  • Tuned mass damper for floating structures
    Patent number: 11932360
    Abstract: A tuned mass damper (TMD) system in combination with a floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) platform includes a barge type FOWT platform having a hull configured to have a wind turbine tower mounted thereon. A TMD system is mounted in the hull and has a first TMD configured to operate at a first frequency, and a second TMD configured to operate at a second frequency different than the first frequency.

  • High efficiency method for algal transformation
    Patent number: 10351860
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the seminal discovery of a highly efficient method of transforming algal cells. Specifically, the invention relates to a novel method of delivering a plasmid containing a nucleic acid molecule to algal cells by bacterial conjugation wherein the plasmid remains episomal in the algal cell through multiple generations.

  • Ring oscillator gates in a matrix for aberrant logic gate timing detection
    Patent number: 6891442
    Abstract: An array of circuitry forming row and column ring oscillators is provided to determine aberrant gates in an integrated circuit. Control logic is coupled to the rows and columns to enable a ring oscillator of either a row or a column to oscillate. Based on outputs of these oscillations, aberrant gates in an integrated circuit may be more readily studied.
