Mar 7, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/801347
Inventors:
Mark Oudshoorn - Bradenton FL

R. Glenn Akhavein - Bradenton FL
Assignee:
Viking Technologies, Inc. - Sarasota FL
International Classification:
G10G 702
US Classification:
84454, 84455
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for automatically tuning a stringed instrument including the steps of inducing a signal on a string under tension to generate a resonance signal having an amplitude from the string and adjusting tension of the string in response to the amplitude of the resonance signal. The present invention also provides a system for automatically tuning a stringed instrument including a string, tensioning means operably attached to one end of the string for tensioning the string, and a processor for driving the tensioning means to induce a signal on the string and generate a resonance signal having an amplitude from the string and for adjusting tension of the string in response to the amplitude of the resonance signal.

Assignee:
Viking Technologies, L.C. - Sarasota FL
International Classification:
H02K 4108
US Classification:
310328
Abstract:
An apparatus for use in an application including at least one of clamping and valving. The apparatus includes a support structure and actuator means for operating the support structure between a rest position and an actuated position. In one embodiment, the actuator means is a piezoelectric device and the support structure is a single piece which is a mechanically active element of the apparatus.

10/370990
Inventors:
Jeff Moler - Sarasota FL
Mark Oudshoorn - Bradenton FL
R. Glenn Akhavein - Bradenton FL
Mark Woozley - Valrico FL
Michael Alexy - Snead Island FL
Assignee:
Viking Technologies, L.C. - Sarasota FL
International Classification:
H01L 4108
US Classification:
310328
Abstract:
The present invention provides an apparatus having at least one pair of opposing surfaces formed on a support structure for movement relative to one another and an actuator operably engaging the support structure for driving the at least one pair of opposing surfaces relative to one another in response to an electrical activation of the actuator. Preferably, the actuator is a piezoelectric device. The apparatus can be adapted for clamping and/or valving applications.

Linear Motor Having Piezo Actuators

View page
US Patent:
6836056, Dec 28, 2004
Filed:
Feb 5, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/777478
Inventors:
Mark Oudshoorn - Bradenton FL
Jeff Moler - Sarasota FL
R. Glenn Akhavein - Bradenton FL
Mark Woozley - Valrico FL
John Blatt - Jackson WY
Assignee:
Viking Technologies, L.C. - Sarasota FL
International Classification:
H01L 4108
US Classification:
310328
Abstract:
The present invention provides an apparatus for moving a member including a first clamp assembled to a fixed surface for selectively clamping the member and a second clamp moveable with respect to the first clamp for selectively clamping the member. A piezo actuator is disposed between the first and second clamps for moving the member in response to expansion of the actuator. Resilient means bias the second clamp toward the first clamp.

Apparatus And Method For Charging And Discharging A Capacitor

View page
US Patent:
6979933, Dec 27, 2005
Filed:
Jul 17, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/621797
Inventors:
Mark Oudshoorn - Parrish FL, US
Donald Vanderslius - Sarasota FL, US
Assignee:
Viking Technologies, L.C. - Sarasota FL
International Classification:
H03H009/125
H03H009/13
H02N002/00
US Classification:
31031603, 310306, 31031601, 318116, 318117, 320166
Abstract:

Accurate Fluid Operated Cylinder Positioning System

View page
US Patent:
7021191, Apr 4, 2006
Filed:
Jan 23, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/763500
Inventors:
Jeff Moler - Sarasota FL, US
Mike Alexy - Sarasota FL, US
Mark Oudshoorn - Parrish FL, US
Assignee:
Viking Technologies, L.C. - Sarasota FL
International Classification:
F15B 11/10
US Classification:
91393, 91397, 91433
Abstract:
A position control system is used for controlling a fluid operated cylinder having at least one fluid chamber defined by a piston located within a housing for movement between first and second end limits of travel. The system includes at least two electrically actuated proportional flow control valves connected to each port of the cylinder for selectively and proportionally controlling fluid flow into and out of the at least one chamber. At least one pressure sensor is provided for measuring fluid pressure with respect to each chamber. At least one discrete position sensor is located adjacent a midpoint of the cylinder for sensing a discrete centered position of the piston. A controller includes a program and is operably connected for controlling actuation of the at least two valves in response to pressure measured by the at least one pressure sensor and location measured by the at least one position sensor.

Temperature Compensating Insert For A Mechanically Leveraged Smart Material Actuator

View page
US Patent:
7132781, Nov 7, 2006
Filed:
Jul 3, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/613138
Inventors:
Jeff Moler - Sarasota FL, US
John A. Bugel - Largo FL, US
Mark Oudshoorn - Parrish FL, US
Assignee:
Viking Technologies, L.C. - Sarasota FL
International Classification:
H01L 41/08
US Classification:
310328
Abstract:
An apparatus having a smart material actuator, a support structure and at least one temperature compensating material insert, either externally mounted to the support structure, integrally formed with the support structure, or any combination thereof. The apparatus includes a mechanically leveraged electrically stimulated smart material. The support structure and actuator are susceptible to the effects of differences in thermal coefficients of expansion of the materials used in the construction. The smart material typically displaces less than 0. 001 inches and is leveraged up to fifty times to obtain useful movement. The temperature effect on the smart material is therefore leveraged and amplified producing undesirable motion in the apparatus with ambient and/or operating temperature changes. A method for dimensioning and placement of a compensating insert with respect to the support structure provides an accurate and cost effective compensating insert.
