Us Patents

Aeroacoustic Duster
view source
US Patent:

20110214246, Sep 8, 2011
Filed:

Feb 9, 2011
Appl. No.:

13/024072
Inventors:

Jeffrey S. Marshall - Jericho VT, US
Di Chen - Colchester VT, US
Nicholas Mario Vachon - Barre VT, US
Darren Hitt - Jericho VT, US
Junru Wu - South Burlington VT, US
International Classification:

A47L 5/14
F15D 1/00
US Classification:

15345
Abstract:

The aero-acoustic duster invention disclosed herein provides for high particle removal rate from surfaces with low energy expenditure relative to competing vacuum-based devices. The device removes particulate matter from a surface using a two-step process: 1. Acoustic radiation is used to break the adhesive bonds between dust and the surface, forcing particles into a mode where they continuously bounce up and down on the surface; and, 2. A bounded vortex is generated over the surface, with suction in the vortex center and jets for blowing air along the periphery. The jets are tilted in the tangential direction to induce vortex motion within the suction region. The vortex is said to be bounded because streamlines originating in the downward jets are entrained back into the central vortex.

US Patent:

20150349667, Dec 3, 2015
Filed:

May 29, 2014
Appl. No.:

14/290425
Inventors:

- West Henrietta NY, US
John Andosca - Fairport NY, US
Junru Wu - South Burlington VT, US
International Classification:

H02N 2/18
Abstract:

The present invention relates to an energy harvester system. The energy harvester system includes an energy harvester device, a housing comprising internal walls surrounding at least a portion of the energy harvester device, and a flexible supporting structure supporting the energy harvester device within the housing. Movement of the housing causes the internal walls of the housing, or structures connected to the internal walls, to contact the energy harvester device, whereby the flexible supporting structure and the energy harvester device move such that the energy harvester device contacts the internal walls or structures connected to the internal walls at least one additional time (or multiple times), thereby producing energy. Also disclosed is a system comprising an electrically powered apparatus and the energy harvester system of the present invention electrically coupled to the apparatus. The present invention further relates to a method of powering an electrically powered apparatus with the energy harvester system of the present invention.

US Patent:

20100072759, Mar 25, 2010
Filed:

Mar 21, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/532322
Inventors:

Robert G. Andosca - Macedon NY, US
Junru Wu - S. Burlington VT, US
Assignee:

The University of Vermont and State Agricultural College - Burlingtin VT
International Classification:

F03G 7/08
H02N 2/18
H01L 41/047
H01L 41/113
US Classification:

290 1 R, 310339, 310366, 310319
Abstract:

Vibrational energy harvesting (VEH) structures that include resonant beams each having a fundamental resonance frequency and a parametric mode frequency and including at least one piezoelectric layer for generating electrical charge in response to each of fundamental-resonance excitation and parametric-mode excitation of that beam. Circuitry is provided for harvesting the electrical charge from the resonant beam. In some embodiments, the parametric mode frequency of the beam is tuned to be close to its fundamental resonance frequency so as to increase the effective bandwidth of a VEH structure. The effective bandwidth of a VEH structure can be further increased by tuning ones of multiple parametric-mode-enabled resonant beams to slightly different fundamental resonance frequencies and parametric mode frequencies.
