Todd Allen Bland has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8653784
    Abstract: A method and system for solar powered charging of an electronic device is provided. Solar concentrators direct solar energy onto photovoltaic cells on an orbiting space station or a satellite in a geostationary orbit. The photovoltaic cells convert the solar energy to direct current (DC) electrical power. Energy generators convert the DC electrical power to generate energy waves, for example, microwaves. A space transmitter relays the energy waves to one or more earth stations. The electronic device transmits a locator beam indicating its current location. On receiving the locator beam, an earth station transmits the energy waves to the electronic device. A rectenna, in electronic communication with the electronic device, converts the energy waves to DC electrical power and directs the DC electrical power to a charger in electric communication with the electronic device. The charger receives the energy waves or the DC electrical power and charges the electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20120295362
    Abstract: My newly created invention consists of a means to test Synthetic Cannabanoids, By a urinalysis cup which a new reagent patch is added to the other patches being tested for drugs such as Marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamines, opiates and Heroin but not limited to the said illegal drugs. An equivalent would be a Saliva test that gives immediate results but is more expensive, hence the UA cup is more economical. The Synthetic Cannabanoid drug stays in your blood stream for approximately three days, so the need to detect it is substantial as it has proven very harmful to users as it mimic's marijuana but can be far more potent then THC, The active ingredient in Marijuana. The parent drugs of the synthetic Cannabanoids are JWH-018, JWH-073, and JWH 250 respectively and not intended to limit them to these chemicals for the purpose of testing for Synthetic Cannabanoids.

  • Publication number: 20120283614
    Abstract: A method and system for using a newly invented band-aid™ type of bandage utilizing a small Gel-Pouch beneath the gauze. When the vinyl or equivalent adhesive's bottom pull-tab is removed, an antiseptic gel, Aloe Vera, or equivalents or prescription medication prescribed according to FDA rules and regulations pertaining to such products, such as for certain wounds of a more serious nature; is removed the gel oozes out through the holes from the gel pouch and onto the gauze providing a cool and soothing relief almost immediately. It also adds healing power and provides a non-stick surface on the gauze pad. This method is not just intended to be a great band-Aid™ type bandage but can come in larger packages for burn victims. A transparent cover encases each bandage to prevent any medicine leakage and also makes it float and waterproof if gotten wet by any means.

  • Publication number: 20110000913
    Abstract: The herein invention discloses improvements to the conventional beer, soda or vegetable juice can such as tomato as well as medical or automotive such as oil cans containing fluid. The improvements consisting of one or a plurality of pull tabs on the top and the bottom of the can allowing the liquid to empty out of the cans in a matter of seconds. Prior art only shows one pull tab on the top taking the cans too long to empty for consumers that desire their beverage to flow quicker and to avoid spraying their beverage potentially getting in to the eyes of consumers and destroying property such as clothes and furniture as it is widely known consumers puncture holes toward the bottom of the can to release the liquid quicker endangering themselves and others by spraying beverage and by the sharp objects used to make the holes in the cans. My new invention will improve safety for these types of consumers furthermore if the top tab breaks the bottom pull tab will allow the can to be opened.

  • Publication number: 20090195084
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a portable cellular phone or electronic device that is powered by a recharging process that does not employ conventional methods of recharging cellular phones such as AC 110V/220V into DC power or by a solar panel connected to said cellular phone or electronic device. The new process utilizes the sun's energy rays collected by solar panels from an orbiting space station or satellite and then beamed to earth solar power stations by low density microwaves (Microwave-Beaming Technology) or alternatively laser beams which are beamed to “rectenna” rectifying Antenna receiver which converts the energy into DC current and then transmitted to cellular phones or portable digital assistants (PDA).
