  • Patent number: 8043238
    Abstract: Two plastic sheets are selectively joined to create parallel air cells with connecting passageways at alternate ends. The sheets form a mattress for full body, back or leg massages. An air pumped reservoir supplies air flow to a fluidic switch. Air from a right arm pushes air to a left leg and sequentially fills a first cell. Alternating passageways at opposite ends of cells sequentially fill the cells. After the last cell is filled, air flowing out from the last cell through a right arm of the switch pushes the supplied air flow to a right leg of the switch for exhaust, emptying the cells. The cycle repeats automatically, sequentially filling the cells and pushing blood toward the heart and then emptying the cells then sequentially filling the cells.

  • Patent number: 7010513
    Abstract: The hardware of the present invention must be structured with the Brownian motion equation, Bayes' equation and its matrices as integral components. All data are input to a common bus bar. All data are then sent to all nodes simultaneously. Each node will have coded gates to admit the proper data to the appropriate matrix and Bayes' equation. Then, as the data are processed, they will be sent to a central data processing unit that integrates the data in the Brownian motion equation. The output is displayed in linguistic terms or in digital form by means of fuzzy logic.

  • Patent number: 4519563
    Abstract: Aircraft engine exhaust is mixed with air and fuel and recombusted. Air is drawn into the secondary combustion chamber from suction surfaces on wings. Exhaust of the secondary combustion chamber is blown over wing and fuselage surfaces.

  • Patent number: 4169567
    Abstract: A helicopter rotor is formed with spars and ribs. The spars form parts of the surfaces, and long slots are constructed in the spars to provide suction and blower slots. Air is withdrawn in slots nearest the leading edge, and engine exhaust is conducted to a suction/blowing device which in turn blows air through slots near the trailing edge. Helicopter engine exhaust is mixed with air and fuel and is recombusted. Air is drawn into a recombustion chamber of a suction/blowing device from suction surfaces on the helicopter rotor blades. This suctioned air is then re-routed to the slots near the trailing edge and blown over the upper and lower surfaces of the blade.
