  • Publication number: 20190318365
    Abstract: A method for saving electric energy and generating saleable carbon credits based on an amount of electric energy saved using a plurality of electric energy saving components adapted for an operative positioning in-between an electricity supply and a user appliance consuming said electricity supply. Proceeds from the sale of carbon credits based on saved electricity is sold to generate revenue for subsequent purchase and distribution of the energy saving components to subsequent users to accelerate distribution and use of the energy saving components and to accelerate the decrease in carbon emissions.

  • Publication number: 20050099131
    Abstract: An electrical power control apparatus and method for power factor correction in a conventional 60 hertz or other conventional frequency electrical AC power supply communicated to an inductive load. A plurality of interruptions of current in the line on both sides of an AC current oscillation, are created to control the power factor in a circuit energizing an inductive load. Additional power factor control and correction is provided by grounding of the line during each interruption. A controller controls the length and duration of each interruption based on preprogramming or input regarding current phase read or calculated in the line.

  • Patent number: 6281852
    Abstract: An antenna that concurrently provides both satellite and local VHF-UHF radio and television reception. The satellite antenna is comprised of plastic or other radio wave transparent material having a radio wave reflective outfacing surface thereon shaped to reflect incoming satellite signals to a defined focal point. Channels formed in the radio wave reflective material define one or more leg elements for omni directional reception of local VHF/UHF signals eliminating the need and cost to install a separate antenna for local television and radio reception.

  • Patent number: 6049306
    Abstract: An satellite antenna aiming device for continuous real time adjustment of the elevation and direction of a satellite antenna to receive the optimum signal to and from a desired satellite. The Device features motor driven gears for horizontal and vertical adjustment of the antenna to the proper desired elevation and direction. The aim of the antenna is controlled by an on board computer programmed to use information from one or all of a number of position communicating devices including an accelerometer, a keypad for entering pre determined position codes, an magnetometer, or a global positioning locator or GPS device. Software containing logarithms using information from the positioning devices calculate the optimum elevation and direction for the antenna to communicate with the satellite and activate the motors to adjust the satellite.
