Mark O. Lively, III has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Low pressure tritiation of molecules
    Patent number: 4313911
    Abstract: Molecules are tritiated by depositing molecules of a substance to be tritiated on a supporting substrate in a vacuum chamber, and then subjecting the substance to low pressures of tritium gas. In a second embodiment of the invention, a substance is tritiated by placing the same near, but not in the path of, an electron beam which traverses a chamber; admitting tritium gas into the chamber; and subjecting the tritium to the electron beam thereby generating vibrationally excited tritium gas molecules which collide and react with the substance thus incorporating tritium atoms into the substance.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 13, 1979
    Date of Patent: February 2, 1982
    Assignee: Georgia Tech Research Institute
    Inventors: Thomas F. Moran, James C. Powers, Mark O. Lively, III
