US Patent:

20050268881, Dec 8, 2005

Filed:

Feb 18, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/060790

Inventors:

Michael O'Connor - Lincoln CA, US

International Classification:

F02B053/00

US Classification:

123245000

Abstract:

There is disclosed a rotary internal combustion engine, which is a symmetrical engine having three moving parts which are a blocking rotor, the intake compression rotor, and the power exhaust rotor and matching bores in the engine block makes the engine relatively simple to construct, efficient, and reliable due to the lack opposing dynamic forces and few moving parts.

Appl. No.:

13/629068

Inventors:

Charles Becze - Oakville CA, US
Michael J. O'Connor - Gurnee IL, US

Assignee:

Z124 - Georgetown

International Classification:

G06F 1/16
H05K 13/00
H05K 13/04

US Classification:

36167927, 29434

Abstract:

A handheld computing device can include a substantially rectangular first screen having a front surface, a rear surface, and a beveled edge extending between the front and rear surfaces of the first screen and a substantially rectangular second screen rotatably connected to the first screen so that the device is foldable between an open position and a closed position, the second screen having a front surface, a rear surface, and a beveled edge extending between the front and rear surfaces of the second screen. When the device is in the closed position, the first and second screens are positioned back-to-back and the beveled edges of the first and second screens angle inwardly toward the other respective screen to provide an angled surface configured to facilitate opening the device.

Appl. No.:

17/379235

Inventors:

MICHAEL FRANCIS O'CONNOR - LINCOLN CA, US

International Classification:

F02B 55/14

Abstract:

The Rotary Roller Motor (RRM) is a four cycle rotary internal combustion engine that uniquely overcomes many of the drawbacks of other rotary type engines, by having the Rotor ‘roll’ around the inside of the engine block, rather than scraping it. This is accomplished with a two part rotor. The inner part of the rotor is composed of a Rotor Shaft (RS-) with an Offset Circular Lobe (OCL-) rigidly attached to it. The Outer Rotor (OR-) fits symmetrically around the Offset Circular Lobe, with Inter Rotor Bearings (IRB-) between the two to allow free movement. The four cycles are separated by two barriers; the Compression/Power Barrier (CPB-), and the Exhaust/Intake Barrier (EIB-). Compression is controlled by two non-reversing barriers, the Non-reversing Compression Barrier (NCB-) and the Compression Hold Barrier (CHB-), on either side of the Combustion Chamber (CC-).
