Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110060551APPARATUS FOR MEASURING DEPTH OF A HYDROPHOBIC LIQUID ON THE SURFACE OF WATER AND METHOD FOR SAME - The present invention relates to a device and method for measuring depth of a hydrophobic liquid, such as oil, on a surface of water. The device uses a conductivity sensor and/or an optical sensor to detect the depth of an oil-water boundary. The device may have a Global Positioning System (GPS) for determining the geographic position of the device. Measurements of oil depth taken at particular geographic locations may be transmitted in real-time by the device to a remote computer in order to generate a depth profile of an oil spill.03-10-2011

20100043317FRICTIONAL DAMPER FOR DAMPING MOVEMENT OF STRUCTURES - The invention is a damper and a method for protecting buildings and similar structural systems from dynamic loading such as loading caused by earthquakes, strong winds or machine vibrations. More specifically, the damper is made from structural members being interconnected in frictional or visco-elastically dampened rotational joints. Due to the dampening of the joints, relative movement between the structural elements is dampened. In particular, the damper is useful for base isolation, e.g., in order to allow a building or a machine to move in a dampened movement relative to its foundation or in order to allow a cable stay of a cable stay bridge to move in a dampened movement relative to its fixation point on the bridge.02-25-2010
