Patents by Inventor Diego DE LA TORRE

Diego DE LA TORRE 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).

  • Patent number: 11967480
    Abstract: An image intensifier device includes: an intensifier tube with at least one photocathode, a micro-channel plate and a conversion element, arranged in that order one after another, and an electric power supply module configured to supply at least one respective polarisation voltage to each of the elements of the intensifier tube. The electric power supply module extends in a region located upstream of the photocathode, on the side of the photocathode opposite to the micro-channel plate. Thus, a space is cleared located downstream of the intensifier tube in the direction of travel of the photons and of the electrons in the image intensifier device. This allows reducing the size of the image intensifier device for example by bringing an eyepiece closer.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9714790
    Abstract: A facility for controlling moisture in grains provided with a grain storage silo conveniently installed on a hard flat floor and inside of which a raised floor drilled with air passageways is provided, determining an air chamber inside the silo and below the perforated floor, into which previously conditioned air is blown by an air heater, wherein the control of hot air blowing times is determined based on modeling and calculating carried out by a programmable controller operatively connected to an ambient air temperature sensor located outside the silo, an ambient relative humidity sensor located outside the silo and a temperature air sensor located into the air chamber inside the silo, thereby causing the application of different stages of drying, rewetting and maintenance of the first bottom layer of grain, ranging between an upper and lower moisture limits narrowing around the desired moisture while the drying progress, leading to an homogeneous final moisture content of all the grain bulk.

  • Publication number: 20140360045
    Abstract: A facility for controlling the grain moisture provided with a grain storage silo conveniently installed on a hard flat floor and inside of which an elevated floor comprising air passageways is provided, determining an air chamber inside the silo and below the perforated floor, into which previously conditioned air is blown by an air heater, wherein the control of hot air blowing times is determined based on means of modeling and calculating on and off times applied through an electronic control means, with the ability to read and record manual input data entered by an operator and reading data from a temperature sensor in the air chamber, below the perforated floor, further aided with an ambient temperature and moisture sensor, thereby causing the application of different stages of drying, re-humidification and maintenance of the grain moisture.
