| 20110089696 | Power generating buoy - An electric power generating buoy capable of generating power by scavenging energy from ocean wave motion. The power generating buoy includes float element adapted to float up and down following wave motion and an electric generator system with a spring loaded spool mechanism adapted to drive the rotor of the electric generator. It also includes an anchor element and a tension element attached to an anchor and the spring loaded spool mechanism and adapted to spin the spring loaded spool mechanism to generate electric current when wave action causes the float element to rise relative to the anchor element. Preferred embodiments of the buoy will deliver a minimum of 100 Watts of average power from the wave motion characteristic of moderate sea state (sea state 3), with less power from slight sea state (sea state 2) and more power from higher sea states. The basic power generation scheme will rely on harnessing the mechanical energy of the wave as it repeatedly pushes the buoyant surface float against a ballast force through the distance corresponding to the wave height. | 04-21-2011 |
| 20110102233 | Active millimeter-wave imaging system - An active millimeter wave imaging system and method. The system includes a spatially distributed broadband millimeter-wave illuminating source for illuminating a field of view and a millimeter-wave imaging receiver for imaging the field of view. The subject area to be imaged is illuminated simultaneously from many different angles by the distributed source. Reflections from the subjected area are then collected and used to form images. These images in preferred embodiments are compared with passive images made without the millimeter wave illumination from the millimeter wave source. The spatially distributed illumination source in preferred embodiments includes a broadband millimeter-wave noise generator producing millimeter wave radiation at frequencies at which the passive receiver is sensitive and a large reflector. In preferred embodiments the reflector has the shape of a section of an ellipse defining two foci. | 05-05-2011 |
