Analog Implementation Of Linear Transforms
US Patent:
6954423, Oct 11, 2005
Filed:
Jan 21, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/348236
Inventors:
Frank A. Tinker - Tucson AZ, US
International Classification:
H04J011/00
US Classification:
370208, 370210
Abstract:
Analog phase-shift elements connect each of a plurality of input nodes to each of a plurality of output nodes, wherein each component is adapted to produce a phase shift in a periodic signal processed therethrough. A linear transformation of a data set of discrete values of a given function provided as a set of analog signals to the input nodes is achieved by judiciously adjusting the signal amplitude produced at the output of the phase-shift components and summing the resulting output signals as required to simulate the transformation of interest.
Optimal Heat Engine
US Patent:
7441530, Oct 28, 2008
Filed:
May 16, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/129783
Inventors:
Frank A. Tinker - Tucson AZ, US
Assignee:
FSNC, LLC - Tucson AZ
International Classification:
F02B 75/32
US Classification:
1231974, 1231971
Abstract:
A conservative force coupled to the piston of a reciprocating-piston engine, refrigerator, or compressor acts to counter the pressure force on the piston that arises from the change of volume of the working substance accompanying a change in the piston position. As a result, the efficiency of the engine, refrigerator, or compressor is improved to approach the theoretical thermodynamic limit of the underlying process.
Device, Kit And Method For Use In Handling Containers
US Patent:
7454883, Nov 25, 2008
Filed:
Aug 15, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/504403
Inventors:
Robert Q. Hoyt - Tucson AZ, US
Frank Tinker - Tucson AZ, US
Frank Tinker - Tucson AZ, US
International Classification:
B65B 31/04
B67B 7/46
B67B 7/46
US Classification:
53510, 53431, 81 331
Abstract:
A device for removing a closure from a container includes a hollow needle, a piston for driving the needle into the closure and a compressed gas cartridge for driving the piston. Once the needle has been driven into the closure so that an end of the needle is inside the container, the piston can reciprocate to force air through the needle and pressurize the container in order to eject the closure. The piston can also reciprocate to evacuate air from the container through a stopper with a check valve when leftover contents of the container are to be preserved.
Self-Compensating Cylinder System In A Process Cycle
US Patent:
7610894, Nov 3, 2009
Filed:
May 25, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/807065
Inventors:
Frank A. Tinker - Tucson AZ, US
Assignee:
FSNC, LLC - Tucson AZ
International Classification:
F02B 75/18
F16C 7/06
F16C 7/06
US Classification:
1231973, 123 48 B, 123 78 E, 123 536, 123 563
Abstract:
The efficiency of a multi-cylinder engine is optimized by coupling the volume change in each cylinder to a common coordinate under conditions such that, at each point in the engine's cycle, the energy necessary to produce a differential volume change is reduced substantially to zero. Each cylinder is coupled to the common coordinate through a cam or through a variable-length connecting rod. The same efficiency optimization may be achieved with various combinations of cylinders in a two-cycle engine, a four-cycle engine, or a multi-cylinder compressor.
Actuating Mechanism For Pneumatically-Driven Artificial Heart
US Patent:
8021422, Sep 20, 2011
Filed:
May 18, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/454440
Inventors:
Frank A. Tinker - Tucson AZ, US
Assignee:
Syncardia Systems, Inc. - Tucson AZ
International Classification:
A61M 1/10
US Classification:
623 31
Abstract:
A pneumatic pump comprises two coaxial cylindrical pumping chambers, each enclosing a piston connected to the other through a partition by a tube, thereby forming a monolithic piston assembly that is driven axially by a common electrical actuator providing reciprocating motion. The volume in the bottom chamber is selected as needed to provide the desired pressure in the left ventricle of an artificial heart driven by the pump. The diameter of the tube connecting the pistons is selected such that the stroke volume of the top chamber is reduced with respect to that of the bottom chamber as needed to match the reduced pressure requirements of the right ventricle of the artificial heart. Check valves are used in each chamber to ensure venting of excess pressure during the blood ejection phase and to limit the vacuum during the fill phase.
Scotch-Yoke Mechanism For Redundant Actuation Applications
US Patent:
8070455, Dec 6, 2011
Filed:
Jul 7, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/498991
Inventors:
Frank A. Tinker - Tucson AZ, US
Assignee:
Syngardia Systems, Inc,. - Tucson AZ
International Classification:
F04B 49/00
F04B 35/02
F01B 9/00

A61M 1/10

A61M 1/10
US Classification:
417 16, 417223, 417319, 92140, 60403, 623 31
Abstract:
A primary scotch yoke and a secondary scotch yoke are coupled in opposing arrangement and rigidly attached to a linearly reciprocating element. Each scotch yoke includes a rotary actuator with a cam follower and a yoke attached to the reciprocating element. Each yoke has a cam with an open gap through which the follower may be disengaged from the cam and stopped to an idle position. The follower of the secondary scotch yoke is kept idle in a position similarly disengaged from its cam. A controller detects a failure in the primary scotch yoke, disengages the cam follower of the primary yoke from its cam, and energizes the secondary scotch yoke, thereby causing its cam follower to engage its yoke and continue to provide uninterrupted motion to the reciprocating element, in particular the portable pneumatic pump driving an artificial heart.
Automatic Soap Dispenser
US Patent:
6386390, May 14, 2002
Filed:
Dec 1, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/452592
Inventors:
Frank A. Tinker - Tucson AZ, 85740
International Classification:
B67D 508
US Classification:
222 52, 222571, 250221
Abstract:
A dispenser has a container for a liquid, a vent opening to allow air into the container, a valve to control the admission of air into the container, and a dispensing opening for the liquid to be dispensed therefrom. The dispenser is mounted with the dispensing opening at the bottom. When the valve is closed, a pressure differential is created that prevents the liquid in the container from flowing out. Upon opening of the vent valve, the pressure differential is reduced and dispensing can continue. Such a dispenser can be used to dispense fluids of varying viscosities and even nonporous solids. In one embodiment of the invention, an infrared radiation emitter and an infrared radiation detector are arranged in such a manner that, when a hand is placed below the dispenser, radiation from the emitter impinges on the hand and is reflected to the detector. Upon sensing the reflected radiation, the detector causes the valve for the vent tube to open so that the pressure differential in the container is eliminated and the liquid can be dispensed. When the hand is withdrawn, the detector no longer senses radiation from the emitter and causes the valve for the vent tube to close reestablishing the pressure differential that stops the outflow of liquid.
