(May 11, 1998)--SolarAttic, Inc. announced today that United States Patent <br /> 5,746,653 was issued on May 5, 1998 in the names of co-inventors Edward G. Palmer and Ephraim <br /> M. Sparrow, both of Minnesota. SolarAttic, Inc. has been assigned 100%of the patent rights. This is <br /> the company's fourth patent and covers SolarAttic's unique duct and ventilation technology. The <br /> patent abstract reads: "The apparatus can distribute and collect air. As a collector, a fan draws air from <br /> the proximal end of an elongated tube disposed in an air-environment. The tube is closed at the distal <br /> end but receives air all along its length through its air-permeable wall. The wall is more permeable to <br /> air at its distal end than at its proximal end. Wall permeability gradually increases from the proximal <br /> 111 end to the distal end so that a substantially constant rate of air ingestion occurs at all points along the <br /> wall. A reversal of the airflow direction converts the air collector into an air distributor for distributing <br /> air evenly along its length." <br /> Ed Palmer, SolarAttic's CEO said: "We're excited that the U.S. Patent issued with all of its claims and <br /> we are now in the process of our international filings. The international patent application has already <br /> been published and in-country filings will follow shortly. SolarAttic's new patent represents an <br /> advancement in solar, ventilation and duct technology. Virtually any duct that moves air is a candidate <br /> for the company's new technology which moves air evenly. However, initially, the technology will be <br /> used within attics to enhance solar heat collection and ventilation." <br /> SolarAttic has invented and patented a new alternative energy technology that uses the hot air inside of <br /> attics for heating hot water, space and swimming pools. The company has also invented and patented <br /> a new ventilation technology that allows the attic to be vented from within its own cavity. The new <br /> solar technology eliminates the need to use solar roof panels. The new ventilation technology <br /> eliminates the need for roof vents and has other applications.
