This is your first tangible asset in the invention process, the Provisional Patent Draft-1. This will be your first draft that will be a guideline to producing the actual Provisional Patent submission.
Before we go into the draft writing I am again going to try to express the eminent value of rewriting text as this process of inventing is followed. This has to be done in order to advance the design and value of your invention to others, which is the end goal of the inventor. To have others want, need and feel good about using your product invention after it is reduced to practice. This includes feeling good about the price versus the value that the end users will always determine. If you do not have this focus your invention may become a bad experience for you after people who have purchased your invention express their dicontent of their purchase and want their money back.
Usually the pre marketing evaluation will determine validity of the concept and based on the assumption that what is contended and anticipated by the inventor will actually come to pass in reality, that produces a product that does what is claimed and does it for a long period of time. Since the Patent life is 20 years for a product invention of utility and service the product should be designed to last the life of the patent itself. That will add to the credibility of the inventor in the future when he or she has the idea and needs a manufacturer to make a product prototype for an invention the inventor wants to produce.
In short no independent inventor can become a success unless he or she has all the means and wearwithall to burden necessities required to produce in the trade of inventing products. The list would look like there are impossible goals to reach when independently inventing a product for others to purchase. So inventing is simply communicating an anticipated creation in text form and also communicating verbally with others in a way of learning and understanding that everyone has the right to express their own ideas and thoughts. There is no negativity in invention, a setback is only an opportunity for advancement and efficient change. It is an indicator that needs to be headed to that will potentially lead to betterment of the invention process for the inventor.
For our first draft of the provisional a product that does not exist in the real world is what we write about and the first thing an inventor should do is write a short story about the following items. If there are paragraphs written already within the text of the inventors project notebook this is the time to get them out and compile the following information in outline form.
8.- a total of time and materials to date including expences, total cash compensation dollar value.
(h) a detailed description of the invention that refers back to each drawing.
Now take this outline and begin to write your story following these examples of the first draft of the invention Exhibited as an embodiment of Monmotor FIG.1.
and reference what you anticipate your product to become and this is called the Description Of Prior Art in the draft of the Provisional Patent.
The inventor has written in his or her invention project notebook twice before evaluations on the information needed to construct the Description Of The Prior Art. Now taking the EXAMPLE 6 as read on, the claims of the invention are now drafted in their moast broadest sense. The inventor knows that product sales are a must to make his investment worth an income to keep the inventing process moving forward, gaining popularity with interested people wanting to purchase one. After reviewing this example 6 in the description of the prior art the inventor knows precisely what the invention needs to claim in order for success of the project. Therefore the claims of the invention are now written on in the form they need to be for a submission to the USPTO in a Provisional Patent form to gain the right to apply Patent Pending on the prototype product.
The claims for the provisional need only recite features however when making an invention that you are intending to Patent and license to a company for marketing it is advised that the claims be put into the provisional submission in their broadest sense. The narrowed claims that will be placed in the Patent Application are deduced from the reduction to practice.
First of all we need to start with the broadest claim, the entire invention and what it is, and including all subject matter, after all, the broadest claim in essence is actually the backbone of the invention where all the rest of the claims are written upon.
We will have to now decide which elements within the present invention are essential, and they are as follows.
The Mainframe Structure, the Primary Wheel, the hydraulically operated Variable Diameter Inverted Twin Sheave Assembly, the Fluid Drive System, the Actuating Mechanisms, and the Variable Diameter Secondary Wheels. Present within the invention in it's current embodiments are also the Drive Wheel, the Load Wheel, and the Electrical Generating and Storage System.
The Independent Claim, should read like this for the present invention Manmotor.
Clarification : I claim : Only appears once in the Patent Application and it is placed at the heading of "the set" of claims written upon within the application text of the invention. Next is 1. A human powered motor, This is the name of the art associated with the inventive subject matter of the present invention, and in other words the invention "what it really is". Next to it after the comma is called the transition into the the body of the claim ,comprising : and after the transition there is a colon placed.
(i) a hydraulic system attached thereto the primary wheel for supplying fluid flow into said twin sheave wheel.
Clarification : After the colon in the transition comprising : the body of the claim contains the subject matter in it's most broadest sense. (a) through (i) are the body of the first independent claim of the present invention and that the scope of the claim is generally determined by the elements recited in it's body. The scope of the invention is critical to mentally view and to understand clearly, and that all subject matter is viewed forward and backwards for you to clearly understand as to "what" the scope of your invention is. As an inventor I am thinking backwards now in time, like in the really old days, I believe they used animals walking around in a circle getting food in trade for walking and producing tangible work effort. So I guess the present invention is no different with the exception of time and materials. The time is now and the materials aren't wood and leather for bearings. Now in the future I see that many people will chose and operate the giant Manmotors of the future that allow a thousand people to power one Manmotor. People generating their own electrical power, reducing the usage of fossil fuel. So the scope of this invention Manmotor, includes everything made in the past pertaining to this art form of Human Powered apparatus and or projected to be made twenty years into the future, and you the inventor need to invent subject matter within those two boundries in time, and also those apparatus and machines either built in the past, or projected to be used in the future, must be designed and then refined, conceptualized and then brought to life in prototype form and further refined and reduced to practice, and hopefully after you have refined your prototype and reduced your invention to practice, the product will be profitable throughout the lifespan of any patent that may issue for your invention.
The scope of a claim should be viewed in a simular way and visa versa as the claim sets the scope of the inventive subject matter in an invention.
What I would like to express firmly is that this text is only to assist you in drafting preliminary claims, later to be handed to your patent attorney, the attorney will really respect the fact you have taken time to understand what information he or she needs to efficiently write your patent Provisional, or Patent Application.
After the inventor of a new and usefull invention gets the letter of allowance of certain claims and limitations on those claims from the USPTO after their review a year or so later of the Patent Application, it then becomes critical as to exactly how you wrote your claims. My advice is to seek out a patent attorney and review their perfomance record in the form of a search on the USPTO website. Don't be the someone that has written a claim and it was allowed, but worth nothing in return, a patent attorney is needed but charges by the hour usually. Now when your writing the provisional if you write it really good you can send it in yourself and then be able to mark patent pending on your product invention. I have never done this is thirty years of inventing, but I am sure I could have. I have written many provisional patent drafts and for many people that have eventually ended up with a U.S. patent for their invention and I have had several of my own that the attorney sent it in as is, but the point is I would never, if I had a choice send in my own paperwork. Several reasons for this, let's say your actual invention turns out to be an instant success, there will surely and inevitably be a patent attorney involved at a later time anyway and you will sleep alot better knowing it was professionally executed for your future protection in upholding the rights you will have, after your Invention is allowed a U.S. Patent.
