Multi-Rotor Fluid Turbine Drive With Speed Converter

US Patent:
2012007, Mar 29, 2012
Filed:
May 28, 2010
Appl. No.:
13/375374
Inventors:
Faruk Bursal - Lexington MA, US
Assignee:
SYNKINETICS,INC. - Framingham MA
International Classification:
F03D 9/00, F03B 13/00
US Classification:
290 55, 290 54
Abstract:
Compact and highly efficient multi-rotor fluid turbine drive with speed converter for provision of a coaxial arrangement of multiple rotors driving one or more input shafts of the turbine. The relative speed of the various rotors can be predetermined and regulated during operation. Synkdrives are used with the blades to allow the blades to rotate at different speeds.

Robotic Vacuum

US Patent:
2012031, Dec 13, 2012
Filed:
Apr 30, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/460347
Inventors:
Faruk Halil Bursal - Lexington MA, US
Richard Joseph Therrien - Duxbury MA, US
Russell Walter Morin - Woburn MA, US
International Classification:
A47L 9/00
US Classification:
15347
Abstract:
An autonomous mobile robot comprise: a chassis having a drive system in communication with a control system; a cleaning head assembly having a lower cage and mounted to the chassis; a debris collection bin mounted to the chassis; a vacuum airway having a vacuum inlet and an airway outlet positioned adjacent the debris collection bin, and configured to deliver debris from the cleaning head assembly to a debris collection bin, the vacuum airway extending between the cleaning assembly and debris collection bin and being in fluid communication with an impeller disposed within the debris collection bin; and a cleaning head module connected to the chassis and having a front roller including a front shape-changing resilient tube and an adjacent rear roller including a rear shape-changing resilient tube rotatably opposing therewith beneath the vacuum inlet.

Robotic Vacuum

US Patent:
2012031, Dec 20, 2012
Filed:
Apr 30, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/460261
Inventors:
Faruk Halil Bursal - Lexington MA, US
Richard Joseph Therrien - Duxbury MA, US
Russell Walter Morin - Woburn MA, US
International Classification:
F16C 13/00, A47L 9/00
US Classification:
15319, 492 33
Abstract:
An autonomous coverage robot includes a chassis having forward and rearward portions. A drive system is mounted to the chassis and configured to maneuver the robot over a cleaning surface. A cleaning assembly is mounted on the forward portion of the chassis and has two counter-rotating rollers mounted therein for retrieving debris from the cleaning surface, the longitudinal axis of the forward roller lying in a first horizontal plane positioned above a second horizontal plane on which the longitudinal axis of the rearward roller lies. The cleaning assembly is movably mounted to the chassis by a linkage affixed at a forward end to the chassis and at a rearward end to the cleaning assembly. When the robot transitions from a firm surface to a compressible surface, the linkage lifts the cleaning assembly from the cleaning surface.
