US Patent:

56787847, Oct 21, 1997

Filed:

Jan 10, 1995

Appl. No.:

8/391171

Inventors:

Preston F. Marshall - Manassas VA
Mel Chaskin - Clifton VA

Assignee:

Vanguard Research, Inc. - Fairfax VA

International Classification:

B64G 100
B64G 164

US Classification:

246 2

Abstract:

A space vehicle has two stages: one containing an air motor; the other containing a rocket propellent motor. After the space vehicle has been launched, flexible wings such as parafoils can be used to recover stages of the space vehicle. In addition, flexible wings such as a parafoil can be used to aid in the delivery payload in the second stage into its orbital state.

Appl. No.:

8/861111

Inventors:

Rex Ingalls - Virginia Beach VA
John Kantak - Alexandria VA
Mel Chaskin - Clifton VA

Assignee:

Vipur - Fairfax VA

International Classification:

B03C 502

US Classification:

204664

Abstract:

An electrostatic fluid filtration system of the present invention is designed to remove contaminants from liquids thereby refreshing their functionality and extending their useful life. This system reduces to commercial practice a myriad of partially attained and less efficient techniques of filtration by focusing upon economic, environmental, and health factors as well as simplicity of manufacture, use and maintenance. Several generic embodiments are identified for cooking oils, fuels, lubricants and solvents, all of which have been successfully demonstrated in commercial operating environments. Proven magnetic and electrostatic phenomenologies are integrated in a controlled system that is electronically and physically adaptable to the viscosity and dielectric properties of various fluids as well as contaminant characteristics.
