US Patent:

6923072, Aug 2, 2005

Filed:

Jan 8, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/338447

Inventors:

Mark Peter Modera - Piedmont CA, US
Robert Hageman - Austin TX, US
Brian Farmer - Indianapolis IN, US

Assignee:

Carrier Corporation - Syracuse NY

International Classification:

G01F001/00

US Classification:

73861

Abstract:

A fan powered by a controlled external energy source and a flow measurement device measure the airflow exiting or entering grilles/registers of an HVAC system without impeding the airflow being measured. A flow straightening element is preferably employed to overcome any effects of a non-uniform or swirled airflow profile on the fan. Preferably, the RPM of the fan is measured to determine the airflow. The RPM/flow calibration of the fan is insensitive to pressure differentials or the fan is a pressure-sensitive fan submitted to appropriate pressure differentials. Alternatively, the voltage or current supplied to the external energy source is used to determine the airflow. Finally, the pressure differential across the flow straightening element can be measured to determine airflow, eliminating the impact of pressure differential across the flow measurement device and fan.

Appl. No.:

10/369448

Inventors:

Robert Hageman - Austin TX, US

International Classification:

A01K073/00

US Classification:

043/010000

Abstract:

A wild game desensitization system and associated method for desensitizing wild game to the perceptible evidence of presence present at a hunting site. The system includes scent dissemination, sound generating, and movement generating systems, all associated with a mannequin for conditioning game to human presence, and thereby reducing the deterrent effect of actual human presence after the system has been at such hunting site for an extended period of time.

Inventors:

Robert Hageman - Austin TX, US

International Classification:

G06F017/60

US Classification:

705014000

Abstract:

The invention is of a novel business method for presenting pre-recorded promotional presentations to retail consumers at the point of sale. The system plays a short consumer message upon activation by the consumer and educates the consumer about some aspect of the product for sale. This novel business method is a way for marketers to make individualized contact with the consumer at the point of sale without the use of sales personnel.

Appl. No.:

7/780956

Inventors:

Robert Hageman - Austin TX

International Classification:

E04D 335

US Classification:

52408

Abstract:

A decking or sheathing material for roofing includes a sheet of plywood or OSB with a reflective layer of foil material adhered thereto, the foil material including a layer of metallic foil such as aluminum and a kraft paper backing. The roof decking is fastened to rafters in a typical roof structure with the foil facing downwardly and exposed to air. A machine for applying the foil material to sheets of plywood includes a conveyer belt table for conveying the plywood sheets in succession, an adhesive roller for uniformly applying a layer of adhesive to the upwardly facing surfaces of the plywood sheets and a roller for pressing the foil material onto the adhesive-coated surfaces of the plywood from a supply roll.
