Abstract

A method for maintaining the viability and subsequent activity of microorganisms utilized in a variety of environments to promote biodecontamination of surfaces. One application involves the decontamination of concrete surfaces. Encapsulation of microbial influenced degradation (MID) microorganisms has shown that MID activity is effectively maintained under passive conditions, that is, without manual addition of moisture or nutrients, for an extended period of time.

Apparatus and method for maintaining an article at a temperature that is less than the temperature of the ambient air

Patent Klett, James; Klett, Lynn

An apparatus for maintaining the temperature of an article at a temperature that is below the ambient air temperature includes an enclosure having an outer wall that defines an interior chamber for holding a volume of sealed air. An insert is disposed inside of the chamber and has a body that is made of a porous graphite foam material. A vacuum pump penetrates the outer wall and fluidly connects the sealed air in the interior chamber with the ambient air outside of the enclosure. The temperatures of the insert and article is maintained at temperatures that are below the ambientmore » « less

Systems and methods to maintain optimum stoichiometry for reactively sputtered films

Patent

The present invention relates to systems and methods for preparing reactively sputtered films. The films are generally thin transition metal oxide (TMO) films having an optimum stoichiometry for any useful device (e.g., a sub-stoichiometric thin film for a memristor device). Described herein are systems, methods, and calibrations processes that employ rapid control of partial pressures to obtain the desired film.
