Patent number: 8745934Abstract: The present invention provides a platform for supporting various equipment and/or structure which assists in isolating such structure from vibrations (“noise”) external to the platform. Generally, the platform comprises upper and lower plates, having conical depressions, upon which the upper plate supports the abovementioned structure, and the lower plate contacting surface/area upon which the supported structure otherwise would have rested. Between the upper and lower plates, a plurality of rigid, spherical bearings are placed within the conical depressions, thereby allowing the upper and lower plates to displace relative to one another. Additionally, the platform may be provided with retaining mechanisms for holding the structure to be supported, maintaining the plates together and providing additional damping effects.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2013Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Worksafe TechnologiesInventor: Zoltan A.

Publication number: 20130340902Abstract: Shock-absorbers used as wheel-spokes between wheel-hub and rigid rim, which may be lined with threaded rubber or having gripping features otherwise. It reduces rolling resistance, saving fuel. It improves drivability. The compliance of the shocks is commensurate with that of a comparable inflated tire, but optimized passively or actively circumferentially, vertically and laterally. Rubber-bushing or spoke-inclination enhances driving stability. Giant field assembled mining-truck-wheels may be produced and deployed and field-assembled quickly by common metalworking shops at fractional cost and weight. It is environmentally friendly, for hardly using or not using rubber. The gas or liquid of the shock spokes may be interconnected and cooled. Soft and hard driving may be controlled manually or by computer on the fly. It is suitable for applications ranging from bicycle wheels to aircraft landing gears. It is fireproof, bulletproof, airless and silent. It cannot bounce or skid at jumpstart or braking and on ice.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2012Publication date: December 26, 2013Inventor: Zoltan A. Kemeny

Patent number: 8413948Abstract: A dynamic kinematic mount includes three balls, a first plate, and an opposing second plate. The first plate contacts the three balls at six contact points constraining translational and rotational movement of the first plate, and the second plate contacts the three balls at six contact points constraining translational and rotational movement of the second plate. Also provided is a spacer having opposing first and second faces and three bores extending therethrough from the first face to the second face. The three balls are each disposed in one of the three bores for rotation relative to the spacer, in which the three ball project outboard of the first and second faces. The first plate is in juxtaposition to the first face, and the second plate in juxtaposition to the second face.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2004Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Inventor: Zoltan A.

Publication number: 20130037002Abstract: Disclosed is an internal combustion engine gas cycle modification process, comprising venting, which allows for some automatic gas transfer from intake to exhaust or vice versa, through the cylinder, in the compression or expansion strokes, by a second or third opening of either the intake or the exhaust valves, which is done by using a second or third auxiliary lobe on the intake or the exhaust cams, which however are much smaller than the normal lobes. Seven gas cycle modifications are explained and compared, each of which reduces NOx by 300-9,000× and cleans emission in the cylinder. On the same fuel consumption, all these modified gas cycles preserve torque and power. One however, increases high engine speed power and torque by over 70%. That may be exchanged for fuel savings. Double and triple lobe cams made the same way and cost the same as single lobe cams. It substitutes after-treatments.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2011Publication date: February 14, 2013Inventors: Zoltan A. Kemeny, Albert Fekete
