  • Publication number: 20210383485
    Abstract: A system of Ocean-based barges following slow speed annual migration patterns that can net more incident solar energy, per unit area, than ever previously disclosed. This system makes use of solar radiant energy, seawater, and air to make most of the fuels/chemicals necessary for human life. These chemicals and/or fuels can then be efficiently distributed anywhere in the World by use of slow speed/low drag force travel, ocean currents, and/or transiting cargo ships. This system can power the entire Worlds global shipping industry, serve as an international decentralized energy grid, and/or provide a stored renewable energy reservoir of 100+ years.

  • Patent number: 9190940
    Abstract: This system provides a wide range of smooth and precisely controlled low and high speeds for pan-tilt-zoom surveillance cameras, in which a brushless motor is controlled by a Microcontroller in a low speed mode by sinusoidal synchronous commutation, in a high speed mode by block commutation, and in a transition phase from the low speed mode to the high speed mode by modulating integrated pulse-width modulation (PWM) square waves with sine waves. PID and lookup table registers are used by a microcontroller for a smooth transition from high speed mode to low speed mode, and from low speed mode to high speed mode, phase locking a sine position during transitions, in order to give a surveillance camera an ability to quickly move from one target to another at up to 100 degrees per second yet track objects that are moving very slowly.
