In a process for transferring solute from a liquid feed solution to a liquid extractant which is substantially immiscible with the feed solution, one side of a porous membrane is contacted with the...
A device and method for detecting the presence of insects in a structure utilize a plurality of transceivers, each of which generates separate and distinct microwave signals and receives separate a...
The present invention utilizes a filter that works on an algorithm that filters out multiuser and multi-path interference. The algorithm is programmed into the DSP processors of receiver handsets a...
A rotating brush assembly for cleaning shellfish predator screens is provided.A rotating brush assembly for cleaning shellfish predator screens is provided.
A glow plasma discharge device having an electrode (20, 40) covered with perforated dielectric (30) is disclosed.
A plasmon is a quantum of plasma oscillation. The plasmon can be considered a quasiparticle since it arises from the quantization of plasma oscillations, just like phonons are quantizations of mech...
Porous membranes typically contain larger voids than non-porous membranes which have interconnected pores significantly larger than the molecular diameters of gases passing through them. Transfer t...
Demining or mine clearance is the process of removing either land mines, or naval mines, from an area, while minesweeping describes the act of detecting of mines. There are two distinct types of mi...
Spectroscopy /spɛkˈtrɒskəpi/ is the study of the interaction between matter and radiated energy.[1][2] Historically, spectroscopy originated through the study of visible light dispersed according t...
Vibration is a mechanical phenomenon whereby oscillations occur about an equilibrium point. The oscillations may be periodic such as the motion of a pendulum or random such as the movement of a tir...
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule that encodes the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms and many viruses. DNA is a nucleic acid; alongs...
Apart from structural wood preservation measures, there are a number of different (chemical) preservatives and processes (also known as timber treatment, lumber treatment or pressure treatment) tha...
A polymer (/ˈpɒlɨmər/[2][3]) (poly-, "many" + -mer, "parts") is a large molecule, or macromolecule, composed of many repeated subunits, known as monomers. Because of their broad range of properties...
