  • Patent number: 11942879
    Abstract: A circuit for cooling is disclosed. The circuit uses a pulse generator in combination with a conductor. A cooling effect of the circuit on the conductor can be used and can be used in conjunction with a Carnot or Stirling engine. A resultant energy applied to a load is larger than the energy supplied by the pulse generator due to the absorption of external energy by the conductor.

  • Patent number: 10487930
    Abstract: A drive clutch including a primary post, a fixed sheave, a movable sheave, an activation assembly is provided. The fixed sheave is statically coupled to the primary post. The movable sheave is slidably mounted on the primary post. The activation assembly is in operational communication with the movable sheave to move the movable sheave on the primary post away from and towards the fixed sheave based on a centrifugal force experienced by the drive clutch. The activation assembly includes a spider, at least one trunnion slidably mounted on a spider arm and a main activation biasing member. The at least one trunnion has opposable extending trunnion arms. A roller is rotationally mounted on each trunnion arm. Each roller is positioned to engage a ramp profile associated with a sheave post extending from the movable sheave. The main activation biasing member is positioned to assert a biasing force on the spider.

  • Publication number: 20070181620
    Abstract: A ring system that when worn by the user and attached to handheld devices, enhances the security, control and use of such devices. The ring system includes a conical ring element, a receiver, a connector, a terminal end and an anchor pad. One or more of these elements may be an integral member of the ring system depending on the method of manufacture. The ring element may be attached to the device via a receiver, a connector, a terminal end and an anchor pad. The anchor pad is attached to the back of the handheld device and the terminal end of the connector is attached to the anchor pad by means of connection. The conical ring element may be worn on the user's finger in variable positions. Thus utilized, the ring system places the handheld device in close proximity to the user's fingers and palm enhancing control, security and manipulation of the device.
