A.I. Hybrid Summary A new type of electrostatic propulsion device in the shape of an asymmetrical capacitor made from an incompletely spherical extrinsic semiconductor shell with inner and outer radial conductors that are in intimate contact with the shell. The shape of the electronic capacitor is the same as the shell, which creates a non-zero electrostatic force due to the difference in surface area between the inner and outer radial conductors. This invention overcomes some of the limitations of prior art devices which require high voltage, produce limited force, and are made of destructible materials. The invention provides a new way of achieving electrostatic propulsion using a unique and innovative design. The asymmetrical capacitor technology may have applications in fields such as aerospace, robotics, and other industries that require precise and controlled movements or propulsion. UNIQUE FEATURES 1. Electrostatic propulsion system: The use of an electrostatic propulsion system is a unique feature of this invention. Its application to UAVs is relatively new and innovative. 2. Increased efficiency: By using an electrostatic propulsion system, this invention can increase the efficiency of UAVs. Traditional propulsion systems use fuel to generate thrust, which can be costly and inefficient. In contrast, electrostatic propulsion requires only electricity, which can be provided by a battery or other power source. 3. Improved maneuverability: The electrostatic propulsion system can also improve the maneuverability of UAVs. By using a series of electrodes to create an ionized airflow, the propulsion system can generate lift and thrust in different directions, allowing for greater control of the aircraft.

A.I. Hybrid Summary "Recumbent Bike Alternative" Recumba-Ride is an attachment that allows cyclists to easily adopt a more upright posture for a more comfortable ride. Recumba-Ride attaches close to the center of the existing handlebar using two adjustable clamps. An adjustable push-pin extension brings the Recumba-Ride handlebar close to the cyclist, enabling them to sit upright to reduce stress on the lower back and shoulders. When not in use, Recumba-Ride may be rotated forward out of the way via a latched hinge. A brake can also be attached to Recumba-Ride, and at any time the cyclist may use the original handlebar without obstruction. Recumba-Ride could be integrated with bike designs or added after-market. A “ knock-off” recumbent bicycle is very expensive. A “true” recumbent bicycle is quite a bit more. The recumba-ride will accomplish everything that a recumbent bicycle does for a rider for under a hundred dollars, and it can be added to the handlebar of any bike. Use of the prototype Recumba-Ride has allowed the inventor to continue riding his bike, which he had previously given up due to lower back and shoulder pain. Recumba-Ride can bring cyclists back to their bikes.
A.I. Hybrid Summary "Post-Surgical Shower Garment for Patient Care" Summary: The invention presents a unique shower garment designed to provide protection and support for patients who have undergone mastectomies, augmentation, reconstruction, breast lift, mastopexy, augmentation/mastopexy, breast reduction, and other related surgeries, as well as those requiring dialysis/external catheters, wound vacs, and infusion pumps. The garment, known as the shower shirt, incorporates waterproof seals at the neck, arm openings, and shirt bottom to prevent water from contacting the patient's body. It also features specialized pockets to accommodate post-surgical devices such as drain tubes, bulbs, catheters, wound vacs, and infusion pumps. UNIQUE FEATURES: 1. Enhanced Protection: Unlike existing protective garments, the shower shirt addresses the specific needs of patients with drain tubes and other post-surgery devices. It safeguards not only the surgical incision areas but also provides waterproof support for the drain sites and associated medical components, reducing the risk of infection and water invasion. 2. Structurally Supportive Design: The shower shirt includes internal pockets strategically positioned to hold the weight of drain tubes, drain bulbs, external catheters, wound vacs, and infusion pumps while the patient showers or bathes. These pockets ensure stability and prevent the medical tubing from moving or becoming dislodged. 3. Lateral Breast Support: For breast surgery patients, the garment can be equipped with breast baffles to offer additional lateral breast support. These baffles, located under the armpits and alongside the breast area, aid in maintaining proper positioning and support for both the breasts and the incision areas. 4. Comfortable and Adjustable Features: The shower shirt is designed as a one-piece waterproof garment that can be easily worn by the patient without assistance. It incorporates features such as a turtleneck with elastic edges, sleeves with elastic bands and optional cinch straps, and a bottom opening with an elastic band or cinch strap. These elements ensure a snug fit and prevent water seepage. 5. Various Sizing and Material Options: The shower shirt is available in different sizes, allowing patients to find the most suitable fit. While the preferred material is a waterproof plastic, parachute, or nylon fabric, alternative materials can be used. The shirt may also feature additional closures like waterproof zippers, snaps, or a double-breasted front closure design to facilitate wearing and provide additional water resistance. By offering patients a sense of independence, dignity, and improved hygiene during recovery, this shower garment addresses the limitations of existing protective gear. It minimizes the risk of post-surgical infections and enables patients to bathe or shower comfortably and confidently.

A.I. Hybrid Summary This globally patented invention (patented in over 35 countries) is a removable beverage container lid designed to address two main problems: minimizing the risk of burning the user's mouth when consuming a hot beverage and preventing accidental spillage. The lid consists of an exterior cover and an interior cover, creating a enclosed space in between. The interior cover has at least one inlet opening through which the hot beverage flows into the enclosed space. A partition or wall assembly is attached to the interior cover near the inlet opening, extending towards the exterior cover. The length of the partition matches the length of the inlet opening, ensuring that all the beverage must flow around the partition into a gap area within the enclosed space. The exterior cover features a dispensing opening aligned with the gap area, allowing the beverage to be dispensed when the container is tilted. The key features and benefits of the invention can be summarized as follows: 1. Substantially enclosed space: Prevents accidental spillage of the beverage, reducing the risk of making a mess while moving or in a vehicle. 2. Non-central inlet opening: Directs the flow of the beverage around the partition, promoting mixing and cooling before reaching the dispensing opening. 3. Adjacent placement of inlet and dispensing openings: Facilitates direct flow of the beverage from the container to the user. 4. Triangularly shaped dispensing opening: Minimizes contact of a hot beverage with the upper lip, reducing the risk of burns. 5. Partition design: The partition, located between the inlet opening and the dispensing opening, guides the beverage flow, enhancing efficiency and distribution within the enclosed space. 6. Vent opening: Allows the release of steam, preventing pressure buildup and maintaining beverage quality. 7. Wall assembly and gap area: Promotes effective flow of the beverage through the inlet openings and into the dispensing opening, contributing to improved mixing, cooling, and controlled dispensing. The lid aims to provide solutions for common issues associated with beverage containers, offering spill-proof functionality, improved safety when consuming hot beverages, and ease of use. The design is intended to be cost-effective, simple to manufacture, and accessible for consumers.
