Brandon M. Fuller, Elliottsburg, PA US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090188172BALLASTED STORM WATER RETENTION SYSTEM - A roof system designed to retain water during storms and release it slowly over a period of time includes a polymeric water impervious membrane covered with a drainage board in turn covered with a water retention mat. The water retention mat and drainage board are held in position by ballast, preferably gravel. The mat is designed to retain at least about 25% of a one-inch per hour rainfall and release it gradually over 2 to 3 hours, thereby reducing rain runoff during storms and reducing the load on a storm sewer system07-30-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110049326Cable Anchor - A cable anchor utilizes a spring assembly to reduce tensile stresses on a cable over a wide range of tensile forces. Some examples utilize a plurality of springs, with each spring sequentially acting to reduce tensile stresses on the cable as the tensile force increases. Other examples utilize a reel that permits movement of the cable through rotation of the reel to further reduce stress on the cable.03-03-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090281536Medical Device For Diagnosing and Treating Anomalous Tissue and Method for Doing the Same - Disclosed herein are medical devices for diagnosing and treating anomalous tissue and methods of use. One embodiment of the medical device can comprise an energy source configured to emit at least an excitation beam and a therapeutic beam, a probe coupled to the energy source and configured to propagate the excitation and therapeutic beams with the beams capable of contact with the tissue, a sensor coupled to the probe that detects at least one predefined attribute of radiation emanating from the tissue when the tissue is subjected to the excitation beam and a controller coupled to the energy source and the sensor and programmed to selectively alternatively actuate the energy source to emit the excitation beam and the therapeutic beam in response to the detection of the at least one predefined attribute by the sensor.11-12-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080199352Ex vivo antimicrobial devices and methods - A method and device for destroying and inhibiting exposure to microbes and infection includes a first element and a second element, and a power source. At least one of the elements includes antimicrobial metal, which, when energized by the power source, produces ions that are lethal to microbes. The device can be incorporated into virtually any useful object. During normal use of the object, electrical communication is established between the two elements, causing current supplied from the power source to flow through the antimicrobial metal. The two elements are configured and arranged to ensure that ions flowing from the antimicrobial metal flow through the region in which it is desired to kill microbes. The antimicrobial metal can be on the surface of the element, incorporated into the material making up the element, or provided in any other way that allows the antimicrobial effect to be achieved.08-21-2008
20100100188Prophylactic Bactericidal Implant - A medical implant system is described for inhibiting infection associated with a joint prosthesis implant. An inventive system includes an implant body made of a biocompatible material which has a metal component disposed on an external surface of the implant body. A current is allowed to flow to the metal component, stimulating release of metal ions toxic to microbes, such as bacteria, protozoa, fungi, and viruses. One detailed system is completely surgically implantable in the patient such that no part of the system is external to the patient while the system is in use. In addition, externally controlled devices are provided which allow for modulation of implanted components.04-22-2010
