Abstract: The premise of this invention is to improve the methods for allowing one to carve the surface of a hollow core panel or other hollow core materials, such as but not limited to Sing Core, U.S. Pat. No. 7,147,741. In the past, in order to achieve a shallow carving in the surface of the panel one would apply a thicker surface material, or skin material, greater than the depth of the desired carving. Skin materials can be any flat sheet building materials such as plywood, MDF, HPL, fiberglass, wood products, metals, or any other type of flat sheet building materials. Another previously used method is to implant solid lumber that is the same thickness of the core inside the panel. The skin materials can then be pressed over the core and lumber implants. That method works well, but the use of solid lumber creates a weak point across the panel and greatly increases the thermal bridging between each face of the panel.

Abstract: This patent is a new method of constructing composite stiffened building materials. Conventional door construction materials are made of solid wood, MDF, or LVL. Solid wood tends to move over time and is very heavy. MDF and LVL core doors tend to be extremely heavy and both have a tendency to delaminate or move over time, especially when exposed to moisture. This new method of building stile and rail doors will create lasting stile and rail doors of any size last without warping and remaining high strength, lightweight, and rigid. The stiles, or horizontal members, and rails, or vertical members, can be made of honeycomb core, laminated alternating wood products and stiffening materials like the Composite Stiffener, U.S. Patent No. 63/313,649.

Abstract: This invention is designed to allow one to build a structure quickly. The panels could be comprised of lightweight core material; such as Sing Core, U.S. Pat. No. 7,147,741. Each panel can have a solid wood frame and at least one layer of skin material on both sides of each panel. Skin material can be any flat building material or sheet materials; such as plywood, MDF, veneer, metals, plastics or fiberglass. Solid wood blocking can be placed wherever an anchoring point is needed. Panels can be joined together using tension cables/rods and/or dowels to create walls, floors, or a roof. Each panel in the wall, floor, or roof can have wiring, plumbing, HVAC ducting, or even vacuum ducting installed during manufacturing. Utility lines can be surface mounted to the base panel. This means that there is no need to drill studs to run any utility lines. Utility lines can be fabricated in the factory with outlets, switches, lights, and any other accessories installed where they are needed.

Abstract: Solid panels, composite panels, sandwich panels, tabletops, countertops, and doors made with any type of inner core material tend to warp, bend, or twist during the service life of the product. Prior solutions included adding, inserting, or embedding steel rods, steel frames, even steel pipes in an effort to reduce warping, but this adds considerable weight to the end product introducing a whole new set of problems. Aluminum tubes or extrusions are a lighter weight alternative to steel but also come with its own set of challenges, especially for sanding and gluing. This invention will address these issues while remaining lightweight, increasing strength, and preventing and tendencies to warp. Embodiments of the disclosure are directed towards a composite stiffener that can be manufactured and inserted or used as an alternative substrate material to create high precision true flat (truly flat) products that are less likely to warp, bend, or twist during the service life of the product.

Abstract: This invention is designed to improve upon and solve the issues with insulated structural honeycomb core, such as Sing Core US patent #7,147,741, or other honeycomb cores. Sing Core uses a vertical grain veneer to achieve a high compression strength. The issue with vertical grain veneer is that there is no horizontal stability. The reinforced honeycomb structure as described in this patent can use vertical and horizontal grain veneer to have great compression strength and improved horizontal stability. The reinforced honeycomb core is composed of a sheet or multiple sheets of flat building materials adhered to a layer of filler material. The layering will continue in this fashion, alternating between the flat sheet(s) and the filler material(s) to form a large block. While the adhesive is still uncured, the stack of alternating flat building materials and filler materials can be placed in a press. The pressure will allow the adhesive to thoroughly bond across the whole block.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are directed towards a composite stiffener that is incorporated into panelized products to create stronger bonding, greater adhesion between laminated layers and less warping sandwich panels. In addition, the resulting products incorporating composite stiffeners can be lightweight, yet stronger than other lightweight panels.

Abstract: This invention is designed to improve the efficiency of modern electric vehicles. This EV driveline will increase the range an electric vehicle can travel per charge. The new EV driveline is comprised of narrow and/or smaller diameter wheels that will greatly reduce drag while driving at cruising speeds. Layout of said wheels will be similar to current vehicles, with wheels on each corner of the vehicle, but can have an extra wheel placed between the front and/or back sets of wheels or possibly in the center of the vehicle. Extra wheels provide additional friction for gaining speed as well as additional braking power. The number of wheels in the driveline will depend on the users desired acceleration and/or deceleration rate. The extra wheels can be wider, to provide additional friction, or thinner for less drag. Currently, with internal combustion engines, refueling stations are abundant and refueling only takes moments.

