Publication number: 20210227803Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for farming bivalves, such as clams, oysters and scallops, using the principles of geothermal cooling. The system comprises a housing for containing the bivalves and a fluid distribution system configured to move water from a relatively warm body of water, such as an inlet to an ocean, to the housing. The fluid distribution system includes a conduit having an outer surface in thermal contact with a natural thermal reservoir with a temperature cooler than the body of water. The conduit is configured to transfer energy from the water to the thermal reservoir to cool the water and to pump nutrient-rich cooler water through the housing containing the bivalves.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2019Publication date: July 29, 2021Inventor: Kurt Josef SEIFERT

Patent number: 8068327Abstract: A holding device for encased capacitors used for electric drive engineering. The inventive holding device comprises integrateable and separable lower and top holding parts. Axially protruded retaining clamps are arranged on the top holding part around each encased capacitor. The lower holding part comprises an opening for the respective capacitor and each opening is surrounded with a sealing lip. The retaining clamps are pressed against the capacitors by the internal surface of the lower holding part. Sections protruded from the respective openings of the lower holding part are embodied in the form of the capacitor sections freely extending directly to a cold air flow of a device. The sealing lip is sealingly placed on the external wall of each encased capacitor in such a way that the penetration of solid or liquid materials inside the lower holding part is prohibited, thereby preventing a high IP protection degree.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2006Date of Patent: November 29, 2011Assignee: Lenze Drives GmbHInventors: Josef Seifert, Rudi Hueskes, Matthias Rohde, Alex Itten

Patent number: 5725098Abstract: In connection with a portable folding receptacle of wallet format, made from a plastic material and being especially suited as multi-purpose portfolio, it is proposed to connect two half-shells by means of an elastic, integrally formed back hinge comprising longitudinally extending ridges with interposed film-joint hinge elements permitting smooth opening and closing of the receptacle. The receptacle may be equipped with folding inserts, in the manner of a book, or may be equipped in its interior with a ring-book mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 1994Date of Patent: March 10, 1998Assignee: Kurz Kunststoffe GmbHInventors: Josef Seifert, Josef Kurz

Patent number: 5280210Abstract: An electric motor comprises bracket shaped end plates having extensions that lead directly to the stator and are connected to the stator by introducing the extensions into grooves. The motor includes a layered arrangement of components on the collector-side, comprising a carrier plate with a punched grid pattern forming the electric wiring. The grid pattern, together with the carrier plate, carry brush holders. Next in the axial direction is a switching ring bridging preselected line connections of the grid pattern by means of short circuiting bridges, and which is rotatably seated in a central recess of a mounting plate provided on the end plate. All connections can be fabricated by simple pressing and plugging and the motor is suited for fully automatic assembly operations.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 1988Date of Patent: January 18, 1994Assignee: Kress-Elektric GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 5161682Abstract: In connection with a multi-sectional storage receptacle for a plurality of plate-shaped record supports (floppy discs), accommodated in individual stiff partitions, which form a stack in the closed condition of the storage receptacle and are spread apart during the opening process, via their articulated connection elements, it is proposed to form the connection elements, which preferably have the form of flat connection bars, integrally with the partitions, connecting them to the latter on both sides via film joints, and to provide an additional joint at the middle of each connection element, by which the connection elements are folded back against themselves in the closed condition of the receptacle and which allow the storage receptacle to be displayed, in its open condition, in any spread-apart, stepped or rosette-like arrangement.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 1990Date of Patent: November 10, 1992Assignee: Kurz Kunststoffe GmbH & Co.Inventors: Josef Seifert, Josef Kurz

Patent number: 4817792Abstract: In connection with an individual container, which can be assembled with a pre-determined number of additional individual containers to form a multiple storage container, in particular a multiple filing box, it is proposed to subdivide each individual container into one front wall portion and one rear wall portion which are interconnected by links in such a manner that opening and closing kinematics similar to those of a parallelogram guide are obtained for each individual container, and that fixing means are provided on the respective rear and front faces of each individual container for connecting it safely, but detachably, to the associated rear or front face of the adjoining individual container whereby a multiple filing box is obtained that can be opened and closed in concertina-like mannner. The multiple filing box is composed of individual containers which form the transport and/or sales packing of the goods (CD disk, data storage means, or the like) accommodated in each individual container.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 1988Date of Patent: April 4, 1989Assignee: Kurz Kunststoffe GmbHInventor: Josef Seifert

Patent number: 4813586Abstract: Suture clip tongs include a main portion and a handle portion pivotably connected to the main portion. A magazine for suture clips is removably attached to the main portion. The magazine is formed by two sectional members which define a guide duct for the suture clips. When the magazine is being filled with the suture clips, the sectional members can be successively slid one into the other. This substantially facilitates filling and assembly of the magazine. The main portion of the tongs includes a bending mechanism for the suture clips. The magazine as well as the bending mechanism are reusable.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 1987Date of Patent: March 21, 1989Assignee: Helmut DienerInventor: Josef Seifert

Patent number: 4765469Abstract: In a multisectional storage container, especially a storage box for the storage of plate- or disk-shaped items, such as compact disks or diskettes, for example, it is proposed that individual storage sleeves be interconnected one with the other in an articulated manner by means of interconnecting means in such a manner that the sequence of sleeves can be opened in the nature of a parallelogram mechanism or in an accordian-like manner, thus enabling all of the items that are contained therein to immediately be visually inspected and identified and/or manually removed. By subsequently collapsing the individual storage sleeves of the storage box, it is possible to house them in a minimum of space, without any clearance one between the other, and, if desired, to store them in a dust-tight manner by means of an enveloping enclosure.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 1987Date of Patent: August 23, 1988Assignee: Kurz Kunststoffe GmbHInventor: Josef Seifert
