  • Patent number: 8966774
    Abstract: Provided are embodiments of a section marking apparatus and method for dividing a geological survey site into one or more sections. In some embodiments, the section marking apparatus includes a case part, a fixing shaft part, a section marking part, and a driving pin part. The fixing shaft part is accommodated in the case part. The section marking part is coupled to the fixing shaft part, received in the case part, and has a marker string configured to be extracted to the outside of the case part. The driving pin part is coupled to the fixing shaft part and configured to be driven into a ground surface to secure the section marking apparatus to the ground surface. Accordingly, the section marking apparatus can be used to divide a site when the ground is flat or when the ground is uneven and/or has a slope.

  • Patent number: 8715611
    Abstract: An iron oxyhydroxide includes a plurality of iron oxyhydroxide octahedra components, a plurality of chloride components and at least one of germanium hydroxide components or germanium oxide components. The iron oxyhydroxide octahedra components form a tunnel-type structure. The chloride components are disposed in a tunnel of the tunnel-type structure and bonded to at least one of the iron hydroxide octahedra components. The germanium hydroxide components or the germanium oxide components substitute for at least one of the chloride components.
