Blackwells Announces US Patent Approvals of Climate and Solar Mitigation Technologies
May 16 2024 - 7:45AM
Blackwells Capital LLC (“Blackwells”), the lead investor in Yaroka
Technologies (“Yaroka” or “the Company”), a climate conscious
incubator focused on advanced solutions including adapted drones,
thermo-technology and synthetic material use to alleviate the
deleterious impacts of climate change on the planet, today
announced that it had received U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
(USPTO) patent approvals for its Oscillating Canopy Sunshade Device
for Climate and Solar Mitigation (patent number US 11,958,605 B2)
and Canopy for Climate and Solar Mitigation (patent number
11,708,704), together its (“Canopy Technologies”).
Jason Aintabi, Chief Investment Officer of
Blackwells, said:
“Climate change has brought about devastating
effects through severe weather and is challenging the survival of
humanity by destroying habitable land, food production and access
to water around the world. We need to take action to combat the
effects of climate change and we want to help lead the charge.
Yaroka’s mission is to foster an environment of collaboration to
develop transformative technology that will help combat climate
change. The Company’s patented Canopy Technology redirects and
captures the earth’s sunlight to reduce the amount of sunlight that
directly warms the ice sheets, capturing the sun’s energy and
diverting its power away from the weakening ice.”
Technologies such as green energy generation,
carbon capture in fossil fuel power plants and smart energy grid
technologies are helpful in combating worldwide climate change by
reducing carbon dioxide production. However, such technologies do
not reduce warming in specific locations.
Yaroka’s patented Canopy Technologies aims to
provide more localized options to reduce the effects of solar
heating of surface features such as polar ice caps and glaciers by
reducing surface temperatures and decreasing melting rates. Canopy
Technologies used over open land areas such as forests and plains
at risk of wildfires could be used to lower area ambient
temperatures, increasing moisture retention and reducing fuel
available for wildfires.
Small scale sunshades may be useful for urban
and suburban environments, and some shade coverings have been used
in agricultural settings. However, previously proposed large-scale
sunshade systems have not been successfully implemented to date due
to challenging environmental conditions, high winds, storms and
other climate-related events. Accordingly, there remains a need for
technology comprising effective materials that provides large-scale
solar shading over large areas, capable of adapting to changing
environmental conditions, and other, often unpredictable climate
events. As such, Yaroka calls upon all who might be interested, to
compete against, add to, modify and otherwise ameliorate our suite
of technologies, processes and ideas — all of which are available
on an open-source basis.
The Company continues to advance additional
technologies and has additional patents pending approval. For more
