Patents by Inventor James O. Essex

James O. Essex 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: 7936097
    Abstract: An electromechanical propulsion system is disclosed. The propulsion system uses magnetic propulsion and magnetic bearings to move a vehicle. The propulsion system is well suited for use on land, air, space, above water and underwater vehicles. The propulsion system includes a plurality of electromagnets that repel each other with strong and weak magnets to move the propulsion motor in linear motion. Multiple side propulsion motors can be incorporated to alter the direction of travel of the electromechanical propulsion system. The propulsion system is manufacturable in a self contained configuration where it is controllable from a remote location.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20080024013
    Abstract: Electromechanical propulsion system is disclosed. The propulsion system has no moving parts to move a vehicle. The propulsion system is well suited for use in outer-space craft. Enter-outer-space craft; levitate, domestic and industrial uses. The propulsion system includes a plurality of electromagnets that repel each other with strong and weak magnets to move the propulsion motor in linear motion. Multiple side propulsion motors can be incorporated to alter the direction of travel of the electromechanical propulsion system. The propulsion system is manufacturable in a self contained configuration where it is controllable from a remote location.

  • Patent number: 4735171
    Abstract: Feeding apparatus which includes a feeding dish dimensioned for receiving a predetermined single food portion and structure for receiving a quantity of food which is at least as great in quantity as a plurality of food portions and structure for delivering a single predetermined portion from the structure for receiving into the feeding dish. The structure for delivering includes structure for sensing the weight of the feeding dish and the associated food disposed therein and a timing mechanism. The structure for delivering operates when the feeding dish is substantially empty and in addition a predetermined interval has elapsed.
