20100254212 | Method for resonant-vibratory mixing - A method for mixing fluids and/or solids in a manner that can be varied from maintaining the integrity of fragile molecular and biological materials in the mixing vessel to homogenizing heavy aggregate material by supplying large amounts of energy. Variation in the manner of mixing is accomplished using an electronic controller to generate signals to control the frequency and amplitude of the motor(s), which drive an unbalanced shaft assembly to produce a linear vibratory motion. The motor may be a stepper motor, a linear motor or a DC continuous motor. By placing a sensor on the mixing vessel platform to provide feedback control of the mixing motor, the characteristics of agitation in the fluid or solid can be adjusted to optimize the degree of mixing and produce a high quality mixant. | 10-07-2010 |

When published, the information and content includes a personalized link associated with each ambassador to social network combination. Via the nature of social networks, this information is additionally redistributed into the users who are associated with those ambassadors in their social networks. As those users follow the personalized links back to the promoted information and content, the source ambassador to social network combination gets recorded and statistics about that user's viewing of the information and content are recorded. The online application records relevant statistics that the third party requires, and this information is then compiled into real time reports that detail the path that the promoted information and content traveled to drive users to the promoted information and content, as well as any resultant actions such as pages viewed, purchases made or items downloaded. | 06-19-2014 |

20100320862 | X-watt Power Motor - An X-watt Power Motor is an electric motor combined with an electricity generator that uses the motion created by the motor to generate electricity and uses the electricity from the generator to power the motor. The motor functionality replaces electromagnets with electrical transformers which are named transformer magnets. Electricity generated from common electricity collector coils in a multi-chambered motor can be combined and sent to the corresponding transformer magnet of a single chamber. The equivilent combined electrical current can then be passed to all of the common transformer magnets in every chamber and then out of the motor. The result is that each transformer magnet will receive an electrical charge that is equal to the number of chambers in the motor multiplied by the electricity generated from a single electricity collector coil. These factors combine to create a powerful electric motor that only requires electricity to be started and outputs electricity while running. | 12-23-2010 |
