US Patent:

42691613, May 26, 1981

Filed:

Jul 18, 1979

Appl. No.:

6/058680

Inventors:

William F. Simmons - Shillington PA

International Classification:

F02P 100

US Classification:

123620

Abstract:

An expolsion chamber including a principle which allows a method of exploding various fuel vapors other than gasoline. High electrical energy input to the system is maximized as less combustible vapors are exploded. The two unique features of the system are: 1. The timing is automatically set by standard ignition control which triggers the high energy exploding sequence. 2. Both the ignition injection and the high energy discharge are fed into the exploding chamber with the same electrode. This is possible through the utilization of a high voltage, high current diode stack. The stack is constructed, for example, of 288 diodes. The total peak inverse voltage (PIV) is about 24 kilovolts for ignition preservation and the current discharge surge is about 600 amperes. In the multiple chamber engine, one diode stack is required for each chamber. In the four chamber engine about 1,152 diodes are utilized.

International Classification:

G10L 502

US Classification:

381 51

Abstract:

The Speech Therapy Translator converts minimal manipulations to aural conversation using basic words and statements necessary for rehabilitating patients who are speech handicapped. The system is also used for language and minor utterance translation. Applications in the fields of animal sound and language translation, Linguistic Anthropology, and aids to the permanently speech-handicapped are evident. The main feature of the system is that the sight sense is not needed for fluent conversation. There are three primary modes of operation. The first mode is DC switch excitation. The switches are attached to the fingers, eyelids or convenient movable positions on the body. The second mode of operation utilizes audio microphone inputs. The microphones, with sufficient amplification, are sensitive to touch excitation. The microphones are also activated by various pulse-type sounds.
