US Patent:

54085764, Apr 18, 1995

Filed:

Oct 28, 1992

Appl. No.:

7/967434

Inventors:

Robert A. Bishop - Dallas TX

International Classification:

H05B 100

US Classification:

392470

Abstract:

A cabinet structure is specially adapted for receiving a plurality of IV fluid bags. When IV bags are placed inside this cabinet structure, the user turns on a power switch to begin a very specific and controlled heating cycle. A temperature indicator on the front of the cabinet allows the user to ascertain when the desired temperature has been reached. When an IV bag is desired for use, it is removed directly from the side of the cabinet through an opening approximately the size of the IV bag. A temperature sensor inside the bag compartment allows for automatic regulation of the temperature of a pad of heating filaments located along the back face of the inside the cabinet. The heating elements are covered by a rubber layer to protect the bags from melting. The cabinet structure can be fastened to any IV pole, hung on the side of an anesthesia cart or be mounted directly to a wall.

Appl. No.:

8/886576

Inventors:

Robert A. Bishop - Plano TX

Assignee:

Medical Products, Inc. - Chantilly VA

International Classification:

F25B 2102

US Classification:

62 361

Abstract:

A temperature controlled cabinet system and method enables medical items associated with particular temperature ranges to be stored and maintained within their associated temperature ranges in cabinets disposed within ambulances and other medical vehicles. The system includes a temperature sensor for measuring the cabinet interior temperature, a controller assembly for controlling system operation and two heat pumps disposed in the cabinet walls to heat or cool the cabinet interior. Alternatively, a single heat pump may be utilized to heat or cool the cabinet interior. The controller assembly includes a control console for displaying the actual cabinet temperature and entering a desired temperature range into the system. The heat pumps include a pair of heat sinks disposed about a thermoelectric device (e. g. , a Peltier chip) that heats one heat sink, while cooling the other heat sink based on voltage polarity or current flow direction applied to the device.

Appl. No.:

15/934680

Inventors:

Robert G. Bishop - Glenville NY, US

International Classification:

F03D 3/02

F03D 13/10

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to an improved vertical-axis wind turbine rotor that provides a more constant shaft power output than similar turbine rotors of the prior art. In a preferred embodiment, it provides four tiers of blade sets, with each set disposed at a different elevation than each other set. Each blade set may be offset at an angle from adjacent blade sets. A partition plate may be disposed between adjacent blade sets. The partitions provide structural stability and enhanced rotor performance characteristics.
