Patent number: 11289972Abstract: An electric motor comprising: a first element having at least one electromagnet, a second element, rotatable relative to the first element about an axis, the second element comprising at least one permanent magnet, wherein the electric motor is arranged to generate a torque by applying a rotating magnetic field to the second element, and a friction member coupled to the first element such that the friction member is non-rotatable relative to the first element about the axis, the friction member comprising a magnetically susceptible material and being biased by a first biasing force toward the second element, wherein the first element, the second element and the friction member are configured such that: when the electromagnet is not energized, the first biasing force causes the friction member to contact the second element to generate a braking torque.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2018Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: Genesis Robotics & Motion Technologies Canada, ULCInventor: James Klassen

Patent number: 11067076Abstract: In a rotor in rotor configuration, a pump has inward projections on an outer rotor and outward projections on an inner rotor. The outer rotor is driven and the projections mesh to create variable volume chambers. The outer rotor may be driven in both directions. In each direction, the driving part (first inward projection) of the outer rotor contacts a sealing surface on one side of an outward projection of the inner rotor, while a gap is left between a sealing surface of the other side of the outward projection and a second inward projection. The gap may have uniform width along its length in the radial direction, while in a direction parallel to the rotor axis it may be discontinuous or have variable size to create flow paths for gases.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2018Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: GENESIS ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY INC.Inventor: James Klassen

Publication number: 20200282552Abstract: The application relates to a magnetic biasing assembly. The magnetic biasing assembly comprises an outer part, having a first permanent magnet and an outer ferromagnetic annulus disposed radially outwardly of the first permanent magnet; and an inner part, having a second permanent magnet and an inner ferromagnetic annulus disposed radially inwardly of the second permanent magnet. The outer and inner parts are rotatable relative to each other about an axis to move the inner and outer parts into and out of an equilibrium position with each other. When the inner and outer parts are moved out of the equilibrium position, the first and second permanent magnets are arranged to generate a magnetic restoring moment between the inner and outer parts in a direction towards the equilibrium position.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2018Publication date: September 10, 2020Inventor: James Klassen

Publication number: 20160025152Abstract: A clutch designed to effectively transfer torque between wheel drive system components in a vehicle drive wheel drive system to move the vehicle on a ground surface is provided. The wheel drive system components may include a non-engine drive means and a roller traction drive in torque transmission contact with the clutch and with the vehicle drive wheel. The clutch includes complementarily configured clutch components designed to mesh into engaging contact when activated by electromagnetic or other external engagement actuation means to transfer torque through an interface to a vehicle wheel. Drag and friction produced by activation of adjacent rotating patterned clutch elements amplifies axial forces to cause clutch elements to mesh into locking engagement to control transfer of torque between a non-engine drive means and a roller traction drive system to drive an aircraft landing gear wheel or other vehicle wheel.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2014Publication date: January 28, 2016Inventors: James Klassen, Jonathan S.

Patent number: 9061623Abstract: A container for use on a dump truck style transport trailer is described, and specifically a container for transporting a fluid mixture such as a slurry or sludge is described. The container has interior hinging baffles for dividing the container into compartments and preventing the contents in the container from moving around during transport. The container has a tailgate that is connected to the baffles such that pivoting the tailgate causes the baffles to pivot. The container also includes a sealable lid that can be opened for loading contents into the container and closed for preventing spillage of the contents during transportation. A cleaning system and heating system for the container are also described.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2014Date of Patent: June 23, 2015Assignee: OCULUS TRANSPORT LTD.Inventors: Michael MacLean, Henry James Klassen
