  • Patent number: 11005342
    Abstract: The Spiral Helix Electromagnetic Linear Pulse Motor is based on the three dimensional operational design Helix Rotation Concept, where the basic helix rotation concept, is a linear axis parallel electromagnetic pulse, or wave, created by the sequential activation, deactivation, and polarity reversal, of electromagnetic constructs arranged in a linear row, forming a linear array, parallel to the driveshaft axis, with a 360 degree spiral helix magnetic construct array around/along the length of the driveshaft, magnetically interacting with the electromagnetic pulse/wave created by the linear electromagnetic array. As a result of the electromagnetic wave/pulse traversing parallel to the axis across the linear electromagnetic array and synchronizing with the spiral helix magnetic array in a sequential linear manner, the device converts electromagnetic energy into continuous useful rotational mechanical energy.

  • Publication number: 20200235644
    Abstract: A spiral helix electromagnetic linear pulse motor includes a rotor, having a driveshaft; a first spiral magnetic core surrounding the rotor; linear electromagnetic assemblies surrounding the rotor, each having wire coils; and a second magnetic core; the wire coils surrounds the second magnetic core; linear support beams; connection joints; the linear support beams and linear electromagnetic assemblies alternate in positions around the rotor, thereby encompassing the rotor; the connection joints secures the linear support beams to the linear electromagnetic assemblies; a linear magnetic pulse travels down the linear electromagnetic assemblies parallel to the first magnetic core; the traveling of the linear magnetic pulse rotates the rotor; and rotation of the rotor creates rotational mechanical energy to be transferred via the driveshaft.

  • Patent number: 10084709
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a transmission schedule module in at least one of a memory or a processing device that can select, at a first time, a data unit to send to a network device based at least in part on a value of a transmission rate counter indicating that the network is in a first state. The transmission schedule module can receive, at a second time, an indication of a number of buffers associated with the data unit and can calculate a size estimate of the data unit based on the number of buffers and a capacity associated with each buffer. The transmission schedule module can calculate at a third time, a temporary transmission rate count and can send a signal to transition the network device from the first state to a second state if the temporary transmission rate count meets a criterion.

  • Patent number: 9584428
    Abstract: An apparatus for increasing scheduling efficiency in network devices may include (1) at least one memory device that stores at least one data chunk included in a packet, (2) a scheduler device that (a) schedules transmission of the packet that includes the data chunk and (b) issues a request to transmit the packet based at least in part on the scheduled transmission, and (3) a packet-delivery device that (a) receives the request to transmit the packet from the scheduler device, (b) prepares the packet for transmission at a faster rate than the scheduler device schedules the transmission of the packet, and then (c) facilitates transmitting the data chunk included in the packet to a computing device. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 6781313
    Abstract: A capacitor includes a conductive tube, covered by insulating material and a layer of conductive material located at the central part of the tube. The geometry presents a low inherent inductance and a continuous, distributed conductance. The capacitor may be used as a bypass capacitor in an IOT amplifier to reduce stray and leakage high frequency radiation, in one amplifier being located within the inner wall of an annular input cavity.
