  • BRINE DISPOSAL SYSTEM FOR A BRINE SOURCE
    Publication number: 20120043268
    Abstract: Brine disposal systems are configured to receive brine from a brine source and to passively collect seawater from a nearby ocean during high tide using one or more tidal forces. Tidal movements during high tide, low tide, or both may be used to mix and thereby dilute the brine with the seawater. The mixture of seawater and brine is then passively discharged into the ocean during low tide using the tidal force, thereby minimizing the impacts on the marine ecosystem.

  • DOSIMETRY USING SIGMA SINGLET OXYGEN SPECTROSCOPY
    Publication number: 20120040392
    Abstract: A method includes measuring a photoluminescence of sigma singlet state oxygen decaying to triplet state oxygen. A dosage of delta singlet state oxygen is determined based on the photoluminescence.

  • HIGH DIELECTRIC PERMITTIVITY MATERIALS FROM COMPOSITES OF LOW DIMENSIONAL METALLIC SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20110212313
    Abstract: Metal nanoparticles are assembled in interrupted metal strands or other structures of characteristic dimensions and orientation to generate a giant dielectric response through a modified GE effect. Careful selection and modification of the host material and synthesis also leads to low dielectric breakdown voltages. In addition, the high dielectric composite material is employed in material configurations that are more scalable for industrial and consumer applications.

  • PHOTOSENSITIZER-CONTAINING COMPOSITION
    Publication number: 20110206737
    Abstract: Techniques related to a photosensitizer-containing composition, the preparation method and the applications thereof, are generally described. One example photosensitizer-containing composition may include a carrier; and a photosensitizer attached to the surface of the carrier, wherein the carrier includes a first material having a first refractive index and a second material having a second refractive index, and the first refractive index is greater than the second refractive index.
