20080245333 | Four stroke engine with a fuel saving sleeve - A four stroke engine with piston strokes all of equal length whereby the intake stroke displacement and the compression stroke displacement are smaller than the expansion stroke displacement and the exhaust stroke displacement. This is accomplished using the fuel saving sleeve that has a projection on one end. A magnetic force is used to keep the fuel saving sleeve at the top of the engine cylinder during the intake and compression strokes. This makes the sleeve act as an air displacer during the intake and compression strokes. The projection transfers the pressure of burning gases on the sleeve to the piston during the expansion stroke. It also transfers force from the piston to the sleeve during the exhaust stroke. This makes the sleeve act as an enlargement of the piston during the expansion and exhaust strokes. | 10-09-2008 |
20100269502 | External combustion engine - In the “External Combustion Engine” fluid stored in a compressed fluid tank is released, and then heated by a synchronized heat exchanger. Heat is added at constant volume in a series of heaters and pre-heaters. The last heater is immediately above the power piston while the power piston is at the top of its stroke. Adiabatic expansion takes place and produces power output. Energy from the compressed fluid tank produces power output. Adiabatic expansion again takes place, and produces power output all the way to complete expansion. The spent fluid is exhausted through the heat exchanger, cooled, compressed, and stored in the compressed fluid tank. The pre-heaters heat all the fluid in the pre-heaters at constant volume and any number of pre-heaters can be used thereby providing unlimited time to transfer heat into the engine. | 10-28-2010 |

20110218963 | Partial Item Change Tracking and Synchronization - Embodiments herein change the way item syncing is handled and tracked between two devices. Changes to items are tracked in accordance with well defined property groups and each group is tracked independently of the other. For example, one group could contain large data items, e.g., attachments, while another group could include highly volatile properties like a follow-up flag. The present invention increases the sync rates between a client and a server by syncing only select portions of an item that have changed, without monitoring the change of each individual property within the item. Accordingly, if a change is made to a small data property (e.g., follow-up flag) on a relatively large email message, such change will not trigger a large download to a client running under a cached mode, nor will there be a requirement for high storage and processing for tracking each individual property. | 09-08-2011 |

20080236039 | Plant growing container with internal water reservoir - This container extends the watering cycle of plants. In some cases, plants may actually be revived and become healthy even after severe dehydration. This container is designed with a water reservoir built into the bottom. Holes on the side of the container allow excess water to run out. An insert that may or may not be porous to water is placed on the bottom of the container with the round ends sitting on the shoulder. Projections from the insert may or may not project through the holes. The top of the insert forms a surface limiting plant root growth: in effect, air pruning. The soil in the void areas, on each side of the insert, wick water to the soil mass.
