Patent number: 11894685Abstract: Disclosed herein are unique systems and processes to transport water or fluids within pipelines by generating electricity along various portions of the water pipeline route using micro hydroelectric turbines (also referred to herein as mini-turbines) placed in-line inside of (or adjacent to/parallel with) the pipeline at one or more distances. The mini-turbines are connected via wiring systems to the pump stations at the bottom of declines in the pipeline to generate electricity via gravity flow of the water through the pipeline, and then provide such electricity to a pump to propel or pump the water up inclined portions of the pipeline route. In this manner, water or fluids can be transported from a first location to a second location along significant distances through a pipeline while reducing the electrical consumption from a third-party electrical power grid.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2022Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Eddy Corp.Inventor: Kenneth Greenberg

Publication number: 20140100556Abstract: An ophthalmic surgery system and method for treating presbyopia by performing ablative photodecomposition of the corneal surface. The offset image of a variable aperture, such as a variable width slit and variable diameter iris diaphragm, is scanned in a preselected pattern to perform ablative sculpting of predetermined portions of a corneal surface. The scanning is performed to ablate an optical zone sized to match the patient pupil with a peripheral transition zone outside the pupil. The shape of the ablated optical zone is different from the shape of the final optical correction on the anterior surface of the cornea. The optical zone corrects for near-vision centrally and far-vision peripherally. A movable image displacement mechanism enables radial displacement and angular rotation of the profiled beam exiting from the variable aperture.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2013Publication date: April 10, 2014Applicant: AMO Manufacturing USA, LLCInventors: Marc Odrich, Kenneth Greenberg, Jerome A.

Patent number: 6663619Abstract: An ophthalmic surgery system and method for treating presbyopia by performing ablative photodecomposition of the corneal surface. A laser system ablates tissue to a predetermined ablation shape, and the cornea heals significantly to form a multifocal shape correcting presbyopia. The multifocal shape corrects for near-vision centrally and far-vision peripherally. The system and method enables wide area treatment with a laser having a narrower beam than the treatment area, and can be used in the treatment of many conditions in conjunction with presbyopia such as hyperopia, hyperopic astigmatism and irregular refractive aberrations.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2001Date of Patent: December 16, 2003Assignee: VISX IncorporatedInventors: Marc Odrich, Kenneth Greenberg, Jerome A.

Patent number: 6323605Abstract: A multiple discharge tube lighting system has a plurality of gas discharge tubes positioned behind a translucent panel, within a or tube or in close proximity to each other and each tube is connected through a power supply to a dimming control circuit. The control circuit is used to change the brightness and on/off state of each tube to create the appearance of different colors when the tubes are viewed in combination using dimming and/or interleaving. The control circuit can match dimming curves, and stores, retrieves and sends power information for each tube to create displays which can be identically produced repeatedly.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2000Date of Patent: November 27, 2001Assignee: MAF Technologies Corp.Inventors: Kenneth Greenberg, Alberto Sid
