  • Publication number: 20240225222
    Abstract: A cover for a luggage container useable as a suitcase. The cover includes a body formed of a flexible, durable material that is constructed to fully enclose the luggage container. The body includes a main opening that allows access to an interior of the body, and first and second sets of closeable openings that allow passage of wheels and handles of the luggage container when positioned within the body. The cover further includes one or more handles on an exterior surface, and optional zippered pockets and attachment points for straps useful for carrying the cover. The cover provides a secure interior that may be used as a travel case when each of the main opening and the first and second sets of closeable openings are closed.

  • Publication number: 20190323479
    Abstract: The already patented Madson Wind Turbine System (MWTS) embodies a wind turbine system for the collection of wind energy, compression of air (air or gas) in multi-stages to high pressure, for High Pressure—Compressed Air Energy Storage (HP-CAES), decompression of air in multi-stages, cooling of hot compressed air, harvesting of compression heat for heating cold decompressed air to increase volume & air flow for more efficient generation of electricity.

  • Patent number: 9702347
    Abstract: The apparatus includes a wind turbine system for the collection of wind energy and the conversion thereof through staged-compression into highly compressed gas. The highly compressed gas is routed to a central tank, and then expanded into a plurality of concentric ring tanks, each storing gas at successively lower pressures. The cooling resulting from this expansion is utilized to cool hot compressed gas from an intermediate line of gas compressors, increasing the efficiency of the following compressors. This absorption of heat also improves the efficiency of the gas turbines driving electrical generators. The gas compressor in each wind turbine is located near ground level, and driven by a vertical shaft passing through the wind turbine support tower. One embodiment has conventional radially extending blades, and another embodiment has ducted blades to withstand higher winds. Both ground mounted and deep water adaptions for the wind turbines are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9030039
    Abstract: A wind turbine and compressed gas storage system for producing electrical energy. A plurality of wind turbines is serially interconnected for staged compression to output high pressure compressed gas. Each wind turbine includes an upper head portion with two or more propellers, a gear box, a rudder and fin assembly, and a propeller feathering and braking system, all pivotally mounted on a lower storage tank portion. The storage tank portion houses a turbine compressor, and one or more internal tanks. Compressed gas, outputted from one or more of such lines, is directed into a reserve tank, comprising a plurality of concentric, scalloped, ring-like tanks, interconnected by pressure-actuated valves. Each tank is adapted for storing compressed gas at stepped pressures, varying from the highest pressure central tank to the lowest pressure outermost ring tank. Compressed gas from the outer ring tank drives one or more air turbines and respective electrical generators.

  • Publication number: 20030009419
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for processing trade data and market data to produce risk management reports and delivering reports, simultaneously, to multiple related and unrelated users over a distributed network. In one aspect of the invention, the risk management analysis includes the assessment of risk through mark-to-market, profit and loss, “greek”, FAS 133, and related reports. Further, market and trade data may be collected electronically from exchanges, information service provides, and other sources to be aggregated for use in the risk management analysis.
