20140205436 | Sealed Rotor Valve Engine - A rotary engine powered by external heat with a gas that is reactive to temperature sealed inside a casing where a portion, of the sealed in gas is heated and expands within a chamber on one side of the engine and is separated by a partition from another portion of the gas which is cooled and contracts within a chamber on the opposite side of the engine as the heated gas pushes the partition which rotates a rotor while simultaneously the cooled gas pulls the partition and every 180° of rotation the heated gas moves over the rotor to the cooling side of the engine while the cooled gas moves under the rotor through a valve to the heating side of the engine. | 07-24-2014 |

20140077504 | VERTICAL AXIS WIND TURBINE WITH CAMBERED AIRFOIL BLADES - A wind turbine having blades that rotate in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis. A single output shaft is directly connected by one-way bearings to the driven shaft of a permanent magnet generator. This eliminates the need for a gearbox and also eliminates the need for inverters. Friction losses are further reduced by suspending the vertical shaft with magnetic bearings. Airfoils are positioned in a specific vertical design so that they cup the wind on a lower concave portion of the airfoil for self-starting capability. Stealth radar-absorbing mesh and faceted mounting structures reduce scrambling of radar returns. | 03-20-2014 |

20110233498 | Railing Assembly - An improved railing assembly is comprised of a plurality of pickets, a top rail, an inner rail and a bottom rail. The inner rail is pivotally attached to the pickets with fasteners. The fasteners are hidden from view by the top rail. Stiffeners project from the top rail and from the bottom rail. The stiffeners each either interface with another stiffener or a seat on the inner rail to provide rigidity to the assembly. The bottom of the railing assembly is substantially covered by the bottom rail. The angle between the pickets and the top rail is adjustable such that the pickets may be vertically oriented, while the top rail is parallel to a sloped terrain upon which the railing assembly is installed. | 09-29-2011 |
20110233499 | Fence Assembly - An improved fence assembly is comprised of a plurality of pickets, an inner rail and an outer rail. The pickets are vertically oriented and attached to the inner rail. The inner rail has an upper locking seat, a lower locking seat and a recess between the seats. The fasteners attaching the inner rail to the pickets have their heads entirely enclosed within the recess. The outer rail snap fits over the inner rail. The outer rail is securely attached to the inner rail, but it may slide along the inner rail. The outer rail has an upper locking tang, a lower locking tang and a tensioning wall. These components slidingly interlock with the inner rail locking seats to provide a fence assembly wherein the outer rail is slidingly attached to the inner rail and the fasteners securing the inner rail to the pickets are hidden. | 09-29-2011 |

20110267265 | SPATIAL-INPUT-BASED CURSOR PROJECTION SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Exemplary spatial-input-based cursor projection systems and methods are disclosed herein. An exemplary method includes a cursor projection system detecting spatial input provided by a user within a physical user space associated with a display screen, determining that the spatial input is associated with a request for cursor projection, and mapping the spatial input to at least one cursor position on the display screen based on at least one of a plane projection heuristic and a vector projection heuristic. Corresponding systems and methods are also disclosed. | 11-03-2011 |

20150131402 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MIXING AND COOLING A BEVERAGE - A beverage shaker for mixing ingredients, cooling the beverage, and, shaving ice and simultaneously producing shavings of flavoring ingredients and/or ice to enhance the flavor, appearance, and refreshment of the desired beverage. The beverage shaker has a tumbler, a top or cap, and a shaving tool incorporated within one of the tumbler or top of the beverage shaker. The shaving tool typically has circumferential ridges, spiral threads, or other protrusions and a pointed end to bruise any fruit added to the beverage being mixed and to create shavings from included flavor ingredients and ice. The shaving tool may be removably disposed in either the tumbler or the top. The shaving tool may have a liquid-filled hollow portion. More than one shaving tool may be commonly connected to the tumbler or top. | 05-14-2015 |
