  • Patent number: 9340977
    Abstract: A construction system for joist girders, includes a pair of opposing bi-planar sheets of structural material, each bi-planar sheet having two alternating series of vertical segments, each segment of the series, in horizontal cross-section, defining a planar base parallel to a base of a successive vertical segment of the alternating series of vertical segments, the bases of each segment of the series integrally connected to each other by sidewalls. Respectively upper and lower horizontal track members define in transverse cross-section, a substantially U-shaped geometry, each track member open-ended for horizontally enclosing and securing an upper edge of each bi-planar sheet of the pair of bi-planar sheets. Several vertical tubular members define, in transverse cross-section, a geometry of a rectangle, said tubular members disposed between the pair of bi-planar sheets and nested within corrugated thereof.

  • Patent number: 8987932
    Abstract: A deep-water power generation system includes an initially evacuated enclosure having walls of suitable strength or reinforcement for maintaining its structural integrity thereof in deep-water pressures; a power axle extending through the enclosure from a north pole to below a south pole of the enclosure; preferably concave blades of a turbine secured upon a support frame secured to the power axle in a latitudinal plane of the enclosure; and inlet ports within the enclosure positioned at the latitudinal plane of the blades of the turbine and receiving an inflow of ambient deep water against the blades, in which a couple effect of force from the fluid flow induces rotation of the blades and of the power axle secured to the frame. A thrust deck is rigidly secured, within the enclosure, to the power axle above the turbine and to a generator secured upon the thrust deck.
