  • Publication number: 20230208321
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and method that produces thrust without a propellant or any physically moving parts. The disclosed method produces thrust by accelerating electrons between a multilayer capacitive stack and taking advantage of a conductive dampener that makes up a single thrust unit. For example, as power is applied to a first conductive layer separated by a second conductive layer by at least one dielectric layer, the electrons accelerating from the first layer produce a thrust whose direction is determined by the presence of a cover layer. Multiple middle conductive layers with corresponding dielectric layers can provide thrust scalability. Stacked thrust units with a minimum of a calculated distance between said units can also scale the thrust observed. Specialty materials with built in dielectrics such as anodized aluminum can further improve the thrust unit.

  • Patent number: 11605976
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for wireless transmission of power or information. A supplying system include a signal source and a transmitter unit. A consuming system includes an electrical load and a receiver unit. Electrical power or information are transmitted wirelessly from the supplying system to the consuming system. The transmitter unit can include a step up transformer. The receiver unit can include a step down transformer. The transmitter unit and receiver unit are not connected to a common ground, resulting in a truly wireless system for transmitting power or information.

  • Patent number: 11436910
    Abstract: This apparatus can detect a user proximity to handwashing stations by electronic mechanism of proximity sensing with radio tags and anonymously tracking tagless users. It can also guide them through proper approved hand washing hygiene steps through visual/auditory cues, can track Users time/proximity in following hand hygiene guidance, and can communicate User handwashing data to a remote database from which data can be accessed.
