Appl. No.:

12/740449

Inventors:

Franklin G. Reick - Mahwah NJ, US

Assignee:

BRIAREOS, INC. - MAHWAH NJ

International Classification:

B63B 35/81
C08J 3/20
B05D 1/36
C09D 127/18

US Classification:

441 68, 523351, 4274071, 524546, 280610, 206579

Abstract:

An article of manufacture comprises a substrate which defines the shape of the article and which comprises a sliding surface adapted for sliding over the surface of snow or over ice or over water, which sliding surface is coated with an oxidation-resistant hydrocarbon wax coating which is long lasting and renders the sliding surface near super-hydrophobic and thus lowers the sliding drag of the sliding surface on snow, ice or water over which the substrate is adapted to be slid.

Appl. No.:

7/301480

Inventors:

Franklin G. Reick - Westwood NJ

International Classification:

H01D 1200
H01L 3912

US Classification:

501 83

Abstract:

A method for fabricating a high-temperature ceramic superconductor having a Y-Ba-Cu-O or other copper-oxide composition of comparable properties so as to render the ceramic porous to define interlaced diffusion channels throughout the entire body of the ceramic. As a consequence, oxygen, an essential component thereof, will in the course of firing the ceramic, diffuse throughout the interior of the body and thereby interact and become integrated with the crystal structure of the ceramic to form a superconductor having superior properties. The resultant porous ceramic body may be used as a superconductive device, or it may be ground into particles and dispersed as a filler in a binder acting as a plastic agent that can be extruded, molded, or otherwise shaped to create a Meisner-effect shield, a cylindrical superconductive bearing or other superconductive structure.

International Classification:

H01F 100
H01F 500
H01F 2728

US Classification:

335216

Abstract:

An iron-free transformer in which electrical energy is transferred from a primary winding to a secondary winding without any electrical connection or inductive coupling therebetween. The transformer includes an iron-free conductive closed loop having input and output sections. Coiled about the input section to form the primary winding is a solenoidal flux tube whose ends are the input terminals of the transformer. Coiled about the output section is a solenoidal flux tube whose ends are the output terminals of the transformer. When the input terminals are connected to an alternating current source, the lines of flux in the electromagnetic field created by the primary flux tube winding do not intercept the secondary flux tube winding, but induce alternating current in the input section which is continuously circulated in the loop and flows through the output section thereof. The alternating current flowing through the output section induces an electromotive force in the secondary flux tube winding, causing an alternating current to flow in a load connected to the output terminals.

US Classification:

273109

Abstract:

A toy, game or other play device wherein a trackway, slide, maze or other play surface is coated with superhydrophobic material that is highly water repellent, whereby a drop of water applied thereto forms into a ball that can then be manipulated by a player to carry out predetermined play activities. Alternatively, a tiny vehicle or other toy body having a hydrophilic coating thereon may be wetted with water and placed on the super-hydrophobic surface whereby the slightest force applied thereto causes the body to skim at high speed over the surface. The toy body may be in the shape of an arrow which can be caused to move along the playing surface, when tilted, and come to rest at a particular number, word or symbol provided on the playing surface.

Inventors:

Franklin G. Reick - Westwood NJ

International Classification:

G01L 704

US Classification:

73418

Abstract:

A direct-acting pressure sensor of the elastic type capable of operating effectively in a very low pressure range. The sensor includes a flexible bladder of non-metallic material anchored at one end to a fluid input socket which communicates with the internal chamber of the bladder, the closed end of the bladder having an eyelet therein through which extends a spring wire. One end of the wire terminates at the socket while the free end thereof functions as a scale pointer. When fluid is fed to the bladder through the input socket, the bladder, which in the absence of pressure is coiled to assume a C-shaped configuration, is caused to uncoil to an extent determined by the applied pressure. The wire engaged by the uncoiling bladder is caused to deflect to provide a scale reading indicative of pressure.

Abstract:

A hybrid lubricant in which a stabilized, colloidal dispersion of solid lubricant particles (PTFE) is uniformly dispersed in a fluid lubricant carrier including a small amount of halocarbon oil. When the hybrid lubricant is diluted with a major amount of a conventional fluid lubricant, it functions in the environment of rubbing surfaces and reacts therewith to develop a layer of solid lubricant on these surfaces whereby the surfaces then have the benefit of both solid and fluid lubrication, thereby minimizing friction under all operating conditions regardless of their severity.
