US Patent:

7327060, Feb 5, 2008

Filed:

Dec 30, 2004

Appl. No.:

11/027510

Inventors:

John J. Rozmus - Berwyn PA, US

Assignee:

Rozlev Corp., LLC - Media PA

International Classification:

H02K 7/09

US Classification:

310 905, 310 90

Abstract:

A magnetic bearing assembly, either radial or linear, utilizes attractive magnetic forces between inner and outer components of the assembly. The assembly includes a mechanical device for controlling relative movement between the components in first and second directions, while permitting relative movement between them in a third direction. At least one of the components, separated by a gap, has a magnetic source for creating a magnetic field extending across the gap and causing a first load in a direction opposing gravity exerted across the gap and against that component adapted to receive a supplemental load. In this way, the attractive force urges the component adapted to receive the supplemental load upward against the mechanical device, thereby at least partially offsetting the load on the mechanical device caused by the weight of the supplemental load. Either component may be the moving component or the one adapted to receive the supplemental load.

US Classification:

290 55, 310 905

Abstract:

A wind generator system includes a stationary frame, a shaft, mechanical bearings and a stator and a rotor, along with magnetic components configured to reduce or substantially eliminate various loads imposed on the mechanical bearings by the system and by wind. In particular, magnetic components at a bearing closest to the vanes of attached to the shaft act to impart a force on the shaft opposing gravity. Magnetic components at a bearing along the shaft distal from the vanes act to impart a force on the shaft opposing a bending force exerted by the shaft on the bearing at that point. Additional magnetic components act to oppose gravity adjacent the stator and rotor. Still further magnetic components act to impart a force on the shaft opposing the wind force.

Appl. No.:

10/949701

Inventors:

William Matthew Salivar - Knoxville TN, US
John Michael Rozmus - Knoxville TN, US

Assignee:

Sony Corporation - Tokyo

International Classification:

H04N 7/18
G02B 13/06

US Classification:

348143, 348335

Abstract:

A method for correlating views of two or more video camera systems includes obtaining a plurality of data point coordinate sets to represent relative positioning between the camera systems and data point objects in the environment. The views may be correlated through Interpolation or extrapolation using the obtained data point coordinate sets. Devices such as lasers may also be used to correlate views of two or more video camera systems.

Abstract:

A user may sign-on to multiple Web services with a single passphrase. All of the particular information needed to sign on to each specific Web service is stored for the user in an encrypted form by a Private Single Sign-On (SSO) Web service. This particular information is captured and retrieved automatically. The Private SSO service does not know the unencrypted forms of the user's passphrase or the user's particular information. Thus the user retains a high degree of privacy.

Appl. No.:

11/027541

Inventors:

John Rozmus - Berwyn PA, US

International Classification:

H02K 7/09

US Classification:

310090500

Abstract:

A magnetic bearing assembly utilizes repulsive magnetic forces between components, having magnetic sources, of the bearing at two or more gaps which are angled with respect to an axis of the inner component. Each gap provides force vectors in two directions, while allowing for relative movement of the components in a third direction. The gaps collectively provide a stable equilibrium in the first two directions, meaning that, in response to relative movement of the components in the first or second direction causing a decreased gap width, magnetic repulsive forces at the decreased gap width urge the components away from each other to return to equilibrium. The components of a radial magnetic bearing according to the invention move relative to one another rotationally, and the components of a linear magnetic bearing according to the invention move relative to one another longitudinally.
