20110141464 | Apparatus for measuring the inner surface of a culver or other tunnel defining structure imbedded in the ground - The inner surface of an underground tunnel defining structure, such as a culvert or pipe, is measured by apparatus including a portable hand held battery powered laser unit releasably attached to a rotor disk supported within the tunnel by an adjustable stand or tripod for rotation on a generally horizontal axis. The disk has peripherally spaced notches which receive a spring-biased latch member for positioning the disk and laser unit at predetermined angular positions about the axis. The laser unit emits a laser beam to a target on the inner surface of the structure and displays on the unit a precision distance reading from the laser unit to the target. The distance reading for each target is entered in a chart for comparison with a prior measurement reading to indicate changes in the shape or profile of the inner surface. | 06-16-2011 |

20080286549 | Nanothin polymer films with selective pores and method of use thereof - A method of preparing nanothin polymer films having uniform and selectively sized pores utilizing pore forming templates. Lipids and pore forming templates are dissolved into a first solution. The solvent is removed thereby creating a lipid bilayer with pore forming templates dispersed throughout. The bilayer is hydrated and monomers and crosslinkers are added to create a second solution. A nanothin film with pore forming templates is created through polymerization of said second solution. The pore forming templates are dissolved into a third solution by addition of a chemical in which the pore forming template is soluble, but the lipid bilayer is insoluble. This third solution is separated from the mixture leaving a nanothin polymer film with pores of a uniform thickness and surface area. In summary, the guided assembly method presented here suggests a new general strategy for the fabrication of nanothin materials with controlled permeability, which provides improvements over the currently existing technology. | 11-20-2008 |
