Patent number: 9897076Abstract: A solar power plant for generating steam is comprised of a spherical shell, the interior of which is sealed from the outside atmosphere and which is mounted adjacent the top of a vertical tower. A plurality of heliostats surrounds the tower and the direct sunrays onto the sphere for heating the same sphere. A spray nozzle within the sphere directs water supplied to it from an external source onto the interior surface of the sphere to create steam. The steam is withdrawn and directed to a turbine or the like for generating electricity. A motor rotates the sphere about its vertical axis thereby regularly exposing a different portion of the sphere to the heliostats to prevent the sphere from melting.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2013Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Inventor: Raymond Johnson, Jr.

Patent number: 9525483Abstract: An optical fiber panel unit includes multiple fiber input ports, each configured to connect to a different one of multiple optical fibers. Each fiber input port includes a connector port configured to connect to a respective fiber panel optical path, an optical tap and a photo-detector. The optical tap is configured to couple to the respective optical path. The photo-detector couples to the optical tap to detect optical signals carried over the respective optical path, and to produce electrical signals that correspond to the detected optical signals. A telemetry circuit analyzes the electrical signals that correspond to the detected optical signals of each respective optical path, and determines at least one of a loss of signal (LOS) or loss of light (LOL) at each of the fiber input ports based on the analysis of the electrical signals.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2015Date of Patent: December 20, 2016Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Raymond Johnson, IV, Daniel L.

Patent number: 8789773Abstract: A process extracts and reclaims the components of an asphalt-based material having as constituents at least asphalt and one or more solid materials. A solvent for asphalt dissolves the asphalt constituent to form a slurry of asphalt-solvent liquid and the solid materials. The liquid and the solids in the slurry are then separated. The liquid is separated into solvent and asphalt. The solids, when of more than one type, are separated into at least one pure constituent solid. In a preferred embodiment, the process runs in a continuous mode with the various materials flowing as streams into spaces where steps of the process operate. The process can be used for both worn roofing shingles and for asphalt paving.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2012Date of Patent: July 29, 2014Assignee: Crown Iron Works CompanyInventors: Floyd Charles Teeter, Jr., Philip Fisher, Catherine Selvaag, Raymond Johnson
