US Patent:
2012019, Aug 2, 2012
Filed:
Nov 30, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/307414
Inventors:

Anna Dyson - Troy NY, US
Assignee:
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute - Troy NY
International Classification:
E02B 3/04
US Classification:
405 15
Abstract:
A biomechanical structure for coastline remediation includes one or more structural assemblies. The structural assemblies include a distribution of one or more members; one or more anchors connected to each of one or more members; and one or more connection members. The anchors employed by the biomechanical structure may be fixed, floating, or a combination of fixed and floating anchors. The structural assemblies may be staggered, inline, or semi-random in configuration. The biomechanical structure may include metals, composites, polymers, biodegradable materials, or combinations thereof in its components. The biomechanical structures may incorporate one or more components for mechanical or material power generation. The biomechanical structures may include one or more seed capture devices, such as baskets or mesh. A biomechanical system for coastline remediation includes one or more biomechanical structures. A method for coastline remediation includes the step of incorporating a biomechanical system into the existing coastline morphology.

Solar Enclosure For Water Reuse

US Patent:
2012023, Sep 20, 2012
Filed:
Nov 30, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/307442
Inventors:
Anna Dyson - Troy NY, US
Jason Vollen - Brooklyn NY, US
Mark Mistur - Troy NY, US
Peter Stark - Brooklyn NY, US
Kristin Malone - Brooklyn NY, US
Matt Gindlesparger - Philadelphia PA, US
Assignee:
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute - Troy NY
International Classification:
C02F 1/30
US Classification:
21074809, 210153
Abstract:
A system and method for treating wastewater using concentrated solar energy are described herein. The system includes a lens that is positioned either on or adjacent, or forms part of a façade of a building. A fluid passageway, through which the wastewater is circulated, is positioned either within or adjacent the lens. The lens is configured to direct solar energy onto the wastewater to treat the wastewater.
