The “Pillow Purifier”© is a semi-automated device for cleaning and sanitizing pillows. Bacteria, viruses, dead skin, saliva, oils, hair chemicals, fungi, dust mites and their feces, are among the common items found on the surface and within pillows when a guest is spending the night in a hotel. On rare occasions even lice or fleas.
The pneumatic pump proposed below comprises 1) Air Controller, 2) The Pumps, & 3) Hose Connections.
The pumps (Part no.1&2) are simply cylindrical hollow containers. They do not have conventional rotating or reciprocating components like an impeller, piston, bearing etc.
Recreational vessels (RVs) are often serviced in boat yards. It is very common to see boat yards with a very limited infrastructure to support an efficient workflow. In fact, some of the boat yards have challenging conditions, sometimes unsafe for workers and customers.
Between two railway rails there must be a thermal space gap to accommodate the steel track thermal expansion due to environment temperature change. When a railway car’s wheel passes this gap, it causes impact between wheel and track and causes vibration. It also causes material fatigue, equipment wear, and energy losses. What is worse,
This proposal provides a CAD driven Robotic Application for Sprayfoam/ShotCrete for the construction of various sizes of residential Monolithic Dome Buildings. The intent is to provide via Computer Aided Design a Controller interface to automate the construction process.
The three most popular hand tools used by the human race are the hammer, screw driver and ratchet wrench. Sales for these tools increase annually due to their universal appeal and usefulness. Tool sales in 2010 were $15.5B in the US and $43B worldwide according to the Freedonia Report on Power and Hand Tools.
The invention relates to some rotary valves for heat engines, pumps and compressors to replace known valves – with go forth alternative motion - from existing engines, pumps and compressors, and all installations and devices that can benefit from this solution.
The rotary valve comprises a valve block,
The Patent Pending rotary cutting Roto-Skinner RSK-185 was designed especially for armored umbilical cables used on underwater Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs). The same tool can also have applications for cables subject to great stress, such as oceanography research or mining operations.
These cables usually are constructed with outer steel strands made of high strength steel wires.
CatOne
Rudder-less Autonomous Unmanned Surface Vessel
In order to be actually autonomous, small unmanned surface vessels need to avoid getting caught by floating objects (algae, plastic bags etc.). CatOne is a family of multi-purpose catamaran-robots aimed at performing, in total autonomy or under remote control, a large spread of missions.
This system is consists of a fly wheel and a pulley connected together by a belt. As the fly wheel stores energy, it will increase the torque of motor. The fly wheel is powered by an electric motor. The wheel drives the pulley that is connected to an electric generator.
