  • Apparatus and method for constructing coastal revetment
    Patent number: 11230816
    Abstract: A revetment construction apparatus includes a reusable plunger device and a pair of panels coupled with a movable joint. The plunger includes a box portion having an open bottom and a plurality of sides, including an open front side, a rear side opposite the front side, and a pair of spaced apart lateral sides extending between the front and rear sides. The plunger further includes a mast portion extending vertically upward from the box portion and providing at a top end thereof a picking cap for engagement by a construction machine. The panels include front and bottom panels extending, respectively, along the front and open bottom of the box portion. Each of the panels is a reinforced anti-erosion fabric panel coupled to the box portion with breakaway fasteners configured to passively detach from the box portion upon lifting of the plunger after the box portion has been loaded with revetment foundation rock.

  • Self assembly of sensor membranes
    Patent number: 6432629
    Abstract: Electrode membrane combinations for use in biosensors to detect analytes in a sample and methods for making and storing same are disclosed. In one aspect, a method is provided for producing a first layer electrode membrane comprising: (1) Forming a solution containing Linker Lipid A, the disulfide of mercaptoacetic acid (MAAD) or similar molecule, linker Gramicidin B, membrane spanning lipid C (MSL-C) and membrane spanning lipid D (MSL-D) or other suitable linker molecules and other ion channel combinations; (2) Contacting an electrode containing a clean gold surface with the solution, the disulfide containing components in the solution thus adsorbing onto the gold surface of the electrode; (3) Rinsing the electrode with a suitable organic solvent; and (4) Removing the excess organic solvent used for rinsing.
