| 20110157900 | Recessed lighting light bulb cover - A light cover for obscuring light bulbs in recessed lighting fixtures so as to enable the use of far less expensive incandescent light bulbs, or the more energy efficient Compact Fluorescent Lights, (CFLs), instead of the standard flood light style bulb configuration, while maintaining acceptable esthetic appeal. Cover is sized to fit within the baffle of a recessed lighting fixture, and can mount to fixture either frictionally, by a hooking system, or screwing directly to the interior baffle wall. For the frictional or hook mounting systems, covers can be installed or removed without tools, simply by holding the edge surface of the cover and pushing up, into place, or pulling down to remove. Translucent lens can be fabricated out of glass, metal grid or mesh, or other heat tolerant material that allows sufficient light transmission. | 06-30-2011 |

| 20110265493 | Thermoacoustic Apparatus With Series-Connected Stages - A thermoacoustic apparatus includes multiple thermoacoustic device stages, such as individual thermoacoustic refrigerators, connected in a looped series such that excess acoustic energy from a first stage forms a part of the input energy to the next successive stage. Each stage includes an acoustic source, a regenerator, and a plurality of heat exchangers. The stages are interconnected by transmission lines. The dimensions of the transmission lines, materials used, and the operating parameters are selected so that that excess acoustic power is communicated to a succeeding stage with a pressure phase at the back of an acoustic source of the succeeding stage such that the electric power required by the acoustic source of the succeeding stage is minimized for a given acoustic power produced by the second stage. Improved operating efficiency of the thermoacoustic apparatus is thereby provided. | 11-03-2011 |
| 20110265505 | Optimization of a Thermoacoustic Apparatus Based on Operating Conditions and Selected User Input - In a thermoacoustic refrigerator, operating temperatures, ambient temperature, and selected user input are utilized to control frequency and/or input power in order to optimize the efficiency of the thermoacoustic refrigerator operation. In a thermoacoustic heat engine, operating temperatures, ambient temperature, and selected user input are utilized to control impedance of a load to optimize the efficiency of the thermoacoustic heat engine operation. | 11-03-2011 |

| 20110025073 | Thermo-Electro-Acoustic Engine And Method Of Using Same - A thermo-electro-acoustic engine comprises a sealed body having a regenerator, hot and cold heat exchangers, an acoustic source, and an acoustic energy converter. An acoustic pressure wave is generated in a gas in the region of the regenerator. The converter converts a portion of the acoustic pressure into electrical energy. A portion of the electrical energy is used to drive the acoustic source. The acoustic source is controllably driven to produce acoustic energy which constructively adds to that of the acoustic pressure wave in the region of the regenerator. The remaining electrical energy produced by the converter is used external to the engine, such as to drive a load or for storage. The resonant frequency of the engine and the frequency of the energy output can be controlled electronically or electromechanically, and is not limited solely by the physical structure of the engine body and its elements. | 02-03-2011 |
