Shelton Wing In Ground Effect

US Patent:
2007026, Nov 15, 2007
Filed:
May 11, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/432170
Inventors:
David Shelton - Winnetka IL, US
International Classification:
B64C 39/12
US Classification:
24404500R
Abstract:
Wing in ground effect vehicles operate near the surface to acquire benefits in aerodynamic performance. However, a lack of sufficient stability has been a frequent limitation for such vehicles. The disclosed invention is a wing in ground effect vehicle that comprises a plurality of mechanical devices to acquire stability in roll and height with respect to the surface. Each device comprises a pivotally mounted aerodynamic lifting surface, surface contacting element, and interconnecting structure. The disclosed arrangement of these components actively determines the angle of attack of the aerodynamic lifting surfaces and produces vehicle stability in roll and height with respect to the surface.

Microbiological Control In Aqueous Systems

US Patent:
7985413, Jul 26, 2011
Filed:
Mar 5, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/398260
Inventors:
Jonathan N. Howarth - Modesto CA, US
Christopher J. Nalepa - Zachary LA, US
Michael J. Sanders - Little Rock AR, US
David L. Shelton - Northfield IL, US
Assignee:
Albemarle Corporation - Richmond VA
International Classification:
A01N 25/12
US Classification:
424409, 210754, 424421, 514389
Abstract:
Microbiological control is achieved by continuously and inexpensively dosing water in contact with biofilm, or that comes into contact with biofilm, using a highly effective biocide that provides very effective microbiocidal control of planktonic microorganisms and of biofilm species, even where the biofilm infestations have been in existence for long periods of time and thus have encased themselves in a substantial quantity of slimy defensive polysaccharide layers or films. In addition, the biocide used makes possible significant reduction in copper and/or iron surfaces in contact with the water as compared to N,N′-bromochloro-5,5-dimethyl hydantoin. Still other advantages are made possible by the described technology.