In the past thirty years of inventing and with all the experience I have at inventing and writing Patent Application rough drafts, I find that writing the actual claims of an invention as actually the most difficult and mentally taxing part of the Patent Application Draft. This is always difficult and don't feel bad if this is hard to grasp for right now, just do the best you can. I am going to recite some elementary rules of claim drafting directly from the book by John R. Flanagan , HOW TO PREPARE PATENT APPLICATIONS .
Rule One : The scope of a claim is generally determined by the elements recited in its body and not by the general definition of its preamble.
Note : The preamble in the present invention Claim 1. A human powered motor, and that the body of the claim 1. constitutes (a) through (i).
Rule Two : The principal elements of a claim must be set forth or introduced positively or directly.
Note : The principal elements of the broadest claim (a) through (i) in the present invention are all introduced directly and in an example (a) a mainframe structure ; in the body of the claim must always end with a semi colon. and a mainframe structure directly introduces a primary element in this claim. This is important to remember because you cannot indirectly recite a principal element within the body of a claim prior to directly introducing it. Then within the body of claim 1. in subparagraph (b) you can see that we now introduce directly a primary wheel and then indirectly recite and refer back to the mainframe structure, indirectly.
Quote referring to Rule Two " This rule requires that an antecedent basis be established in the claim for each principal element later recited indirectly. Each principal element must be directly introduced or set forth in a claim before it can be referred to with respect to other elements."
Rule Three : Antecedents may be set forth in the preamble of the claim.
Claim one, the broadest claim includes every object of inventive subject matter found within the invention intended to be claimed "as the invention" in whole. The Patent claims on the invention come from the evaluation of the example 6 and what the needs are for the other people who will want addittional features in your invention to buy them easily. The entire concept around this patenting thing is to make value in your invention and to share that information with the general public. How you make value in your invention is to invent something that more people will want to purchase, simple math can add this one up. Making the feature claims of your invention sets a foundation for the elements to design and engineer to make the invention claims for the patent application.
Remember an important fact, these claims are your words from you, the inventor, they do not need to be included within the Provisional Patent Application to the USPTO. They do need to be drafted by you, in order to complete an accurate Provisional Patent Draft. A Patent Attorney will further revise the claims to read on the essential elements after he searches prior art on your subject matter disclosed to him or her. It is critically important to file for a Provisional Patent immediately after you have all the information compiled to go to the Patent Attorney for review and filing purposes. This is important in the event you may be fortunate enough to gain title to a U.S. Patent for your invention, however due to your product may be very well built, but unless you have a Patent Pending status on your product and marked very clear "Patent Pending" which the provisional specifies, you may have a manufacturer you don't want or have not signed royalty agreements to, offer for sale and market your product. If you have filed a Provisional Patent and marked your product Patent Pending and the Patent Application you filed a year later is allowed a U.S. Patent you can go back and claim the original filing date on your Provisional Patent that did not include the claims of your invention.
This is also an example of a broad claim, however it is in the form of an independent claim for one form of inventive subject matter that the present invention is comprised of. It has exactly the same format as the Claim 1 had. We have to continue on in another claim, and what this claim is from, is the information only the inventor has established is critical to what exactly makes his or her present invention new and improved over the prior art within the field of the invention. The inventor is who makes the invention better or improved, and solves or eliminates the problems previously experienced in other inventions of same, usually only the inventor can really designate the improvements, or why they were implimented or referred to as subject matter and essential elements of the invention.. Otherwise logically someone else would have already come up with it, right ?
After viewing the Fig. 2 the author would like to point out that prior to the drawings of this new art form of the present invention were drafted, I knew as an inventor that this primary wheel would be drafted as the second claim and therefore the numbering sequence becomes a tool for the inventor to use in writing the claims. I will explain this, referring to Fig. 2 and in specific 13.an embodiment of a hub. As the inventor I knew that the primary element in building this wheel, was the hub13. in effect it is the lowest number found on this Fig. , therefore without this hub built first, there is no need to continue on due to the parameters need to be set for the size of the hub, prior to a machinest being able to make one for you, and so on the numbering system found within these Fig. (s) 1 through 18 are the same. This is an invaluable tool to use in the writing of the claims for any invention.
With this tool we can now easily write claim 2.
(d) a hollow cylinder held moveably within the said cylinder block arrangement .
Using this as a tool shows clearly what one needs to evaluate quickly and consistently, what essential inventive subject matter is contained within the claimed invention and that further when the rest of the dependent or independent claims are written, a sequence of elements to write into the claims becomes very clear to the inventor as he or she is writing their initial Provisional Patent Draft that will later be handed into your Patent Attorney for filing with the USPTO.
When you have the broadest claims based from the broadest features based from the basic lack of features in a prior art of your invention you are ready for he broadest specification.
Fig. 1 is an assembled side elevational view of a Manmotor of the present invention without the human input or apparatus to translate human energy into rotation, and is illustrated at a starting position.
Referring to Fig. 1, the wheel of 1. is rotated by input rotation from the wheel of 3. and 3. rotated from the input rotation from the wheel of 9. . Wheel 9. diameter is fixed but made variable in width through mechanical adjustment methods, that effectively allows a change in diameter of wheel 9. by mechanical means. As wheel 9. is rotated a belt connecting the outer circumference of 9. to the outer circumference of the wheel of 4. allows 4. to rotate at the ratio shown in Fig. 1(static) , 9. and 4. remain at a one to six ratio in speed.
The mechanical structure of 4. is permanently affixed to one half of the rotating element of 3. and the other half element of 3. regulates the diameter of 3. variably to a maximum circumference ratio of one to three, based on restriction to rotation of 3. through restriction of load wheel 2.while rotating at various RPM ranges. At present in it's static form the belt of 3. connecting the outer circumference of 3. to the outer circumference of wheel 2. remains at a ratio of three to one.
The Machine Embodiment of Fig. 1 stands at rest and specified (static) in this exemplary form of the drawing. This example shows the machine in it's intended "starting position", and that the interrelated components yet to be exampled within further text are also in their perspective "starting positions".
