Patent
Multi-function field-deployable resource harnessing apparatus and methods of manufacture
John R. Essig,James M. Essig +1 more
TL;DR: A multi-function, field-deployable resource harnessing apparatus has, in its embodiment, an inflatable reflector apparatus comprising at least one manufactured parabolic mirror made from a pressure-deformable reflective covering of an inflated ring for focusing electromagnetic energy from radio frequency radiation (RF) through the ultraviolet (UV) radiation including solar energy as discussed by the authors.
Patent
Modular inflatable multifunction field-deployable apparatus and methods of manufacture
John R. Essig,James M. Essig +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an inflatable reflector is used for focusing electromagnetic energy from radio frequency radiation (RF) through the ultraviolet (UV) radiation including solar energy for heating and cooking, electrical power generation, enhancing the transmission and reception of radio signals, enhancing vision in low-light environments, and/or projection of optical signals or images.
Patent
Inflatable multi-function parabolic reflector apparatus and methods of manufacture
John R. Essig,James M. Essig +1 more
TL;DR: An inflatable, multifunction, multipurpose, parabolic reflector apparatus having a plurality of manufactured parabolic mirrors made from a pressure-deformable reflective covering of an inflatable ring is described in this paper.
Patent
Systems and methods for harnessing resources
John R. Essig,James M. Essig +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a concentrating reflector is proposed to provide a physical barrier at least partially surrounding a concentration of electromagnetic energy at a focal point or focal zone defined by the reflector, wherein the apparatus is further characterized as having a radiant energy-absorbing structure of one or more material processing or food-processing devices positioned in proximity to the focal point.
Patent
Consumer-driven pre-production vaccine reservation system and methods of using a vaccine reservation system
TL;DR: In this article, a consumer-driven, pre-production, seasonal vaccine reservation system for facilitating the efficient production, distribution, and/or administration of health-critical, long-production-lead-time seasonal vaccines, or other pharmacological agents is presented.
