Patent CA-2915180-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HUNTER CARSTEN
IPC: B63B1/16
Filed: 2015-12-16
Abstract: This design is used to improve hull planing performance by creating bilaterally symmetric contoured bottom cavity(s), which may differ in dimension and aspect, and which run through the bottom of the hull. The cavities act in a jet-like fashion to create a lower drag coefficient through reduced contact area with the water (planing) while maintaining sufficient control and without porpoising or other instabilities. This design creates additional reduction in drag through air incorporation within the water stream flowing under the hull, achieved through surface modification within the contoured channel. This design has application to surf boards, wind surf boards, kite surf boards, stand up paddle boards, boat hulls, airplane fuselage and sea plane pontoons.

Title: Fabrication of hierarchical silica nanomembranes and uses thereof for solid phase extraction of nucleic acids
Inventor: WANG TZA-HUEI
IPC: C12M1/14
Filed: 2014-07-28
Abstract: The present invention provides a novel method to fabricate silica nanostructures on thin polymer films based on silica deposition and self-wrinkling induced by thermal shrinkage.

The inventive silica nanomembranes are suitable for nucleic acid purification and isolation and demonstrated better performance than commercial particles in terms of DNA recovery yield and integrity. In addition, the silica nanomembranes have extremely high nucleic acid capacity due to its significantly enlarged specific surface area of silica. Methods of use and devices comprising the silica nanomembranes are also provided.

The switches of the second pair have opposite switching states and are connected between a respective transformer and a load, e.g., a transducer, speak, or motor. Each switch receives released energy from the respective transformer. A switching state of each switch of the second pair changes in response to a detected zero voltage crossing of the input signal to transfer the released energy to the load. A system includes the device and the load.