As wheel 9. begins to rotate, the belt connecting it to wheel 4. also rotates wheel 4. , wheel 9. can be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise in retrospect to the embodiment drawing of Fig. 1 . Wheel 4. is a solid part of half embodiment 3. and directly translates force and speed through rotation into the half element 3. with the wheel of 2. and that the wheel of 2. is made up of three elements that includes the wheel of 5. , the wheel of 2.comprises one frictional surface and is stationarily attached to the wheel of 1. . As 1. begins it's rotation clockwise or counterclockwise the frictional surface of embodiment 2. and 5. are frictionally connected together and also rotate as wheel 9. is rotated.
As wheel 1. rotates the third element of 2. and 5. a belt attaches wheel 5. to the frictional surface element of wheel 6. . This frictional surface half element of wheel 6. is staionarily attached to the mechanical structure of wheel 7. and is connected to the wheel of 8. with a belt.
The embodiment of the present invention Manmotor exampled in Fig. 1 is a new and usefull invention that has purpose dedicated to fullfill the needs of a human being and is mostly concerned with the production of hydrogen for cooking and freezing foods, oxygen to breathe, and electricity to use for the common lighting in a household or office.
The current invention is a tool that accomplishes the aforementioned needs for a human being needing to cook food, store food, and have light when needed. Also the current invention will allow a human being energy freedom from the power generating companies and the gas companies, and offers a choice to individuals wanting to live in areas of the earth that may not be associated with human civilization, and to live and sustain a healthy family life from the direct translation of human force to the product fuel and electrical energy. Any fractional horsepower power source can be applied to the drive rotation of the present invention in addition to human input power.
This is in the broadest sense the specification and broadest detailed description of the present invention exhibited. Claim 2 as written in the broadest sense will also need to be described.
The scope of a primary wheel is how broad ? A wheel ? Every car has four of them touching the ground, the engine has multiple wheels and for example a flywheel. What exactly does that flywheel do for the engine anyway?
An engine flywheel, as you are looking at the flywheel surface, appears as a circle made of metal, and it is essentially three dimensional, so in description would appear to be a disk. This flywheel is bolted directly to a crankshaft which rotates as each cylinder produces power on the power stroke of each of the individual cylinders that fire fuel. Each time the individual power strokes are happening it is a result of a precisely timed explosion inside the cylinder firing. These are abrupt impulses and without a flywheel on the engine the engine would not keep running. It would immediately stop, and the reason behind that is a flywheel is designed to keep the crankshaft rotating in the correct direction as the cylinders are impulsing the crankshaft rotation. To light of a flywheel on the engine and it is very radical as most mechanics would describe, you need to keep the engine at a high engine RPM, and the slightest change in throttle pedal position would drop the engine RPM quickly and or stop the engine, on the other hand it would rocket you abruptly if you pressed on the throttle pedal. If a flywheel is to heavy for an engine, the engine becomes very inefficient if the impulses felt by fuel exploding were to small to keep the flywheel rotating at a rotational speed necessary to gain momentum of the wheel.
So in the broad claim of, A primary wheel, one could imagine the scope that encompases, almost everything that is mechanical with an engine has a primary wheel. If you go to the fair you will see many primary wheels. Now the importance of chosing your field for your invention should be carefully analyzed at this time in the invention process. What field am I searching for to find prior art that is relevant to my present invention ?
In the case of searching for prior art for the present invention we need to now concentrate on doing a quick patent search in the USPTO regarding prior art. I am now going to the USPTO site, http://patft.uspto.gov/ and then we go to the column of past issued patents and click on quick search.
After two thousand patents were reviewed and plenty of classification numbers read on, the classification glossary terms were searched. I have not found a classification number I am satisfied with. Nothing really has hit the nail on the head yet so to speak. Let's now identify what our invention in it's broadest claim actually is intended to accomplish.
The present invention translates human input energy into rotating mass, this rotating mass is acted upon by electromagnetic friction and causes a pulsed drag onto the rotating mass. This momentary drag from the force of electromagnetic induction and acting upon said rotating mass accumulates electrical energy and stores it into a dc storage unit. Hence the present invention is an electrical energy generator and storage system.
This I found at the site http://www.uspto.gov/web/patents/classification/selectnumwithtitle.htm and after reviewing the patents in the Class 185/15 , MOTORS: Spring, weight, or animal powered. I knew this was the exact one I had been looking for. A human powered motor and in addition our product will come with an electrical system that is capable of accumulating electrical energy and then storing it in a self contained storage system. It is also relevant that this particular invention also will be searched within the Class 60/698+ .
As you are doing these general descriptions from each invention patent claim you will narrow down the claim for the inventive subject matter. These narrowed claims sill be written on and then you will develop the fragmentary views to further example the claimed inventive subject matter within the invention claimed in it's most broadest sense.
I had to get off of that last page, I looked for hours and read many patents today I am sick of looking at patents geeze, I am slightly wound up here now but at least we have a really strong foundation to write the claims on now. It seems the more stuff in the invention process that becomes, or is, pie in the sky, clouds your ability to write the claims of your invention. So the inventor needs to be crystal clear as to the base foundation of his product to follow, and this get's serious at this point in the design of your product, and you need many factual clarifications in order to progress through the claim writing phase.
We are on this wheel of Fig. 2 "a primary wheel" subparagraph (b) claim 1. and claim 2. First of all the understanding of a few factors involved need to be clarified.
A wheel used to rotate and continue momentum is called a flywheel for all practicle applications and purposes. This said momentum is a direct and porportional result from rotating the flywheel, and the flywheel is then said to gain a potential inertia, that requires input power from any source of input power that is able to rotate the flywheel. A flywheel that weighs 100lbs. and is starting to be rotated, has two factors at this point. One, is to start the wheel rotating from zero RPS to it's optimum RPS, and it takes more power to start rotation of a flywheel, than to continue rotating it at it's optimum RPS range. To stop the rotation of a flywheel rotating at it's optimum RPS from the ouside circumference takes (x)psi in force of some kind to stop it or restrict it's movement in rotation, and that includes electrical force, hydraulic force, or mechanical force. Now we increase the weight to 200lbs. with another flywheel, and rotate this wheel also at the same revolutions per second as the flywheel that weighed 100lbs. We now stop the 200lb. flywheel and then find our force in (x)psi that was required to stop the flywheel rotation from the outside circumference of the flywheel, is porportionally higher than the (x)psi it took to stop the 100lb. wheel. This wheel is said to have inertia due to momentum. Now as you view the flywheel face as earlier described you will view a circle, in the center of the circle is said to be the center of rotation on the rotating center axis of the flywheel. The distance from the rotating center axis of the flywheel to the outer circumference is the radius. Now lets just say that this flywheel that weighs 200lbs. is 51" in diameter which is also 4.25' . The radius would be half of that so 2.125' would be our multiple, however let's use inches in decimal equivelants which would be 25.5".
