US Patent:

46008985, Jul 15, 1986

Filed:

Mar 26, 1984

Appl. No.:

6/593485

Inventors:

Joseph T. Santos - Sunnyvale CA
Robert G. Meyer - Berkeley CA

Assignee:

The Regents of the University of California - Berkeley CA

International Classification:

H03B 536

US Classification:

331116FE

Abstract:

A one-pin crystal oscillator 20 is designed to be used as a clock generator for digital integrated circuits. Unlike the prior art, this oscillator requires only one package pin to connect the crystal as opposed to the usual two pin requirement and, except for the crystal, can be completely fabricated on a chip so as to require no other external components.

Appl. No.:

15/714572

Inventors:

Joseph Marion Santos - San Mateo CA, US

International Classification:

F03B 17/06

Abstract:

A system comprising a tunnel implement for immersion in a moving mass. Energy from the moving mass passing through said tunnel implement is converted to rotational force. A collector device is provided having open and collapsed states, wherein the open state resists the moving mass. A rotational converting device converts the rotational force to constant singular direction. An input shaft is turned bidirectionally by the rotational force and two gears driven by the input shaft in opposite rotational directions, the gears separately attached to idler gears causing output gears attached to the idler gears to engage an output shaft in a same rotational direction. A bidirectional drive motor device drives a pulley device in a predetermined direction. A sensor device senses the position of the collector device. A trigger device is configured to activate said sensor device to indicate the collector device position and state, whether opened or collapsed.

Abstract:

A system is provided comprising a tunnel for immersion in a moving mass. Energy from the mass passing through said tunnel converts to rotational force. An energy collector is provided having open and collapsed states, the open state resisting the mass. Bidirectional converter systems convert said rotational force to constant singular direction. A mechanical converter comprises an input shaft turned bidirectionally by said rotational force and two gears driven by the input shaft in opposite rotational directions, the gears separately attached to idler gears causing output gears attached to the idler gears to engage an output shaft in a same rotational direction. A hydraulic converter comprises a hydraulic pump turned bidirectionally by said rotational force. Check valves positioned between the pump and a hydraulic motor enable control of pressure and volume in one direction at the pump.

Appl. No.:

15/050115

Inventors:

Joseph Marion Santos - San Mateo CA, US

International Classification:

F03B 17/06
F03D 5/02
F03D 9/00
F03B 13/26

Abstract:

A system including at least one tunnel is configured for immersion in a moving mass. An energy collector is disposed in the at least one tunnel. The energy collector has at least an open state and a collapsed state where the collector in the open state collects at least an energy of at least a part of the moving mass passing through the at least one tunnel. Alternate activation of an actuator device joined to the energy collector and an activator joined to a weight implement alternately transitions the energy collector to the open and closed state. The alternate transition of the energy collector imparts a reciprocating motion of the energy collector and the weight implement. A cable system joins the actuators for transferring the reciprocating motion. A pulley system translates the reciprocating motion to a rotational force for driving rotational mechanisms.

Abstract:

A system includes at least two tunnels configured for immersion in a moving mass wherein a part of the moving mass passes through the tunnels. An energy collector is disposed in each of the tunnels. The energy collector has an open state and a collapsed state where the collector in the open state collects energy from the moving mass. An actuator joined to each of the energy collectors transitions the energy collector between the open state and the collapsed state. An actuator activator in each of the at least two tunnels activates the actuators where activation of the actuators results in a reciprocating motion of the energy collectors in the tunnels. A cable system joins the actuators for transferring the reciprocating motion. A pulley system translates the reciprocating motion to a rotational force wherein energy from the moving mass is transferred to the rotational force.
