  • Publication number: 20210015009
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system for generating a healthy energy vortex within a space through an earthing effect. The system may comprise a plurality of copper-clad earthing poles encompassing a perimeter of an area. Each earthing pole of the plurality of earthing poles may be completely submerged underground, may contact a plurality of healthy negative ions underground, and may not contact a separate structure. Each adjacent pair of earthing poles may be separated by a distance suitable for generating the healthy energy vortex through the earthing effect. Each earthing pole may further comprise a cap of grounding enhancement material and a wire connecting the earthing pole to adjacent earthing poles. The system may further comprise a plurality of magnet pairs disposed underground outside of the perimeter of the area encompassed by the plurality of earthing poles.

  • Publication number: 20200281162
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to the prevention of EMF wave damage to the cells of living creatures. The invention features a collar that may comprise a base strip comprising a webbing material and having two ends with a fastener disposed on each end. The fasteners may comprise Velcro, buckles, or any other medium that allows for the attachment of surfaces. The collar may further comprise a container holding a remediation material that converts chaotic EMF waves into non-damaging waves. The container may be disposed on a surface of the collar and covered by a label. The fasteners may connect in a way such that the base strip is formed into a non-twisting loop with the container and label disposed on an outward-facing surface of the loop.

  • Publication number: 20020025132
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fiber optic conduit having a light diverting outer layer (22) that reflects and/or refracts ambient light directed towards the conduit. The fiber optic conduit includes a light transmitting core (24), cladded with a fluoropolymer cladding (26) and subsequently jacketed with a polymeric finish jacket (28). The light diverting layer (22) either inserted between the cladding (26) and the jacket (28) or surrounding the jacket (28) is included in the fiber optic conduit. The light diverting layer (22) preferably has the property of allowing light to be transmitted from the fiber optic surface out of the conduit in one direction and reflecting ambient light directed towards the conduit When reflecting ambient light, the fiber optic conduit appears in the form of chrome trim.

  • Patent number: 5573327
    Abstract: A lighting system using piped light is provided for the cargo space of a truck. A light source mounted on the truck body is energized by the truck electrical system through a switch in the cab. Plural lighting fixtures are mounted to the roof of the truck body for illuminating the cargo space. Each lighting fixture receives light which is piped through a separate light guide from the source to the fixture. There are two sets of lighting fixtures each of which is disposed in a linear array extending along a line from the front to the rear of the truck body. The light guides for one set of lighting fixtures are all disposed in a first enclosure and the light guides for the other set of lighting fixtures are all disposed within a second enclosure. Certain sections of the enclosures are provided with a transparent lens and certain light guides within the enclosures emit side light through the lens.

  • Patent number: 5298327
    Abstract: A plastic light conduit of cross-linked polymer material having good light transmitting characteristics, without voids or noticeable bubbles, is disclosed. Also disclosed is a method of manufacture and an apparatus, involving progressive heating of reactive monomer mixture in a tube which is submerged in a progressive reactor utilizing cold oil to maintain a cold, non-reacting zone, and hot water to create a hot zone that causes reaction, while simultaneously carrying away the excess exothermic heat of reaction.

  • Patent number: 5221387
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a heat shrink clad core optical conduit and to an optical conduit having either a thermoplastic, thermoset or liquid, light transmitting core surrounded by, preferably a fluoropolymer cladding which is in turn surrounded by a tight-fitting, finish polymer jacket which may be either transparent or translucent, and is preferably made of a polyvinyl chloride, polycarbonate, acrylic or silicone material. Numerous fillers and inserts may be used in the finish jacket polymer and the finish jacket polymer may be formed into various shapes. Bondable jacket materials may be used. The preferred method of forming the manufacturing jacket around a heat shrinkable fluoropolymer cladding is by extruding a low extrusion temperature polymer over a heat shrink clad in its expanded form into which an increased interior pressure is maintained to prevent shrinkage during the extrusion process.