Most flywheels are made of a solid piece of metal that has been forged and then machined to size. A 200 pound wheel is very hard to handle and very expensive to have made. A solid flywheel has it's disadvantages in this application of the present invention due to the physical size and weight would limit it's ability to become a competetive design largly due to the effort in shipping and handling alone. Also the solid wheel has fixed weight ratios that become disadvantageous in two case scenarios, a solid wheel has a required power effort to begin to rotate porportional to it's displaced weight over the entire diameter of the circle, and there is no advantage of weight ratio displacement to the outer circumference at the wheels optimum rotational speed.
It takes less effort porportionally to rotate a wheel by exerting the force to rotate the flywheel on the outer circumference of the flywheel, than it takes to rotate the wheel at the inner most circumference possible. Time and surface speed become an element very interesting to an inventor when it comes to rotating wheels, and in effect rotating wheels are the simplest form of force multipliers when applied efficiently to a mechanical device. Wheels are necessary and can really get complex when dynamic functions are calculated into the equasion. The easier you can rotate a wheel the more efficient it will become.
The "primary wheel" in Fig. 1 as an example shows a side view of the "primary wheel" and attached to it's embodiment is the "twin sheave" read upon in claim 1. subparagraph (h) . Also within this view are two "secondary wheels" read upon in subparagraph (d) and are on each side of the "primary wheel" attached thereto by flexible means (a set of drive belts) one belt to each of the secondary wheels. The twin sheave at this point has a driven diameter of 24" and a radius of 12". So at one foot out from the centerline axis of rotation of the primary wheel the ratio in pressure is one to one when rotating the wheel. Now if the drive power was applied to the outer circumference of the primary wheel you would porportionally reduce the pressure required to rotate the primary wheel. Inversely as the drive diameter goes less it requires porportionally more pressure to rotate the primary wheel. The variable applied to this situation is the fact that the primary wheel will take less pressure to rotate after the optimum RPS is reached on the flywheel, this is called a dynamic variable that constantly changes, and that the variables effecting the power required to rotate any given flywheel are size, weight, shape and rotational speed of the flywheel.
Referring again to Fig. 2 the primary wheel, this wheel is not a solid wheel, it is made up of cut flat strap, very common in the industry, Stainless Steel 3/16" thick or .1875", quality 304 or better and also some solid round Aluminum Billet 6061-T6 or better. The primary wheel also has common bolts made of Stainless Steel, and a fluid flow system.
All of the component elements exampled in Fig. 13 below are included to comprise one primary wheel of the present invention, and to enable it to perform as stated within the claims to be read on in further text. For now referring to Fig. 13 to the far left is "the cylinder block arrangement" and specifically designated 121. and moving to the right 129. "the twin sheave", and attaching to the cylinder block arrangement. To the far right of the cylinder block arrangement is an emergency braking embodiment 130. and 131. .
(f) 118. a "hydraulic fluid conduit", two per cylinder block arrangement .
It takes only one cylinder block arrangement to make one primary wheel of the present invention. It is designed to begin it's rotation with the hollow cylinders filled with water. As the primary wheel rotates faster and faster the water filled cylinders move outward against the biasing spring of 117. . The push rod 116. then moves into actuator cylinder 115. and forces hydraulic fluid to flow through conduit 118. and into the hub/hydraulic fluid distribution maniforld 111. . Now referring to Fig. 15 below .
Fig. 14 is an assembled side elevational view of a Manmotor of the present invention after the human input energy has rotated the present invention to it's optimum revolutions per second and is illustrated at it's optimum operating position.
What is actually shown here is simply the wheel circumference ratios and their ability to regulate themselves to optimum perfomance for each human individual powering the Manmotor. The object is to generate sufficient electrical current flowing capabilities with acceptable human exertion. The wheel of 1. in Fig. 1 is not shown in it's dynamic form in this embodiment of Fig. 14 and applies in specific the force to regulate and vary the wheel circumference changes.
Referring to Fig. 14 and in specific 139. which has become the second most substantial form of subject matter in this form of the present invention Manmotor which is a hydraulically activated clutch, friction surface, and pressure plate twin sheave. This twin sheave 139. in Fig. 14 and it's twin 2. in Fig. 1 examples a variable twin sheave clutch and hydraulic pressure plate used to regulate and or change rotational ratios of the wheels involved in the optimum operation of the present invention. As hydraulic pressure is reacted upon, a center element of this sheave assembly is allowed to travel along the longitudinal surface of a guide rod, this center element is free to rotate along the longitudinal axis of the guide rod and as it slides along the guide rod, the distance between all three elements are changing. In effect the two outer elements are frictional surfaces and the center sliding element, the pressure plate. The frictionally connecting element in the present invention is a common item referred to as an industrial belt, there are two belts used in this application and two seperate groves these belts interfit with and in specific the twin sheaves. These two belts used in this application that interfit between the rotating elements, wedge their frictional contact surfaces into these twin sheaves. In this application, the novelty and unobvious features of this trio of combined singular elements along with the hydraulically moveable pressure plate, allow the change in rotating ratios that effect the RPS of the hydro balanced wheel 1. inFig. 1 of the present invention Manmotor.
