Patent number: 11087910Abstract: Theoretical and practical constraints disallow direct determination of the structure of the atomic nucleus. Contained herein is a magnet model of the atomic nucleus, derived from considerations of charge density, RMS charge radii, magnetic moments, and nucleon binding energy. These physical properties point to a sequential, alternating up and down quark structure modeled in the present invention by an array of magnets alternating in polarity. The summation of the pull forces of the two magnet poles is unequal, and when two such magnet arrays are placed opposite one another in magnetic potential energy barrier assembly, the two arrays repel at a distance and attract when near one another. In one embodiment, the ratio of the maximum attractive force to the maximum repulsive force very closely approximates the strong force constant 137. This invention serves as a demonstration of the Coulomb barrier for the student, and a potentially useful model for probing the forces and structure of the atomic nucleus.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2020Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Inventor: Raymond James Walsh

Patent number: 9339137Abstract: A holding apparatus for use in selectively securing an article includes a shaft having opposed first and second ends and a generally linear configuration. A first mounting member is attached to the first end of the shaft, the first mounting member including a magnet configured to attach to one of another magnet or metal surface. A second mounting member is attached to the second end of the shaft. In some embodiments, the second mounting member includes a magnet such that the apparatus may be selectively attached to a metal object. In another embodiment, the second mounting member may include a bore through the shaft configured to selectively receive a key ring.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2013Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Inventor: Wade Nelson

Patent number: 9259931Abstract: Systems and methods for pre-aligning print head(s) to alignment adapter(s) to increase print resolution of printed matter, and to reduce offline time of a printing system due to print head alignment, include the use of an alignment adapter to which a print head is pre-aligned and which includes precision alignment features which precisely engage cooperating precision alignment features on the print head carriage mounting plate of the print head carriage. Print head(s) can be pre-aligned and fine-tuned to alignment adapter(s) even while the printing system is still in print production. Pre-aligned print head/alignment adapter assemblies can then be quickly mounted on the print head carriage using the cooperating precision alignment features of the adapter and print head carriage mounting plate. Duplicate sets of print head mounting sockets can include print heads aligned at different relative offsets (e.g., half a pixel) to increase the print resolution.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2012Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: Cimpress Schweiz GmbHInventors: Jean-Michel Moreau, Harald Feistenauer, Hung Viet Ngo, Patrick Stepanek
