Publication number: 20240351296Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2023Publication date: October 24, 2024Inventor: Peter Sing

Publication number: 20240293995Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2023Publication date: September 5, 2024Inventor: Peter Sing

Publication number: 20240287800Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2023Publication date: August 29, 2024Inventor: Peter Sing

Publication number: 20240279917Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2023Publication date: August 22, 2024Inventor: Peter Sing

Publication number: 20240157667Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2022Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventor: Peter Sing

Publication number: 20230415584Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2022Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventor: Peter Sing

Publication number: 20230361414Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2022Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventor: Peter Sing

Publication number: 20230147583Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2021Publication date: May 11, 2023Inventor: Peter Sing

Patent number: 7147741Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2005Date of Patent: December 12, 2006Inventor: Peter Sing