The comparison of Fig. 1 hydrobalanced wheel 1. and Fig. 14 are substantially identical in the embodiments elevational side view. The wheel 2. in Fig.1 the twin sheave, hydraulically translates diameter variably and as a by product to dynamic operation of the present invention, and largly due to centrifugal forces, to a point further exampled in Fig. 14 diameter at 138. and is essentially the inner sheave driving the rotation of hydrobalanced wheel. If you look at the belt position carefully you will see in Fig. 1 at 3. is essentially the same component viewed and compared to the same in Fig. 14 at 137. and that within this application becomes the fifth most substantial article of subject matter within the invention Manmotor as disclosed and is the variable diameter sheave. Referring to Fig. 1 at point 6. and compared to the belt location at point140. in Fig. 14 this also is an identical twin to the friction plate, pressure plate variable diameter sheave. The example position in Fig. 1 compared to the position in Fig. 14 of the drive belts examples only two situations, Fig. 1 examples the Manmotor in it's start up position, and or static position, and Fig.14 examples only the positions of the drive belts relevant to the diameter changes allowed when the Manmotor's Hydrobalanced Wheel is at it's optimally maximum rated RPS .
We essentially have two variable diameter sheaves that can be viewed below as an example only in Fig. 16 and will be detailed within further text. The point is that one is called the drive sheaveFig. 1 at 3. and the other the driven sheave 6. .
Fig. 16 and it's sheave or grove that the belt fits in is maximum circumference position, Fig. 3below shows the same variable diameter sheave that the belt fits into it's minimum circumference position.
Most all of this text was pulled from the inventors project notebook that had been written on several months ago, the drawings were created to show the subject matter and to further fragment inventive subject matter so the specification along with the drawings will example and explain to one skilled in the art that the invention is classified into as to how the claims in specific are accomplished.
The claims of the present inventon that were exampled in FIG(s) are not the complete set of drawings for this invention of Manmotor. These are to example a format to use, like an outline to write the provisional patent with the most broadest claims not narrowed down to the specifics of inventive subject matter. You are writing the provisional patent and need to get the paperwork invention patent pending prior to you beginning to make parts and assemble the invention prototype.
You are now at the point to write the Abstract Of The Invention, only after all drawings are made that exhibit the sought after claims in the invention and the descriptive text written as found in the Specification Of The Invention can the Abstract Of The Invention be written. Following text will reflect the importance of following guidlines when writing the provisional draft 1. It took me three times to get within the 250 word limit for the abstract.
A human powered mechanical wheel that gains momentum and inertia when rotated, and stores mechanical energy recoverable in the form of useable electrical energy and decomposes water into the form of gas, includes; a mainframe with seperate forward, rearward, and side structures connected end to end and side to side constituting mirror images of one another. Forward, rearward and side structures for supporting five wheels thereon being rotatably mounted to and resting upon the forward, rearward and side structures. Forward and rearward sub frame structures pivotally mounted to the respective forward and rearward side structures. A foreward driven wheel rotatably attached to a respective forward sub frame and a rearward drive wheel rotatably attached to a respective rearward sub frame. A plate releasably attaching to the top end of each said side structure connecting each, end to end, and forming a surface on that plate. A composite block arrangement is rotatably mounted upon the said surface on that plate, and when rotated the said composite block arrangement mirages a wheel. Cylindrical containers that are held moveably alighned within said cylinder block arrangement and opposing one another, move outward from the center axis of rotation of the said rotating cylinder block arrangement as said rotating cylinder block arrangement increases in rotational speed, and allowing the said cylindrical containers containing water, to oscillate against a hydraulic actuator causing fluid to flow and be directed as a potential force.

Quoted from : John R. Flanagan : HOW TO PREPARE PATENT APPLICATIONS.
" Since the abstract is intended to provide a concise synopsis of the technical disclosure of the patent application, it should employ technical terminology, such as used in the detailed description, as opposed to claim terminology. However, it's basic content may be designed after that contained in the claims. "
"A specific limitation is placed on the length of the abstract : it should not exceed 250 words ."
"The abstract should be written in a single paragraph with several sentences, instead of one continous sentence form of a claim."
We have 372 words in our first draft of the abstract of the present invention and it is necessary now to clean it up and limit the paragraph to 250 words.

Said mainframe supporting five wheels thereon and resting upon the forward, and rearward side structures. A foreward driven wheel rotatably attached to a respective forward sub frame and a rearward drive wheel rotatably attached to a respective rearward sub frame. A plate releasably attaching to the top end of each said side structure connecting each, end to end, and forming a surface on that plate. A composite block arrangement is rotatably mounted upon the said surface on that plate, and when rotated the said composite block arrangement mirages a wheel. Cylindrical containers that are held moveably and alighned within said cylinder block arrangement opposing one another, move outward from the center axis of rotation of the rotating cylinder block as it increases in rotational speed, and allowing the said cylindrical containers containing water, to oscillate against a hydraulic actuator causing fluid to flow and be directed as a potential force.

Screw/fluid actuating arrangements pivotally attached between said side structures and each said sub frame structure between three rotating elements flexibly connected together, and are used to adjust the flexible connectors firmly, with the mechanical screw apparatus of the said actuators.
Note : It appears now we have 300 words, we need to drop another 50 of them. We now re-write the abstract again as I am attempting to exhibit the most effective way to make your invention a success.
It seems that we need to take a real hard look at exactly what is needed to write a really good abstract, and what we actually need within this text to complete this 250 word summary is to write brief statements giving the main points of our invention, and using few words but full of meaning, giving a general view of the invention in text that has been though about or discussed relating to what things the invention is made up of and the materials it comprises that occupy 3 dimensional space.

END NOTE : We now have the abstract cleaned up enough that we are really close to the 250 mark, this text is 252 words long and I think for now that is as good as we need it to be. It may fly but a patent attorney can always find a couple words to remove later. Be prepared to re write over and over text that needs revisions and keep all the originals and write on them void and the reason why. Do not throw any paperwork away, "ANY" paperwork, and save them all in a binder notebook seperate from the final drafts of any of articles addressed within the provisional patent draft file.
It is time for the inventor to write the Summary Of The Invention for the provisional patent draft 1 and I am again going to recite the importance of writing notes each day the idea advances or work is performed on the part of the project we are at. The writing of the Provisional draft 1 to later go to your patent attorney for sumbission to the USPTO.
This is going to sound a little long winded and possibly a bit repetative however you need to understand exactly how important going over and over the written text of the invention is for the final writing of the provisional patent draft. Again I want to also say this is your masterpiece and treat it like it's an article that can pay your bills and alot more, along with allowing you to relax a little and create your nest egg for your own good. This work we are doing could save you up to twelve thousand dollars in patent application preperation.
Gather terminology and establish the origin of the invention.
