flexible, fluid impervious first layer of material, a flexible, porous second layer of material sized to generally correspond to the first layer of material and attached thereto at the perimeter of the second layer to create an enclosed void defined by the first layer and the second layer, and a plurality of flexible tubes, each tube having a first open end and a second open end, and having a plurality of apertures defined thereby, wherein each tube is located in the void, in spaced apart relation, to thereby permit ingress of gaseous fluid from the first end of each tube to the void and egress of gaseous fluid from the void to the second end of each tube.

  • Patent number: 5499572
    Abstract: A piston for developing compression within the cylinder of a combustion engine or other type compression generating apparatus; said piston being a two-piece assembly, whereas the topside portion, or traditionally known as the crown, being of relative disc-shape in relation to asymetrics of said piston, is connected to the lower portion, or traditionally known as the skirt, by a distinct fastening means that consist of said crown being concaved from the underside and having multiple vertically positioned ridges that align the inside perimeter of said underside. Said skirt has another set of matching vertically positioned ridges that align the outer perimeter at the top of said skirt, as said top is appropriately sized to match said underside of said crown so that said crown may be press-fitted to said top of said skirt for a rigid and complete piston assembly.
