Patents by Inventor William W. McKelvey

William W. McKelvey 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: 10352168
    Abstract: Disclosed is an offset rotational internal combustion engine in which an outer ring rotates on a one axis and an inner disk rotates on a second offset axis. Pistons are connected to the outer ring, while cylinders and other devices for operating the engine are mounted within an inner disk that rotates on a second axis that is offset from the axis of the outer ring. The inner disk and outer ring rotate together, such that the pistons create conditions of compression and explosive expansion within the cylinders without vibrating reciprocal piston motion. A unique fuel injection system is also disclosed that provides a variable fuel pressure that is created by centrifugal forces on the fuel. Because of the rotating inner disk and outer ring, advantages are taken of centrifugal force and gravity to distribute fuel, air, oil, high-voltage current, and cooling air in the engine.

  • Patent number: 9784105
    Abstract: Disclosed is an offset rotational non-reciprocating-piston internal combustion engine in which an outer ring rotates on a one axis and an inner disk rotates on a second offset axis.

  • Publication number: 20090060285
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for generating security level ratings for individuals based upon background information of the individuals. The security level rating can be used by businesses to provide enhanced services and products. For example, airlines may offer A level flights for only those individuals having A level security ratings. Shortened security lines may be available to A level rated individuals. A wide range of information is collected on a voluntary basis. Collected information includes all information that does not violate discrimination laws. Since the information is provided voluntarily, the information does not violate privacy laws. Information provided by the individual is checked against various databases such as FBI, NIS, CIA, credit and other databases. Uniform standards for generating a security level rating are employed by the secure ID company.