Some of the descriptive words that were searched and found within the classifications of the invention now need to be compiled and organized as to how and where they apply in the subject matter. We need to highlight and roundly explain what we have and use some patent classification terminology for where it fits in the present invention, and get a somewhat round terminology base that needs to be used in the summarization of the present invention.
Here is really a point I have been trying to make and again what I am trying to point out is that your invention has to be created in your mind in a step by step process and not overthought by you. Your invention had to start from a seed, and without that seed which was the intent you had which seeded the rest of the product to come had an intent by you upon the conception of the idea or "intellectual property" that is yours and from your mind. So in defining this seed starts the first paragraph of the Summary of the Invention.
I lived without electricity for several years in the jungle rainforest of the Hana area in the State of Hawaii. Many people do not have the choice, they need storage units for dc electricity , solar panels, and wind generators. There are areas that do not have electical wiring due to the geographical limitations of the area. I realized a fact, that even if there are plenty of fruits and vegetables in an area they don't bear fruit all the time and also not at the same time so many night I ate the same of one thing to get a meal. Also if it rains or you don't just catch the sun right you don't eat that day, there are many other creatures that live off the same fruits and vegies. Fish are easy to catch but you need to be able to scale rocks and jungle to get to the areas and also then to get the fish back home when walking is the only alternative. People need to be able to store and preserve food, a freind was in need of an electrical system several years ago for her small 200 square foot living structure. I was determined to set her up with mostly junkyard scraps. It worked but then learned it took more effort than I was even willing to exert just to make "enough electricity to light a fart", muchless operate a computer or fan system. We had a fan system that would run off the electricity we made by peddling, a 12 volt dual radiator fan set, and it wirred like heck, great cooling properties as long as it ran and you had to peddle the unit just to generate electricity to make it run. The truth of the matter was that in a few minutes the fans didn't cool the operator down, human heat was generated in the person peddling faster than the fans would cool the human being down. We learned some important points that brought us to the current invention and it's subject matter.
So the need the inventor had was to help someone out that needed electricity but couldn't get it any other way except from the sun , the rain, or the wind, there was no other option for the person in need. The interesting part was the need was to read at night and see by led light and listen to some music on the computer. In todays canned goods and dry meals that you can purchase at present time, there are very fiew products that we need to survive on that require preserving. So by this need of another individual and my need to assist and be the man so to speak by providing electricity for her to use and store dc electrical energy, I also had the desire to play around in the shop and had the capabilities of welding and patching spare parts together so a friend and I made a little peddle generator so she could peddle a bicycle type exerciser and charge a large CAT Battery. That is a battery that fits into a D6 Caterpillar Dozer, and then an old flywheel type exercize bike with the dodge alternator hooked up to self energize. The bicycle method put out more electrical energy than any other of the choices but with one large difference. The wind and the sun can go on for hours and it was difficult to maintain peddleing the bicycle that will grow into the invention, that has grown from the seed that we are trying to define precisely from where the invention came.
The fact I am noting here is that the other forms of collecting electrical energy all fall short of providing sufficient electrical energy to power a common household for 24hours. How they work is providing the charge and storing it for more time than the electrical energy quantity that is to be consumed in a lesser period of time, and that's the difference between something that is workable and something no one want's to do or physically can do.
So the invention process is a sequence that develops like something that grows like a plant. The clarification is needed for the inventor to flush out the pipes and re organize the subject matter as so he can successfully assemble the invention in small steps directly related to each form of subject matter that came from the awarenesses of the need.
After I had written the above text I also remember now the project I had been involved in with a company CEO that was interested in finding a method that he could operate a large facility with the electrical energy collected by some type of machine. The project began in early 2003 and commenced into a project called "Gemini" in mid 2005.
It first started with a proof of concept for a radiant energy collector that was being worked on by a man Bedini . This was simply a small light vertically positioned free wheeling wheel and stand. It's actually modeled after Teslas monopole motor he engineered for Westinghouse to generate electricity at the turn of the century. It was a permanent magnet device and it was neat to see turn and there is alot of info about it on the web. I learned a great deal from that project and the most important facts I realized at the time is that in fact people try to always get something to run for free, the radiant energy is advertized as free energy and it's not free. Wheels cost money to build, they are hard to keep in balance at any given rpm, permanent magnets can go haywire and cause problems, vertical wheels are dangerous when you try to stop them especially if you actually stop one to fast, and all this stuff was done over a hundred years ago. Radiant energy is like combing your hair, that's around 2thousand volts static electricity, now save it or use it and you will find out it is nothing more than static, that's it simply static electricity accumulated. Transistors are highly costly when working with electrostatic discharge, they get damaged internally and then go haywire and your wheel stops charging. If there were a cheaper way to produce electricity it would have been done already, and yes I believe in the near future there will be a breakthrough in the ability to work with static charges and or methods to utilyze the electrostatic energy to drive large flywheels.
Next of all was the vertical and horizontal wheel configurations, make a wheel that spins freely that has sufficient weight to gain large amounts of kinetic energy, the design of that wheel that came from that project was substantial in the fact that it was sectionally assembled into a large wheel structure that has become the skeleton of the wheel of the present invention. So now the reason I have recited this is because this CEO, at the time we started this project in early 2003 had given me this remote viewing data he had remote viewed for the project we initially started. The really wierd thing is that the data that the CEO had given me early on that included as I remember, "wafers", "fluid", "wheel", and now today I find the design of the composite wheel of the present invention to be very simular to what the data this man gave me from remote viewing, and he could not have been classified as a mechanic or mechanical art designer. Back then it made no sense and seemed a little far out for me to really accept, now I am really taking another look at this remote viewing since today the actual composite wheel design has come from extensive engineering and not the data that was provided to me early 2003, however, it makes me really stop and review the data and wonder how that happened.
That means we have one commonality in all this experimentation and project research, build a better wheel and you have the energy market. So now through this reflection and writing it down I thouroughly understand completely and in detail what actually this invention starts with, and it is the primary wheel.

