Filed:

Jun 11, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/879820

Inventors:

David A. Zornes - Redmond WA

Assignee:

Hexablock, Inc. - Sammamish WA

International Classification:

E04C 254

US Classification:

527821, 527831, 5278415, 527941, 52 791

Abstract:

A building structure offset uses hexagon structures assembled in an offset layering architecture to construct walls, floors and roofs. Hexagon building structures include interior panels adhered to both sides of a foam core. The structures also include radial cutouts the corners for offset layering assembly with another structure. Peg retainers selectively secure the hexagon building structures together. Fastening holes provide fastener locations for screwing or bolting through the layers of the hexagon structures. The holes align with an offset layer of hexagons when assembled in the axial direction. Conduit holes are selectively located depending on the fastening technique selected. The system includes five derivatives of hexagon building structures and a header, providing square, triangular, and curved geometries when assembled. Since hexagon buildings are built from hexagon building structures without customization, hexagon buildings can be rebuilt, modified, or recycled using the same materials.

International Classification:

Abstract:

A molecular sieve apparatus and magnetic/adsorbent material composition facilitate molecular adsorption and separation using a magnetic field to hold, move, cool, and/or heat an adsorbent that is bonded to magnetic materials that are moveable by a magnetic field. An adsorbent is bonded to a soft magnetic material with a binder into a powder composite material adsorbent attractable by a magnetic field (magnetoadsorbent ). Magnetoadsorbent functions to adsorb and desorb working substances, causing a molecular separation; thereby increasing the efficiency of the adsorption cycle by moving the adsorbent to a location that optimally processes the adsorbent Magnetic field manipulation of adsorbents enables delivery of molecules to locations within systems. Magnetoadsorbents of the present invention further increase the efficiency of the adsorption cycle by combining materials with functions including: catalyst, buoyancy, suspension, magnetic heating, and sinking in liquid.

Appl. No.:

12/307585

Inventors:

David Allen Zornes - Sammamish WA, US

International Classification:

E21B 43/24

US Classification:

166309, 1662721, 166302, 166371

Abstract:

A plume of combined gases are infused into hydrocarbon-bearing formations, “inert” as the major gas and “reactive” as the minor gas, where the minor gas reacts with hydrocarbons to fully saturate hydrocarbons with supercritical fluid, which migrate hydrocarbons out of formations, even at great distances from the regulated fuel cell source. Coal, tar sands, petroleum-contaminated soil, and/or oil wells that have lost gas pressure can also be desorbed by this in-situ method.

Abstract:

A molecular sieve apparatus and magnetic/adsorbent material composition that facilitate molecular absorption and separation using a magnetic field to hold, move, cool, and/or heat a magnetoadsorbent composed of an adsorbent () that is bonded to a magnetic material () by a binder (). The ability to move the magnetoadsorbent using a magnetic field increases the efficiency of the absorption cycle, because the magnetoadsorbent can be moved to a location in the cycle having the most optimized conditions.

Abstract:

A hexagon building structure offset layering system uses hexagon structures assembled in an offset layering architecture to construct building walls, floors, roofs, and other structures. Hexagon building structures () include interior panels () and () that are adhered to both sides of a foam core (). The structures () also include radial cutouts () at each corner for offset layering assembly with another structure (). Peg retainers () selectively secure the hexagon building structures () to one another. Six alignments fastening holes () are equidistantly spaced and located on interior panels () and (). The holes () provide fastener locations for screwing or bolting through the layers of the hexagon. The holes () align with an offset layer of hexagons when assembled in the axial direction. Conduct holes () are selectively located depending on the fastening technique selected. The hexagon system includes five derivatives of hexagon building structures () and a door or window header, providing square, triangular, and curved geometries when assembled. Since hexagon buildings are built from hexagon building structures () without customization, hexagon buildings can be rebuilt, modified, or recycled onto a like building using the same materials.

US Classification:

Abstract:

A bearing has rolling elements separated by floating spacer elements. Some of the floating spacer elements provide solid lubricant for lubricating the bearing. Other floating spacer elements may be non-lubricating. The lubricant-providing elements are alternated with the non-lubricating elements to maintain the alignment and spacing of the rolling elements, thereby promoting proper operation of the bearings throughout the life of the lubricant.
