Ultra Sonic waves used to Clean Fouling.
November 16th, 2008 by AndrewThere is several different, products that are used on ships to remove fouling with Ultra Sonic waves.
one is: Shipsonic Ultra Sonic Algae Remover for ships.
The Shipsonic is specially designed to prevent algae build-up under the ship’s waterline, there by preventing growth on the ship’s hull.
The Shipsonic produces an ultra-sonic wave pattern, which travels through polyester, metal and water and prevent the build-up of algae on the ship’s hull. The Shipsonic consists of an electrically powered 240 AC Volt electronic control box and a transducer, which is connected via a three-core 10-meter cable. The transducer is either installed inside the ship’s bilge in a holder, which is glued to the ship’s hull

Another use for Ultra Sonic Waves is cleaning of under water pipes.
Since fouling generated inside pipes of chemistry plant equipment, shortens “its life”, periodical maintenance such as cleaning or replacement is needed. Therefore, the development of a safe and sanitary method of preventing a corrosion and blockage inside pipes is desired. In this study, a vibration system, composed of a bolt-clamped Langevin transducer and a pipe, was employed to experimentally study the possibility of fouling removal. In the experiment, a flexural vibration was excited in a pipe containing fouling using ultrasonic waves. When the pipe was made to vibrate, with calcium carbonate or starch used as the fouling, it was shown that the fouling was diffused into the air, and except at the node of the flexural vibration, the fouling was removed completely. Also, the result showed that a higher input voltage to the transducer was more effective in removing the fouling.

Aquaculture: Open Innovation Links
November 6th, 2007 by AndrewThe aim of this post is to create a collection point for open innovation web sites that offer innovation components up for trade. An objective is to provide innovators seeking to locate innovation components with a place from which to embark on their search.
You might care to contribute by sharing your views on the usefulness of some of these innovation component collections or by raising our awareness to collections we are yet to identify.
Our stated focus is on aquaculture but there is a wide variety of disciplines that can be involved in the delivery of aquaculture product from a glint in the eye of a couple of milt and egg contributors on some romantic sandy stream bottom through to the presentation of sashimi or gormand bait in a six star restaurant. Given this we are pleased to include in our list all forms of innovation component collections not just this from sources of aquaculture IP.
Here is the beginnings of our resource list:
