  • Publication number: 20060201148
    Abstract: A system and method for converting kinetic energy into useable thermal energy by means of a gas compression based cogeneration. Kinetic forces applied, that are coupled to kinetic components of electro-mechanic thrusters 3, 49-input side, and upper small area pistons 7, 53-receiving side transmitted by shafts 4 and 50 get multiplied through Pascal hydraulic oil links 16 and 17, that are between the lower side small area pistons 12, 58 and lower side large area pistons 21, 60. At least two compression chambers are used to compress gas therein repeatedly to increase the pressure and temperature of the same. Auxiliary compressors 41, 73 help to increase temperature of compressed gas further. Said heat generated is conducted into a single liquid sodium thermal storage volume 36 that facilitates a highly stable thermal storage volume and contains working gas spiral sections 35, 39 circulating within.

  • Publication number: 20060117752
    Abstract: This is a system that converts an energy input, preferably a renewable source generated thrust of a shaft, to useable thermal energy for an efficient non-combustion based central heating system with cogeneration capability. System enables the force applied by the shaft to be multiplied through a Pascal hydraulic link between a small piston and the large piston. The large piston compresses the gas. A static oil thermal stabilization volume facilitates thermal equilibrium condition with the working gas, where heat conduction is established between the gas compressed by the large piston and through the medium of static oil volume, and steam is used to heat residential and/or commercial buildings. After a pre-determined time, the thrust of the shaft is reversed ending a cycle. A non-combustion, hydraulic power generated compression based central heating and cogeneration system is presented as what is new in the art.

  • Publication number: 20050207067
    Abstract: A dual actuator arm assembly system that uses two pairs of actuator-carriage arms that linearly move over a stationary micro-rail independently. The geometric shape of the two pairs of actuator carriage arms conform to the arcs of the data tracks at an acute angle. System enables micro-actuation that is integrated to actuator arm and is a function of its geometry. Uninterrupted data stream and sector coverage and thus parallel data transfer scheme is made possible. Each actuator move only within a limited range of disk area, thus precision is increased, vibration is minimized and external transfer rate is speeded up and overall access time is shortened. Instant access to two quarters of the disk with two pairs of actuators and to park these without landing the heads—by positioning and constant fly height during idle mode, or when system is turned off, are introduced as what are new in the art.

  • Publication number: 20050144971
    Abstract: The primary purpose of this system is to have a refrigeration system that is super energy efficient that eliminates the dependency on the compressor. It also has a feature such as a special section of low moisture volume for ethnic foods or other perishables which are sensitive to moisture. The energy efficiency is made possible by utilizing cyrogenic nitrogen gas at ?41 C in a container as the refrigerant that functions as a heat sink. Initially, the nitrogen gas is filled into this heat sink volume at a specific low temperature. Instead of being a circulated working gas refrigerant, which has to go through phase chages, the nitrogen gas always remains at the same gas state and at the same temperature. Same temperature is kept as a result of using an external air flow chilling effect, that is applied on thin rectangular prisms, by two fans that establish a fast air flow. The connection to the heat sink for the heat flow, is made by very thin copper cells that have special semi-heat conducting interfaces.

  • Publication number: 20050098371
    Abstract: The present invention is a system to provide an immediate and visible escape route out of a damaged automobile and to provide easy access to occupants by medical and rescue personnel. In serious damage accidents, doors get jammed and cannot be opened by the medical and rescue personnel. Whereas, no time has to be wasted in reaching the injured passengers for medical attention. This system makes it sure that in serious accidents, the doors will become detachable, even if the doors are jammed and even if the doors are damaged. System functions with a sensor signaling an accident, in less than a second, system unlocks rectangular prism small blocks onto which door hinges are fixed. The unlocking components are above and below the rectangular prism components, and all components are within the front lower pillar of the car—for the front doors—and are within side pillars for the back doors.
