US Patent:

6401631, Jun 11, 2002

Filed:

Jun 7, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/589989

Inventors:

Brian Kane - San Francisco CA
Brian Graham - San Francisco CA
Mark Kapka - San Francisco CA

Assignee:

Falcon Products, Inc. - New Port TN

International Classification:

A47B 916

US Classification:

108116, 108127, 10814719, 108 12, 108 19

Abstract:

A folding table is provided with a foldable leg structure. The legs fold between a first working position and a second stored position. As the legs move towards the stored position, a pair of wheels associated with the legs structure are moved into operative position, enabling the table top to be rolled easily to storage.

Appl. No.:

11/983972

Inventors:

John Arthur Fee - Garland TX, US
Brian L. Graham - Carrollton TX, US

Assignee:

Advanced Battery Management, LLC - Irving TX

International Classification:

H02J 7/00
H02J 7/04
G01N 27/416
G08B 21/00

US Classification:

320131, 320132, 320149, 324426, 3406361, 34063621

Abstract:

A system and method adapted to rejuvenate batteries at or near the resonant frequency of the battery. The present invention takes a battery and applies a modulated current charging signal to increase battery performance. A resonant signal is adapted to re-train and adjust battery materials for proper operation. By repeated charge/discharge cycling, battery memory decreases and/or battery capacity increases, thereby improving the battery capacity.

Appl. No.:

12/148707

William Stephen Hart - Plano TX, US
Brian L. Graham - Carrollton TX, US

Assignee:

Advanced Battery Management, LLC - Irving TX

International Classification:

H02J 7/00

US Classification:

320137

Abstract:

A battery charger with a fixed frequency charging signal at or near the resonant frequency of the battery to be charged is presented. The present invention utilizes a microprocessor to modulate a current source at or near the resonant frequency of the battery to be charged without the use of a PLL. To simplify conventional modulated battery chargers, the PLL or other methods of phase correction are removed, reducing most of the calculation requirements for adjusting the phase angle, thereby reducing the piece count and ultimately cost and complexity. The result is a solution wherein charging occurs at or near the resonant frequency of the battery, and although suboptimal, the results are superior to traditional charging methods.

International Classification:

A01N 57/18
A01N 25/04

US Classification:

504206000, 504365000

Abstract:

Non-aqueous, oil-continuous microemulsions and methods of making such microemulsions are provided. The non-aqueous, oil-continuous microemulsions comprise at least one oil component, at least one non-aqueous polar solvent component, at least one amphiphilic material component, and at least one solubilized polar compound component. The solubilized polar compound can be a polar-acidic agrochemical complex such as glyphosate. The microemulsions can be applied by either conventional mechanical, non-electrostatic or by electrostatic LV or ULV techniques, such as, for example, electrohydrodynamic spraying, and exhibit enhanced pesticidal activity.

Appl. No.:

12/150804

Inventors:

William Stephen Hart - Plano TX, US
Brian L. Graham - Carrollton TX, US
John Arthur Fee - Garland TX, US

International Classification:

H02J 7/00

US Classification:

320150

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for acquiring battery temperature measurements using stereographic thermal imaging sensors or a simple single thermal imaging sensor which can detect increases in battery heat within the field of view of any single thermal sensor, or any combination of a plurality of thermal imaging sensors is presented. Infrared Detection (ID) using the thermal imaging sensor (pyrometer) is used to focus on certain parts of a housing thereby providing an ability to “see through” or “partially see through” the battery housing to battery cells enclosed by the battery housing. Advantageously, this affords the unique capability of measuring the battery temperature before heat propagates from an individual battery cell or a plurality of battery cells to the battery housing, allowing faster heat gradient detection. Moreover, universality of battery temperature monitoring is achieved by elimination of proprietary communication between the manufacturer of the battery and the charger.
