Patent number: 8287155Abstract: A device for simulating and/or attracting aquatic life forms is disclosed. The device includes an electromagnetic module with a dry battery that is activated when exposed electrodes of the dry battery are placed in contact with a common electrolyte, such as sea water. The dry battery generates gas bubbles and sound in an aquatic environment, which attracts the aquatic life forms. In further embodiments of the invention, the device includes one or more removable jackets with holes or vents that facilities a controllable release of the gas bubbles generated by the dry battery.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2010Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Assignee: G.

Publication number: 20110293968Abstract: The present invention is directed to a starch-based battery system. The starch-based battery system uses a rheological and replaceable starch gluten electrolyte that generates colloidal starch gel adhesive contacted with and/or attached on electrodes to generate current for powering electronic devices. The starch-based battery system that includes control circuit and standard cap module replaces a conventional dry cell battery or is integrated with electronic devices to power, for example, flash-light, lighting ornaments or magnetic actuated motion products and toys. In other embodiments of the invention, the starch-based battery system is integrated into a device for attracting aquatic life forms in an aquatic environment, wherein the starch-based battery powers a light source and/or sound source and also the starch gluten electrolyte acts as bait for attracting aquatic life forms within the aquatic environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2011Publication date: December 1, 2011Inventors: Wing Fai Leung, Po Fong Cheng

Patent number: 8011857Abstract: The present invention describes an extraction system (100,100a) for expediting removal of a footing (105) that is embedded in a seabed or marine floor. The extraction system provides a supply of pressurized fluid (140) to a chamber from where the pressurized fluid exudes through porous members (122,122a, etc) located on the base (114) of the footing (105). When an uplifting force is applied to the footing (105) for its removal, the pressurized fluid (140) exudes out through the porous member (122,122a, etc.) to compensate or reduce suction induced beneath the footing, without fluidizing or channeling of the seabed soil, thereby expediting removal of the footing (105).Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2009Date of Patent: September 6, 2011Assignees: Offshore Technology Development Pte Ltd, National University of SingaporeInventors: Kok Seng Foo, Chin Kau Quah, Okky Ahmad Purwana, Yean Khow Chow, Chun Fai Leung
