| 20100314876 | WIND TURBINE SOLAR CONTROL SYSTEM - The present invention is a wind turbine solar control system. This system may be applied to various types of wind turbines that use a start-up motor or will be able to be turned efficiently using a sun powered motor. A rechargeable battery is used to hold enough power to start the propeller for a predetermined amount of time. Wind sensors will be included to determine if enough wind is present to turn the propeller on. A control box may be included to designate when to turn the motor on and off. It also controls how much to charge the battery and regulates when to stop charging. | 12-16-2010 |

| 20080226207 | Packaging device and method of using the same - A packaging device generally includes a flexible inner container, a flexible outer container, and a one-way valve in fluid communication with the inner container. Articles to be packaged are contained within the inner container, and the inner container is positioned within the outer container. When the containers are closed and pressure is applied to the outer container, ambient fluid trapped within the outer container transfers the pressure to the inner container, thereby urging fluid flow from the inner container, through the one-way valve, and out of the packaging device. | 09-18-2008 |

| 20090108491 | Mold, mold image and method for making a molded article - A mold image assembly includes a plurality of contact elements assembled in a defined space such that the contact elements are independently movable, with a first end of the contact elements collectively forming a first surface and a second end of the contact elements collectively forming a second surface. The first surface is adapted to be brought into contact with an object such that the first surface assumes an altered contour that substantially conforms to a contour of the object, and the second surface assumes a correspondingly altered contour. The contact elements are further adapted to be joined together to thereby secure the altered contour of the second surface as a mold image. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090309362 | GENERATOR UTILIZING FLUID-INDUCED OSCILLATIONS - An electrical generator including a magnetic field generator and at least one energy converter for converting energy present in fluid flows into vibrations or oscillations. The converter includes a flexible membrane having at least two fixed ends. The membrane vibrates when subject to a fluid flow. One of the electrical conductor and the magnetic field generator is attached to the membrane and configured to move with the membrane. The vibration of the membrane caused by the fluid flow causes a relative movement between the electrical conductor and the applied magnetic field. The relative movement causes a change in the strength of the magnetic field applied to the electrical conductor, and the change in the strength of the magnetic field applied to the electrical conductor induces a current flowing in the conductor. | 12-17-2009 |

| 20100308592 | ENERGY CONVERTER WITH TRANSDUCERS FOR CONVERTING FLUID-INDUCED MOVEMENTS OR STRESS TO ELECTRICITY - An energy converter for inducing vibrations of a membrane when subject to a fluid flow, and converting the vibrations into another form of energy, such as electricity. The energy converter includes at least one flexible membrane supported and/or fixed at least two points and at least one transducer. The transducer is attached to the membrane or disposed in the proximity of the membrane. When subject to a fluid flow, the membrane vibrates and creates a stress on the transducer, which induces an electrical potential. | 12-09-2010 |

| 20100096290 | Inflatable Structure for Packaging and Associated Apparatus and Method - An inflatable structure generally includes a valve formed between a pair of edge portions and an internal edge portion formed of a flexible film such that an enclosed chamber of the inflatable structure substantially envelops the internal edge portion. The valve and remainder of the inflatable structure can be formed from a single piece of flexible film using a method of manufacturing an inflatable structure from a continuous web of flexible film. A corresponding inflation device fills the inflatable structure with air and may do so without requiring heat sealing or contact between the inflatable structure and outlet of the inflation device. The inflation device may include a mechanical registration device which can engage an optional locator aperture in the inflatable structure such as to assist in temporarily locating the outlet of the source of pressurized air proximate to the valve in the inflatable structure. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100101970 | Inflatable Structure For Packaging And Associated Apparatus And Method - An inflatable structure may be formed from a single piece of flexible film using a provided method of manufacturing. The inflatable structure may include quilting seals which divide the inflatable chamber. The inflatable structure may also include an external valve opening extending through multiple layers of the flexible film. The external valve opening may further be partially defined by edge portions of the flexible film formed by folding the flexible film. The external valve opening may be configured to align with an opening in a container or an inflation aperture in a pouch so that the inflatable structure can be inflated while inside the container/pouch. A corresponding inflation device fills the inflatable structure with air and may do so without requiring heat sealing or contact between the inflatable structure and outlet of the inflation device. A hinged plate apparatus may assist in directing air into the external valve opening. | 04-29-2010 |

| 20080297119 | FLUID-INDUCED ENERGY CONVERTER WITH CURVED PARTS - An energy converter for inducing membrane vibrations of a membrane when subject to a fluid flow, and converting the vibrations into another form of energy, such as electricity. The energy converter includes at least one flexible membrane, at least one electrical conductor and at least one magnetic field generator configured to apply a magnetic field to the at least one electrical conductor. One of the electrical conductor and the magnetic field generator is attached to the membrane and configured to move with the membrane. The other one of the electrical conductor and the magnetic field generator has a curved surface bending towards the membrane. When subject to a fluid flow, the membrane vibrates and creates a relative movement between the conductor and the magnetic field, which induces a current. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090295163 | ENERGY CONVERTERS UTILIZING FLUID-INDUCED OSCILLATIONS - An energy converter for inducing membrane vibrations when subject to a fluid flow and converting the kinetic energy embedded in the fluid flow into another form of energy, such as electricity. The energy converter includes a supporting structure and multiple generator units. Each generator unit includes at least one flexible membrane, and at least one electrical conductor and at least one magnetic field generator configured to apply a magnetic field to the at least one electrical conductor, wherein one of the electrical conductor and the magnetic field generator is attached to the membrane and configured to move with the membrane. Each membrane vibrates when subject to the fluid flow and has at least two ends supported by the supporting structure. The vibration of each membrane creates a relative movement between the conductor and a magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generator, which induces a current. A power conditioning circuit is provided to condition the current. | 12-03-2009 |