The present invention provides a generator of electricity, hydrogen, and oxygen powered by a human being designed and constructed to satisfy the aforementioned needs. The present invention provides an electrical, hydrogen, and oxygen generating system and method to convert human input energy into mechanical, 140 electrical, and gaseous energy potential and provides a power generating apparatus, a Manmotor , and the Manmotor of the present invention has a mainframe with foreword and rearward triangle frame structures being constructed as twin mirror images of one another and releasably attached end-to-end and side-by-side, allowing ease of assembly and disassembly thereof 145 and to lower the cost to manufacture, and also includes a composite wheel assembly containing moveable fluid filled cylinders mounted on the respective foreword, rearward and side frame structures of the mainframe. The Manmotor also has a variable ratio hydraulic activated and controlled transmission that operates from a byproduct of wheel rotation, imbalance, and that this transmission 150 is constructed of eight formed circles assembled comprising three sheave assemblies further comprising four variable circumference sheaves and two conventional industrial belts. AC electricity is generated and accumulated in a conventional way by the rotation of a stator armature within a polar field array of electromagnetic coils and commonly referred to as an alternator.
155 The alternating electricity begins as static and accumulates until sufficient voltage builds up and jumps to an electromagnetic coil which effects it's magnetic flux onto and between the rotating stator, and inner and outer field windings producing non regulated AC voltage within variable pulse intervals which can be rectified and stored or used to power a water decomposition cell producing hydrogen and 160 oxygen gas, and in addition provides a method intended to convert human input energy into mechanical force potential that can be used to power many other power driven devices that are currently using fossil fuels to burn for the heat exchange of work energy produced.
These devices of the past utilizing fossil fuels to convert explosive effects into 165 useable horsepower worked very well for a growing civilization in creating many kinds of new products and an infrastructure to a country. Today however a shift in focus is evident and a viewpoint of survival with the least amount of capital outlay for an individual is necessary to maintain a lifestyle or to survive life itself and the elements confronting us each day. This shift in focus has created the need for 170 human beings individually to produce fuel and electrical energy to survive. Usually these devices are novel however fall short of practicality and inasmuch produce little for the effort involved. The present invention uses amplified human weight and gravity to produce rotating force and inertia as a result of rotation of a weighted wheel. The inertia available in the rotating wheel is said kinetic and 175 proportionally increases as the wheel speed increases.
Accordingly, the present invention relates to an apparatus and method to produce electricity, hydrogen, and oxygen from human input energy and resulting into an improved state of physical health and endurance for the human being powering the device from his or her own available energy, which includes the operative 180 steps of : ( a ) amplifying the physical weight of the human being powering the device ; ( b ) translating human motion into rotation ; ( c ) translating amplified physical weight of the human powering the device into a torque factor utilized to increase rotational speed of the wheels of the present invention, and that the 185 amplified torque developed is further translated into increasing the speed of rotation of the hydro balanced wheel for the present invention ; ( d ) speed of rotation of the present invention determines kinetic energy gained within the hydro balanced wheel of the present invention, and that kinetic energy gained is intermittently loaded onto and or depleted sporadically by electromagnetic 190induction, and further collects defined columns of electrical energy either as a result from the amplified human input energy ; ( e ) the columns of electrical energy produced are aligned or rectified and directed further into storage cells ; ( f ) stored electrical energy that has been accumulated is used by a conventional DC water decomposition cell ; ( g ) at a specific optimum rotational speed of the 195 present invention, kinetic energy is sufficient to produce specifically timed electrical impulses into a polar array of electromagnetic coils ; ( h ) magnetic flux density affects that are timed mechanically in relation to physical structure elements of the present invention produce a higher voltage AC used further to decompose water by AC electrolysis ; ( i ) the decomposed water in the form of a 200 mixed gas is directed within a conduit into a hydrogen/oxygen concentrator/filter apparatus separating the two mixed gases and operating directly from the production of electrical voltage and current as a result of the rotating hydro balanced wheel .
Accordingly, the present invention relates to an apparatus and method that 205 variably balances or counterbalances rotating weight by means of viscous fluid, which include the operative steps of ( a ) rotating a composite wheel including 8 water filled cylinders within the inner radius as a polar array displaced radially from the center of rotation of the hydro balanced wheel and held moveably at an inner circumference diameter of the hydro balanced wheel ; ( b ) as rotational 210speeds increase centrifugal force reacts onto the moveable ballast water filled cylinders and that those cylinders are allowed outward travel increasing the circumference diameter of the 8 moveable water filled cylinders in relation to their previous positions at the slower rotational speed of the wheel and counterbalanced at controllable variable ratios ; ( c ) the variable ratios and effects upon the 215 rotational speed of the hydro balanced wheel allows a specific vibration ratio to be achieved, hence optimum rotational speed of the hydro balanced wheel of the present invention to achieve for the most efficient means producing the multiple energy forms, electricity, hydrogen , oxygen, and direct mechanical drive power take off capabilities; ( d ) the vibration ratio effects produce pre determined 220 movement of the water filled cylinders that are mechanically contacting viscous fluid actuator pumps, causing a flow of viscous fluid within a conduit network connected in a fashion providing viscous fluid flow and back pressure storage capabilities of the viscous fluid by the effects of imbalance of the rotating hydro balanced wheel ; ( e ) that the contained buildup of fluid pressure as a result of 225 resistance to flow is applied to a moveable surface commonly referred to as a piston and that piston regulates power requirements to rotate the present invention wheels and in relation to the rotational speed ratios as it regulates the performance of the present invention ; ( f ) rotational speed ratios are continually changing to achieve an optimum revolutions per second for the hydro balanced wheel, and at 230 the optimum rotational speed of the hydro balanced wheel the water filled cylinders are acted upon by the centrifugal force and the water filled cylinders are at the maximum circumference possible within the structure elements of the hydro balanced wheel, these cylinders travel outward from the center of the hydro balanced wheel within the structure elements of the hydro balanced wheel, and at235 that optimum speed of the hydro balanced wheel, the outward locations of the 8 water filled cylinders pass by and are effected by a polar array of electromagnetic flux, allowing AC electrolysis to decompose a small portion of the water contained within the moveable water filled cylinders ; ( g ) the water filled cylinders are vacuum sealed and negative atmosphere applied within the confined 240 sealed area that the water is contained within ; ( h ) the vacuum sealed water filled cylinders contain removeably, rotateably attached high voltage induction coils that are immersed into the water and vacuum sealed into each longitudinal end of the cylindrical water container, and after a specific time period of rotation of the hydro balanced wheel at the calculated optimum revolutions per minute of the 245 hydro balanced wheel result in these water filled cylinders containing a measurable volume of hydrogen and oxygen gas in addition to a large portion of the water remaining within the moveable water filled cylinders, and that the present invention has achieved it's optimum rotational speed and develops the maximum kinetic energy achievable of the hydro balanced wheel and that the 250 present invention has reached it's maximum output potential, and in direct it's advantages over a solid wheel are pronounced within this application of the present invention.
