20090262350 | Automated analysis system for detection and quantification of biomolecules by measurement of changes in liquid crystal orientation - The present invention provides systems and methods for data acquisition and image analysis that utilize twisted nematic liquid crystals (“TNLCs”) to create maps of bio/chemical functionality patterned on surfaces. The method involves the acquisition of a series of images of TNLC film that contacts the analytic surface followed by analysis of the series of images to yield maps of twist angle of the liquid crystal across the surface. This analysis technique effectively condenses a large data set (stack of images) into a compact form (map of twist angle), revealing features on the surface that were not apparent in the individual images comprising the original stack. | 10-22-2009 |

Septic tank effluent is collected in the recirculation tank, from which it is continually dosed by means of a pump to the top of the treatment media of the recirculating filter through pressure compensating drip emitters. Continuous dosing of diluted residential septic tank effluent through drip irrigation emitters provides a slow consistent application of liquid rich in organic material and pathogens over the treatment media. The treated effluent is then recirculated if water is low or went to final disposal. | 11-17-2011 |

20090041541 | Recessed snowplowable pavement marker - A recessed snowplowable reflective pavement marker is mounted in a shallow elongated groove in a highway surface to expose the marker to headlights of oncoming motor vehicles. The marker has a plastic housing with a pocket for holding the reflector and two sidewalls that support positioning tabs to overlie the uncut pavement. These tabs maintain markers at a fixed depth below the pavement. Two other upstanding sidewalls extend laterally in the groove and terminate at the lower edge of the reflective area of the reflector. These sidewalls prevent adhesive from entering the reflector pocket. The function of the positioning tabs and lateral sidewalls plus the requirement that headlights need only illuminate this reflective area and not the reflector's non reflective base serve to reduce groove depth by 50% less than prior art. This lightweight plastic housing and shallower groove reduce installation costs and enhance marker safety and performance. | 02-12-2009 |

20110315248 | LOW DRAG ASYMMETRIC TETRAHEDRAL VORTEX GENERATORS - An asymmetric tetrahedral vortex generator that provides for control of three-dimensional flow separation over an underlying surface by bringing high momentum outer region flow to the wall of the structure using the generated vortex. The energized near-wall flow remains attached to the structure surface significantly further downstream.

When optimized, the device produces very low base drag on structures by keeping flow attached on the leeside surface thereof. This device can: on hydraulic structures, prevent local scour, deflect debris, and reduce drag; improve heat transfer between a flow and an adjacent surface, i.e., heat exchanger or an air conditioner; reduce drag, flow separation, and associated acoustic noise on airfoils, hydrofoils, cars, boats, submarines, rotors, etc. during subsonic or supersonic conditions; and, reduce radar signatures by using faceted edges with angles amenable to stealth technologies. | 12-29-2011 |
