20090255362 | Clean transfer robot - A robot with improved cleanliness for use in a clean environment is disclosed, having a uniform flow through the open interface between the clean environment and the interior of the robot housing, passing the particle generation area to an exhaust port, keeping the particles from the clean environment. The uniform flow reduces or eliminates the back flow, and further allows the scalability of the open interface to prevent particles generated from moving mechanisms within the robot housing to contaminate the clean environment. The uniform flow can be established by designing the flow dynamic, centering the exhaust port, or by restricting the flow along the elongated slot, for example, by uniformly restricting the flow along the elongated slot, or by implementing a restrictor along the elongated slot. | 10-15-2009 |

20120187685 | AIR DRIVEN ELECTRIC GENERATOR FOR CHARGING A BATTERY - An air driven electric generator with cylindrical rotors with blades longitudinally across most of the rotor used to charge a battery. Each rotor is connected to a generator/alternator that generates electricity as the rotor is rotated by airflow or wind. The rotors are positioned on a base and underneath a cover that form inlet and outlet slots that direct the airflow or wind to the blades of the rotors. The airflow or wind push against the blades to rotate the rotor continuously. As the cylindrical rotors rotate, the generators/alternators generate positive flow of electricity which is used to recharge the batteries used in a vehicle, street light, traffic light, boat, airplane, or residence. | 07-26-2012 |
20130153608 | Dosage Dispensing Cap System - A dosage dispensing cap system is configured to release a fixed amount of medication from a container as a result of a single actuation by a user. A first cap element of the system may have a first aperture and be adapted to be attached to the container, which is configured to house a multiplicity of pills of a generally uniform size, or liquid medication of a particular volume. A second cap element may be flexible, have a flange member extending generally radially outward from a diaphragm member and be disposed between the first cap element and the container. The diaphragm member may have a mouth portion, a throat portion and a cavity generally disposed therebetween. The cavity may be generally large enough to contain a fixed number of pills or a dose volume of liquid. By way of a simple actuation, the mouth portion opens and the throat portion closes, thereby allowing the cap system to release a discrete number of pills or a dose volume of liquid medication. | 06-20-2013 |