The present invention hydro balanced wheel structure contains five elements, the fluid flow system contains two additional elements and the fluid filled cylinders 255 serve a dual purpose, whereas the complete hydro balanced wheel contains eight elements which include ; ( a ) center hub and used as a viscous fluid holding tank, one piece ; ( b ) wheel segment and used as a cylinder guide plate , two pieces ; ( c ) right hub and left hub and used as a viscous fluid distribution manifold, two pieces one each side ; ( d ) end plate actuator bracket, two pieces ; ( e ) fluid 260 actuator and used as a fluid pump, two pieces ; ( f ) fluid conduit and used as tubes, two pieces ; ( g ) a water filled cylinder used as moveable ballast within the wheel and also provides a water decomposition cell, two pieces ; ( h ) a twin sheave assembly controlling the torque to speed ratios of the hydro balanced wheel using back pressured viscous fluid to variably regulate input/output factors 265 of the present invention.
The apparatus of the present invention contains eight elements which include ; ( a ) a hydro balanced wheel ; ( b ) two variable diameter sheaves, one an input sheave and the other an output sheave, effected and controlled by resistance ; ( c ) two mechanically adjustable variable diameter sheaves, one an input sheave and 270 the other an output sheave, diameter is changed mechanically and does not change diameters after set ; ( d ) a load sensing torque dampening screw jack type linear actuator generating viscous fluid flow ; ( e ) a structure framework constructed from four identical triangle frames ; ( f ) a dual sheave assembly that both outer diameters change inversely while variably adjusted by hydraulic flow ; ( g ) DC275 electricity storage system powering a DC electrolysis cell decomposing water into hydrogen and oxygen ; ( h ) AC electricity generating system powering an AC electrolysis cell decomposing water into hydrogen and oxygen .
These and other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon the reading of the following detailed 280 description when taken in conjunction with the drawings wherein there is shown and described an illustrative embodiment of the invention.
First we will contend that our invention in fact cures all the stuff we listed in previous text regarding the prior art and what things your invention does or provides that superceed the prior art and the practices.
The present invention provides a generator of electricity, hydrogen, and oxygen powered by a human being designed and constructed to satisfy the aforementioned needs.
In the text of the second paragraph an inventor needs to get some really broad terminology to describe the elements that make up the invention in it's broadest sense and terminology, and that in the first draft the inventor just simply describes the elements as he or she can or sees appropriate to describe the invention in the inventors own words that he or she can normally write without stopping to pick out certain words that are not understandable until the subject matter has been classified. The importance of this is that once you start writing you don't want to grasp for new terms, just keep writing as best you can to describe what you believe is you inventions elemental makeup. Now for the third draft of the Summary of the Invention we will incorporate the terminology gained from the class searches and definitions of the terminology.
Inventors outlook on rewriting the paperwork.
The step now is to write the Summary of the Invention, the actual summary drafting has included the past three drafts so in actuality this is the fourth draft revision of the Summary of the Present Invention. There are a whole lot of man hours spent in this rewriting the summary conclusion fourth draft. Important again is to be reminded of the fact that all this revision and continued writing sifts out the repeated data in the inventors mind, and clearly reveals exactly what the patentable features are to claim that comprise the invention. First though is to complete the draft of the Provisional Patent, and go patent pending with your designed product, and then have a broad set of claims to attach to that Provisional Patent you are drafting this text for. After you have sent off the Provisional Patent to the United States Patent and Trademark Office you then mark your prototype of the invention patent pending.

The present invention provides a mechanical means for a human to produce electricity, being designed and constructed to satisfy the aforementioned needs. Electricity is generated and then accumulated as a result from a human being in motion as the prime mover. Since the electricity generated is not "on demand" and is a stored function of the present invention, the motion of the human prime mover is coupled with the weight of that prime mover instead of a force in resistance to rotation being applied as load to the prime mover, within in a block of time exerting the energy that the prime mover can sustain and the human will lose all energy, and have to physically stop exerting energy and could not power a conventional washing machine for a twenty minute block of time at best. Furthermore a standing positioning of the human prime mover allows their weight to be amplified through leveraging, thusly gaining a torque advantage over the prior art that requires a continous loading of the leg muscles and does not utilyze the apparatus found in the present invention for gaining the advantages of amplifying human weight to gain the torque advantages that allow an individual prime mover to exert less energy and provide the power to continue the generation of electricity for longer periods of time. The human powered mechanical energy in motion electrical generation system of the present invention is substantially more efficient due to the weight amplifycation apparatus of the human prime mover and the energy in motion developed kineticlly by a liquid balasted rotating member.

It's "coming soon" to Adult Swim.
Carl Jones, a producer of Adult Swim's The Boondocks, has hinted at a new cartoon for the network featuring Vince Staples, D.R.A.M., and more.
"New T👀N Coming Soon," Jones wrote in the caption for the post, which featured the faces of Staples, D.R.A.M., and writers Giana Lawrence, Quinta Brunson, and Judnick Maynard.
A representative for D.R.A.M. confirmed the artist's involvement in an unspecified Adult Swim show to Pitchfork. The site also pointed out a seemingly confirming tweet from Adult Swim's Senior Vice President and Creative Director of On-Air Jason DeMarco, who tweeted "HELL yeah!" in response to Jones's post.
Representatives for Vince Staples were not immediately available for comment.

There is this nice method of suspending a computer to RAM (which is quick to suspend and resume, but still uses some battery) and after a given amount of time to disk, if it has not been waken up since then (e.g. after 15 minutes).
Ubuntu (and any other distribution using pm-utils) supports this via the pm-utils package and its pm-suspend-hybrid script.
Unfortunately this is not used by default (even hibernation is not available from the menu by default), but only normal suspend.
I came up with this solution after having asked for a method to do so at Ask Ubuntu.
This way hybrid suspend will be used automatically if you select e.g. "Suspend" from the menu or close your laptop's lid (both actions call pm-suspend which then gets remapped).
sudo pm-is-supported --suspend-hybrid && echo $?
Update (2013-10-09): I have updated my own answer at AskUbuntu with another (really hybrid, often preferred method), which you can use with Linux 3.6+.
