  • Patent number: 7990110
    Abstract: An aspect of the present invention provides a circuit for generating a voltage that can be used to recharge a battery. The circuit includes an inductive voltage generator operable to generate a magnetic field when the voltage generator is energized by power, and operable to generate a voltage from the magnetic field's collapse when the voltage generator is de-energized, and a switch operable to allow the voltage generator to receive power to energize the voltage generator, and operable to disconnect the power from the voltage generator to de-energize the generator. With this circuit, a power source that generates less voltage than the fully charged capacity of a rechargeable battery can be used to recharge the battery. Also, the circuit can convert power in different forms, such as constant direct current, varying direct current, or alternating current, into a second voltage for charging a battery.

  • Patent number: 7109671
    Abstract: This invention is a back EMF permanent electromagnetic motor generator and method using a regauging process for capturing available electromagnetic energy in the system. The device is comprised of a rotor with magnets of the same polarity; a timing wheel in apposition to a magnetic Hall Effect pickup switch semiconductor; and a stator comprised of two bars connected by a permanent magnet with magnetized pole pieces at one end of each bar. There are input and output coils created by wrapping each bar with a conducting material such as copper wire. Energy from the output coils is transferred to a recovery rectifier or diode. The magnets of the rotor, which is located on a shaft along with the timing wheel, are in apposition to the magnetized pole pieces of the two bars. The invention works through a process of regauging, that is, the flux fields created by the coils is collapsed because of a reversal of the magnetic field in the magnetized pole pieces thus allowing the capture of available back EMF energy.

  • Patent number: 6677730
    Abstract: A two-phase solid-state battery charger can receive input energy from a variety of sources including AC current, a battery, a DC generator, a DC-to-DC inverter, solar cells or any other compatible source of input energy. Phase I is the charge phase and phase II the discharge phase wherein a signal or current passes through a dual timing switch that controls independently two channels dividing the two phases. The dual timing switch is controlled by a logic chip or pulse width modulator. A potential charge is allowed to build up in a capacitor bank, the capacitor bank is then disconnected from the energy input source and then pulse charged at high voltage into the battery to receive the charge. The momentary disconnection of the capacitor from the input energy source allows for a free-floating potential charge in the capacitor.

  • Publication number: 20030127928
    Abstract: A back EMF monopole motor and method using a rotor containing magnets all of the same polarity and in a monopole condition when in momentary apposition with a magnetized pole piece of a stator having the same polarity, said stator comprised of a coil with three windings: a power-coil winding, a trigger-coil winding, and a recovery-coil winding. The back EMF energy is rectified using a high voltage bridge, which transfers the back EMF energy to a high voltage capacitor for storage in a recovery battery. The stored energy can then be discharged across the recovery battery through the means of a contact rotor switch for further storage.

  • Patent number: 5748745
    Abstract: An analog vector processor and method for converting right and left mono and stereo audio input signals through a series of six amplifier blocks and two control blocks using a series of unique signal path connections. The six amplifier blocks are comprised of three dual-amplifiers, two spacial amplifiers, a four-amplifier integrated circuit that inverts and transposes the signal path thus putting the signals out-of-phase. The two control blocks are comprised of a new and unique signal mixer control block that selects a mono, stereo, spacial or binaural signal, and a level control block for dual tracking of the signals. The resultant output signals are of an altered sound field producing a binaural effect thus creating a three-dimensional sound experience. The input signals may be from any sound source or conducting medium.

  • Patent number: 5487057
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for reducing relaxation noise in a conducting medium. The device is fabricated by affixing two magnets at like, repelling poles; wrapping said magnets with a coil of wire in an orientation orthogonal to the interface between the joined magnets and the like poles of the magnets to form a magnetic unit; connecting said coil to a motor means, an electrical power supply means and a switch means; attaching a spindle to said motor means. The spindle receives said conducting medium. The apparatus can be in a housing. The conducting medium is placed on said spindle. By activating the device, a modulated magnetic electromagnetic field is created simultaneous to the spinning of the conducting medium. The information recording medium rotates through the modulated electromagnetic field, thereby reducing the relaxation noise.

  • Patent number: 4644422
    Abstract: An anti-copy system which prevents copying of tapes and records and other source material by placing a degrade signal on an analog source signal to be recorded on a recording device. One embodiment of the system includes a pulse width modulation (PWM) circuit that generates a pulsed signal in a frequency range from near the upper end to well above the range of hearing. The PWM pulsed signal is modulated by the source signal to be recorded. The PWM signal becomes the degrade signal. This degrade signal is keyed so that it is combined with the source signal only when the frequency of the source signal exceeds a desired threshold. The combined source signal and degrade signal are recorded on the original recording. This original recording can be played back without the presence of the degrade signal impacting the audible quality of the reproduced source signal.

  • Patent number: 4555795
    Abstract: An audio processor which converts monaural input to a realistic pleasant sounding binaural output in which optical coupling means, having a nonlinear transfer characteristic, creates an unbalanced output to a pair of audio outputs. The system provides for a high or low level input, which may be selected by a switch, to an emitter follower which drives an optical coupling circuit. The optical coupling circuit is comprised of a light emitting diode and a phototransistor connected in a phase splitting network. The phase splitting network provides an unbalanced output to terminals for connecting to preamplifiers, amplifiers, etc. An alternative embodiment employs two optical coupling circuits in two separate signal processing channels, including two phase splitting networks.
