  • Device for simulating explosive blast and imaging biological specimen
    Patent number: 9217698
    Abstract: A device and method for simulating a blast shock wave of the type produced by explosive devices such as bombs. A pneumatic charge releases a blast shock wave along a conduit which terminates in a first outlet that communicates with the atmosphere and a second outlet that is sealed to a specimen chamber. The first outlet has a quick release valve that prevents venting of the pneumatic charge to the atmosphere until the pressure at the valve reaches a predetermined level that opens the valve. The pneumatic charge therefore initially flows through the second outlet to direct the blast into the specimen chamber, until subsequent opening of the quick release valve redirects the gas flow out of the first outlet and rapidly reduces pressure in the chamber. The blast wave closely simulates the Friedlander curve, and its effects are viewed during instead of only after the blast is completed.

  • Sensing phage-triggered ion cascade (SEPTIC)
    Patent number: 7229754
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for detecting bacteria and a nano-well device having one or more input/output connections about a gap and one or more bacteriophages at or about the gap that trigger a detectable electrical field fluctuation when the one or more bacteriophages contact a cognate target within a liquid sample.
