Publication number: 20220282665Abstract: A system for converting potential energy into electric power from a mixture of gases, such as atmospheric air, including a particular lesser-density-gas, such as nitrogen, and a particular larger-density-gas, such as oxygen. The system includes a gas-separator at an upper-elevation; a gas-flow-conduit that has a gas-exit-port at a lesser-elevation, where the lesser-elevation is significantly lower than the upper-elevation; and an energy-converter positioned on the gas-flow-conduit. The gas-separator is coupled to the gas-exit-port via the gas-flow-conduit. The gas-separator separates the particular larger-density-gas from the gas mixture. The gas-flow-conduit conducts the separated particular larger-density-gas from the gas-separator via the gas-flow-conduit to the energy-converter; and the energy-converter generates electric power from the conducted separated particular larger-density-gas.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2021Publication date: September 8, 2022Inventors: Jens Ole Sorensen, Jens Erik Sorensen

Publication number: 20090198584Abstract: Management in a database of inventions, ideas, and rights related to inventions including publication of ideas for inventions accumulated in a computer database. A computerized method includes establishing a contractual obligation by a prospective contributor of an idea contribution for the database to transfer property rights of a prospectively patentable invention. The contributor is enabled to view at least some other idea contributions accumulated in the database. The idea contribution is received for the database from the contributor. Ownership of a contractual benefit is provided to the contributor, wherein the contractual benefit is transferred from the owner of the contractual benefit to a new owner of the contractual benefit. The idea contribution from the database is published. Some of the property rights are transferred to a customer to allow the customer to file a patent application and/or remuneration is distributed to the new owner in exchange for the contractual benefit.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2007Publication date: August 6, 2009Applicant: SORENSEN RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT TRUSTInventors: Jens Erik Sorensen, Jens Ole Sorensen

Patent number: 7031809Abstract: A control system causes arrangements of automobile components, such as the driver's seat, the steering wheel and one or more mirrors, to be adjusted to a plurality of different memorized preferred component arrangements in response to unique component-arrangement signals respectively received from a plurality of remote control devices. The unique component-arrangement signals are transmitted by the remote control devices together with an unlock-request signal that causes a keyless-entry system to unlock one or more doors of the automobile. The control system responds to a lock-request signal that causes the keyless-entry system to lock the doors by causing the driver's seat to be adjusted to a locked position that cannot be utilized for driving the automobile. A distance measuring system separately measures the distance over which the automobile is driven while respectively in at least some of the plurality of preferred component arrangements.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2004Date of Patent: April 18, 2006Inventors: Jens Erik Sorensen, Jens Ole Sorensen
