SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: USP 5,567,078 is a method of controlling a
breakup ice run without interfering with the natural river flow, thus
reducing the possibility of flooding caused by the break up of river
ice.
USP 5,567,950 is a passive, rigid, durable, and inexpensive lane
marker device that allows for remote observations of visual and
infrared electromagnetic signatures.
USP 5,585,799 is a system, unaffected by darkness or low visibility
conditions, for detecting river ice motions and determining river ice
kinematic measurements without the need for a human observer.
USP 5,588,783 is an improved method of soil stabilization utilizing
a variety of natural or synthetic fibers and adhesive coating for use
in such things as berms or embankments.
USP 5,595,561 is a method of producing a concrete wasteform with an
aggregate comprised of pellets formed from a waste-polymer mixture
which are treated with an epoxy coating and a silicate-based powder.
USP 5,601,906 is a method and apparatus to prevent wildlife from
ingesting contaminated sediments in wetlands and other areas where
sediment forms part of the natural setting for the wildlife, avoiding
the destruction or alteration of the natural habitat, or the
construction of landfill liners or caps.
USP 5,605,570 is a composition and method of utilizing blast-
furnace slag waste products or other matallurgical slags, sodium
peroxide, and water to produce a foamed concrete that is strong,
lightweight, and which hardens and gains strength rapidly.
USP 5,605,744 is a material and method of composing rigid composite
laminates of paper and fibrous glass layers for use in camouflage,
concealment and deception.
USP 5,609,418 is a high resolution solid/liquid, pressure
responsive thermometer which measures the large pressure changes which
result when a mixture of a liquid and its solid are subjected to a
temperature change below the equilibrium melting temperature of the
bulk material.
USP 5,614,659 is a device for accurately and repeatedly measuring
pore-air pressure in the vicinity of an explosive blast through the use
of a shock resistant housing containing a plurality of pressure sensing
ports, with a filter mounted in each port and a sensor within the
housing for sensing the air pressure at each of the ports.
USP 5,614,893 is a device for obtaining collecting, and
transmitting data indicative of the electromagnetic properties of the
surrounding earth which can be used to monitor the structural integrity
of earthen works, such as levees, to determine the movement of
contaminants through a
[[Page 41809]]
ground area, to determine contaminants in landfills, dredge materials,
or groundwater, or to detect the movement of heavy equipment over the
ground.
USP 5,624,492 is a method of slowing down the hardening of cement
without using chemical retarders by heat treating the cement to form an
amorphous, glassy shell on the outside of the cement particles.
USP 5,634,742 is a new type of bulkhead for use in the repair and
maintenance of dam gates which can easily be assembled and floated into
position adjacent to a dam gate.
USP 5,635,710 is an improved device for measuring radiation in
subsurface formations by utilizing a detachable sleeve to strengthen
and protect the sensor probe, and once the probe has been inserted into
the subsurface, the detachable sleeve allows for more accurate
measurement of radiation levels.
USP 5,639,195 is a novel fastener which can be used either to
fasten parallel spaced panels together and maintaining a predetermined
spacing between panels, or to fasten panels parallel to walls while
maintaining a predetermined space between the panel and the wall.
USP 5,644,314 is a portable ground penetrating high resolution
radar system that can perform target and media identification in real-
time utilizing a digitally controlled phase shifter.
USP 5,647,927 is an automated system which adjusts the air pressure
in the tires of a vehicle to optimize fuel consumption, tire wear, and
road deterioration.
USP 5,648,724 is an apparatus for detecting the presence, location,
and extent of moisture in a roof by transmitting an electrical pulse
through a transmission line embedded in the roof and using a signal
analyzer to interpret the transmitted pulses.
USP 5,651,200 is an improved small augerhead type dredge system
which reduces clogging of the system's pump impeller intake eye by
utilizing a cutter/grate device to prevent ingestion of debris into the
system's pump by cutting up vegetation and excluding debris prior to
entry into the pump's impeller eye, and, by utilizing a transition box
structure behind the augerhead that has a back-flush and a manual
clean-out box.
Applications for an exclusive or partially exclusive license should
contain the information set forth in 37 CFR 404.8. Applications will be
evaluated utilizing the following criteria:
(1) Ability to manufacture and market the technology; (2)
Manufacturing and marketing capability; (3) Time required to bring
technology to market and production rate; (4) Royalties; (5) Technical
capabilities; and, (6) Small Business status.
