Tractrix Valve

View page
US Patent:
6651957, Nov 25, 2003
Filed:
Mar 5, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/801969
Inventors:
John J. Wordin - Shelley ID, 83274
Eugene Chisely - Fort Smith AR, 72903
International Classification:
F16K 500
US Classification:
251312, 251309
Abstract:
A new, unique combination of the tractrix valve and the tractrix stem seal is described as an improvement over the original patents issued. The plug and the stem seal are juxtaposed large end to large end. The stem seal functions as a fluid seal and as a journal bearing. The purpose of the tractrix valve is to prevent leaks through the seat of the valve and to the outside environment past the stem seal by use of long-term self-renewing tractrix surfaces that continue to mate after continued use.

Modular Fluorescent Light Fixture

US Patent:
20050088844, Apr 28, 2005
Filed:
Oct 24, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/693404
Inventors:
John Wordin - Kualapuu HI, US
Roland Ejercito - Honolulu HI, US
International Classification:
F21S004/00
US Classification:
362217000, 362260000, 362219000, 362222000, 362346000, 362347000, 362361000
Abstract:
Disclosed is a modular fluorescent light fixture combing a hyperbolically shaped reflector with T5 fluorescent tubes. The resulting fluorescent light fixture provides adequate light levels while saving energy. Two modular fluorescent light fixtures can be combined in two ways, with tubes either parallel or perpendicular to each other, to form a troffer having unique capabilities.

Asymmetrical Compound Reflectors For Fluorescent Light Fixtures

View page
US Patent:
61647985, Dec 26, 2000
Filed:
Jun 15, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/336482
Inventors:
John Joseph Wordin - Shelley ID
International Classification:
F21V 700
US Classification:
362297
Abstract:
A spectral asymmetric compound reflector having a cross section in the form of multiple hyperbolas is disclosed. Light fixtures utilizing these reflectors provide an adequate light level, tends to eliminate shadows, save energy, and provide very agreeable illumination.

Dual Compound Reflector For Fluorescent Light Fixtures

View page
US Patent:
6170962, Jan 9, 2001
Filed:
Nov 9, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/436814
Inventors:
John Joseph Wordin - Shelley ID
International Classification:
F21V 700
US Classification:
362247
Abstract:
A specular dual compound reflector having a cross section in the form of hyperbolas is disclosed. This reflector is combined with energy saving fluorescent tubes and ballast, forming a fluorescent light fixture for the purpose of providing adequate and uniform illumination to a surface, subdue shadows, provide agreeable illumination, and resulting in substantial energy savings. Two similar configurations are disclosed.

Reflectors For Fluorescent Light Fixtures

View page
US Patent:
60072202, Dec 28, 1999
Filed:
Nov 13, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/746548
Inventors:
John Joseph Wordin - Shelley ID
Assignee:
Innovative Engineering Solutions, Inc - Idaho Falls ID
International Classification:
F21V 700
US Classification:
362296
Abstract:
A single elongated light source fixture is disclosed. The fixture, comprising a hyperbolic reflector combined with a single elongated light source such as a fluorescent tube, provides adequate levels of illumination while substantially saving energy usage compared to existing light fixtures.

Retrofit Valve Stem Seal Assembly

View page
US Patent:
56012764, Feb 11, 1997
Filed:
Feb 12, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/600403
Inventors:
John J. Wordin - Shelley ID
International Classification:
F16K 4106
US Classification:
251214
Abstract:
A retrofit valve stem seal assembly, which can be retrofitted to existing quarter-turn valves already in service, is provided. The retrofit valve stem seal assembly is added to the valve stem by inserting a valve stem adaptor onto the valve stem and firmly attaching the adaptor to the valve stem. The inner surface of the valve stem adaptor fits on the valve stem. To prevent leaks between the valve stem adaptor and the valve stem, "O" rings are installed in the valve stem adaptor to bear against the valve stem. A rotatable valve stem adaptor includes a sliding tractrix surface for sliding contact with a stem packing. The stem packing includes a complementary tractrix surface for contacting the sliding tractrix surface on the valve stem. Wear between the contacting surfaces is uniform at all points of contact between the sliding tractrix surface and the complementary tractrix surface, creating and maintaining a dynamic seal. The stem packing also includes an outer cylindrical surface for contacting a complementary cylindrical surface of the valve bonnet creating and maintaining a static seal.
