  • Method for electroblotting macromolecules from a chromatographic gel
    Patent number: 4541910
    Abstract: An improved method of electroblotting macromolecules from a chromatographic gel is claimed. The method comprises a design for wire electrode arrays that are capable of generating either highly uniform or controlled predetermined gradient electric fields. A gradient electric field is particularly suited for the quantitative electroblotting of proteins with a wide range of molecular weights.

  • Composition and method for treatment of glaucoma
    Patent number: 4476140
    Abstract: Topical administration of one of the polyoxygenated Labdanes of which forskolin is an example to the eyes produces lower intraocular pressure. The topical application to the eye produces no significant changes in blood pressure or pulse rate. The polyoxygenated Labdanes are effective agents for the treatment of glaucoma.

  • Method of converting ocean wave action into electrical energy
    Patent number: 4454429
    Abstract: This invention makes use of the action of ocean waves, converting the water power to electrical energy. This is accomplished by increasing the size of the wave and converting the wave action to hydraulic power, using a turbine and a generator. With this method energy can be stored in tanks (under pressure) and used when needed.
