US Patent:

8222770, Jul 17, 2012

Filed:

Sep 24, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/566327

Inventors:

Jason Allen Oliver - Arcadia IN, US

International Classification:

H03K 3/00

US Classification:

307106, 307151

Abstract:

A device, system and method for generating alternating current (a/c) electricity directly from photovoltaic cells utilize an array of photovoltaic cell pairs that are each connected in anti-parallel to form an a/c junction. The system, device and method mechanically gradually exposes and shades photovoltaic cell pairs to sunlight to generate alternating current electricity at an a/c junction of the solar cell pairs. Gradually and alternately exposing and shading the two anti-parallel connected solar cells of each solar cell pair causes the amplitude and polarity of the electricity at the a/c junction to gradually rise and fall to produce alternating current electricity. The gradual, alternating exposure and shading of the two anti-parallel solar cells is accomplished by mechanically covering and exposing the solar cell pairs. This is efficiently accomplished by a rotating segmented disc positioned over an array of solar cell pairs.

Appl. No.:

10/122606

Inventors:

Jason Oliver - Arcadia IN, US

International Classification:

G05B001/00

US Classification:

137/038000, 340/689000, 340/690000, 340/669000

Abstract:

An earthquake sensor and a control system is provided for sensing the presence of an earthquake event and for shutting off the flow of at least one utility service in response thereto. The earthquake sensor and control system includes a vibration sensor for sensing vibrations caused by an earthquake. A signal generator is provided for generating a utility flow stop signal in response to an earthquake induced vibration sensed by the vibration sensor. A utility flow control is provided for stopping the flow of the utility service in response to receiving the utility flow stop signal.
