| 165 | Rotating Platform Acceleration System and Method | US14680585 | 2015-04-07 | US20150210486A1 | 2015-07-30 | Robert W. Morgan |
| A method of accelerating an item with a rotating platform. The rotating platform has a center point, a perimeter, and a radius from the center point to the perimeter. The method delivers the item to a center area of the rotating platform by delivering the item to a first radial distance on the rotating platform; the item has a first speed at the center area and tangential to the first radial distance. Also, while the rotating platform is rotating, the method moves the item, in an apparatus-controlled orderly path, from the center area to a point relative to the rotating platform that is adjacent a perimeter of the rotating platform and that is located at a second radial distance greater than the first radial distance; the item has a second speed tangential to the second radial distance and the second speed is greater than the first speed. Finally, while the rotating platform is rotating, the method moves the item, from the point, to a location beyond the perimeter of the rotating platform. | ||||||

| 169 | Transportation system, system components and process | US12712099 | 2010-02-24 | US08483895B1 | 2013-07-09 | James J. Beregi |
| New and useful system, components and methods are provided for a transportation system in which one or more vehicles are moved between at least a pair of stations along a guideway that extends between the pair of stations. The vehicle is propelled along the guideway while one or more signals are transmitted that can be used for controlling the speed of the vehicle and the spacing between the vehicle and other vehicles on the guideway. A digital signal that decodes into a sync signal component and a spacing signal component is transmitted along the guideway, where the difference between the period of the sync and spacing signal components determines the predetermined speed of the vehicles moving along the guideway. Each vehicle has a virtual scan window, based on the actual speed of the vehicle, that is configured to follow the spacing signal component in a manner such that the relation of a predetermined point on the virtual scan window to the spacing signal component determines whether the vehicle is maintaining the predetermined speed or whether the speed of the vehicle needs to be adjusted to maintain the predetermined speed and spacing. | ||||||

| 180 | Guideway transit system | US09308979 | 1999-05-28 | US06318274B1 | 2001-11-20 | Tae Jin Park |
| A PRT (personal rapid transit) system, utilizing both course reservation and branch stop technologies and radically solving the various problems experienced in conventional roadway systems, conventional railway systems and prior art APM or PRT systems, is disclosed. The PRT system of this invention has tunnel-type dedicated guideways located aboveground, groundlevel or underground and is computer-controlled, thus allowing small-sized and standardized PRT vehicles to run along the guideways at high speeds without having any congestion delays. The PRT system thus remarkably increases transit capacity and transit efficiency, provides a comfortable and rapid transit means and radically solves traffic congestion in a large metropolitan region. | ||||||
