Abstract

Biological material fouling assessment systems and methods are described. According to one aspect, a biological material fouling assessment system includes processing circuitry configured to access image data of an image of a surface of a substrate which has been fouled with biological material, wherein the image data comprises intensity information regarding a plurality of pixels of the image, and wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to process the intensity information regarding the pixels of the image to generate information which is indicative of an amount of the fouling of the biological material upon the surface of the substrate.

Local thermal actuation of material surfaces via micro- and nanowire heating for the prevention of cellular attachment and biological fouling

Patent Allman, Steve L.; Doktycz, Mitchel J.; Retterer, Scott T.; ...

The invention relates in various embodiments to a composite useful as e.g. a medical implant device, and a method of treating fouling, including biofouling as may occur on an implant. The composite comprises a matrix phase and a patterned phase that comprises an energetically activatable wire intermixed with the matrix phase, the wire when energetically activated, which includes thermal activation, causes modification of at least a portion of the matrix phase to treat fouling that might otherwise occur. The method of treating biofouling may be practiced on a patent while the medical implant of the invention is in situ.

System and method for disinfection and fouling prevention in the treatment of water

Patent Cho, Young I.; Fridman, Alexander; Cho, Daniel J.; ...

A treatment system for treating water, such as produced water that is produced during hydraulic fracturing. The system employs a combination of a plasma spark discharge and an RF oscillating electric field. The plasma spark discharge and the RF oscillating electric field may be employed simultaneously or in an overlapping manner within a chamber to treat the water. The treatment system is able to kill microorganisms as well as reduce or eliminate fouling due to, for example, bicarbonates. In some embodiments, grids are employed to further enhance the heat produced by the RF oscillating electric field.

Method And System For Examining Biological Materials Using Low Power Cw Excitation Raman Spectroscopy.

Patent Alfano, Robert R [Bronx, NY]; Wang, Wubao [Flushing, NY]

A method and system for examining biological materials using low-power cw excitation Raman spectroscopy. In accordance with the teachings of the invention, a low-power continuous wave (cw) pump laser beam and a low-power cw Stokes (or anti-Stokes) probe laser beam simultaneously illuminate a biological material and traverse the biological material in collinearity. The pump beam, whose frequency is varied, is used to induce Raman emission from the biological material. The intensity of the probe beam, whose frequency is kept constant, is monitored as it leaves the biological material. When the difference between the pump and probe excitation frequencies is equalmore »« less

Method of bonding functional surface materials to substrates and applications in microtechnology and anti-fouling

Patent Feng, Xiangdong [West Richland, WA]; Liu, Jun [West Richland, WA]; Liang, Liang [Richland, WA]

A simple and effective method to bond a thin coating of poly(N-isopropylacylamide) (NIPAAm) on a glass surface by UV photopolymerization, and the use of such a coated surface in nano and micro technology applications. A silane coupling agent with a dithiocarbamate group is provided as a photosensitizer preferably, (N,N'-diethylamine) dithiocarbamoylpropyl-(trimethoxy) silane (DATMS). The thiocarbamate group of the sensitizer is then bonded to the glass surface by coupling the silane agent with the hydroxyl groups on the glass surface. The modified surface is then exposed to a solution of NIPAAm and a crosslinking agent which may be any organic molecule havingmore »« less