Abstract: The premise of this invention is to simplify and improve the previous methods used for battery systems in any vehicle that relies on battery power. This new method uses a honeycomb structure, in either hexagonal, circular, rectangular, or even ovular grids. Each of these grids will house each individual battery cell. This battery pack can be used for structural purposes of the car. This could replace the chassis or become part of it. The structural battery pack can be in beam-like segments to run from one end of the vehicle to the other, either side to side or front to back. The beam-like battery pack can be diagonal if necessary. The honeycomb grid itself can be made of metal, polymer, paper, wood veneer/products, or fiberglass. The entire negative side of the battery pack can be a conductive plate that can be embedded to connect all the negative sides of each cell. Likewise, there will be a plate on the positive side of the honeycomb grid connecting each cell's positive connection.

In addition, the resulting products incorporating composite stiffeners can be lightweight, yet stronger than other lightweight panels.

Abstract: Protective breathing apparatus incorporates a powered air pump which introduces potentially contaminated air from the atmosphere to the ‘process chamber’. The process chamber are composed of a filter and disinfectant solution such as soap, alcohol by adding the solution mixed with the contaminated air passes through the filter to catch a virus in the inlet air to separate the processed air and solution. Furthermore the processed air can be heated and/or be exposed to UV light, the air is then forced to pass through a disinfectant into a centrifuge. The centrifuge then spins the disinfected air forcing the air through a filter, the air then passes a mechanical filter resulting in purified air that flows through conduit means into a transparent plastic breathing hood containing the wearer's head. The hood is secured by a neck band around the wearer's neck.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are directed towards a method to reduce the weight of any given concrete product or project by insertion during the pour, while increasing the strength of the product or project. Consisting of a composite hybrid block of vertical grain torsion box grid filled with rigid foam, which is glued into place, the Reinforced Honeycomb Concrete Substrate is inserted in sections, and allowed to remain during cure time and thereafter. Besides displacement of heavy cement or concrete, Reinforced Honeycomb Concrete Substrate is also insulated for sound deadening and climate control, and acts as a vibration and shock absorber, greatly enhancing sustainability, while reducing the tendency to crack or otherwise fail. The Reinforced Honeycomb Concrete Substrate may be precast or cast on site and may be used for a wide variety of sizes of product and projects, in anything from art to heavy construction.

Abstract: Structural Panel Chase Connection Manufacture Methods are the embedded frame solution to the problems associated with providing access for services, such as plumbing or electrical chases with high precision and accuracy. Connecting two or more panels in any direction using the embedded frame method becomes easy yet incredibly strong without requiring special tools for assembly or disassembly, so that components can be flat packed and stored when not in use. Flexible and variable these Structural Panel Chase Connection Manufacture Methods can accommodate a wide variety of dimensional configuration, not limited to only panel, post and beam configurations and can be manufactured using any available flat building materials.

Abstract: Cell walls (16) made of wood form a plurality of cells in which a filler material 18 (e.g. foam insulation) is received. Facing members (12, 14) are glued to the sides of the core structure (10). The grain of the wood cell walls (16) extend sideways of the core (10), such that in grain is directed towards the facing members (12, 14). This construction may be used to form logs (L) used for making log cabins, beams, columns, etc. It may also be used for constructing panels used to form furniture elements, such as desks, cabinets, etc., and for making doors.

Abstract: The fundamental technique of the method for making cellular cores is to make stacks of components which are configured such that cutting slices off the stacks produces cellular cores and, when needed, components used in stacks used to produce cellular cores. One of the basic components used in the stacks is termed a ribbed ply which is a ply (thin sheet of material such as wood) with a number of ribs (long thin strips of material such as wood) attached to the ply, parallel to each other. The spaces between the ribs are filled with filler material such as foam plastic, and the cells in the cellular core are filled with the filler material. The filler material is introduced as layers of the material stacked alternately with plies and adhesively attached. Slices of such a stack, sliced parallel to the grain of the plies (if wood) are called ribbed fillers. Stacking ribbed fillers and plies produces a stack having a cross section which, when sliced, produces filled cell cellular cores.

Abstract: The steps of the subject method are (1) cutting fallen trees into segments, (2) cutting portions off each segment to create two flat, parallel surfaces, called flats, to produce a cant from each segment, (3) sawing at least one lengthwise radial slit in each cant, (4) kiln drying the cants, (5) filling each slit partially or fully with material having qualities similar to the qualities of the cants, (6) selecting pluralities of cants, each plurality being comprised of cants differing in diameter no more than a designated amount, the amount being in a range of 0 to 2 inches, (7) selecting at least two cants from one of the pluralities, (8) joining at least two cants flat-to-flat. One of the least two cants may be sawed in half lengthwise with the cut parallel to the flats and then the half cants are glued to the other cant flats-to-flats. Any and all of steps 3, 4 and 5 may be omitted.
