US Patent:

8458839, Jun 11, 2013

Filed:

Jan 11, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/685317

Inventors:

Paul Westley Porter - Jacksonville FL, US

Assignee:

Encon Technologies, LLC - Jacksonville FL

International Classification:

E01D 21/00
E01D 19/02

US Classification:

14 771, 14 75

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for replacing a bridge using pre-cast materials, including steel piles, steel reinforced concrete caps, and metallic male and female connectors. The pre-cast materials can be formed to precise standards in a controlled factory environment before being brought to the worksite for the bridge replacement project. Further, the male and female connectors provide for a quick and robust way to connect the caps to the piles without the use of welding between the piles and the caps.

Appl. No.:

10/141828

Inventors:

Thomas Selvig - Jacksonville FL, US
Paul Porter - Ponte Vedra Beach FL, US

International Classification:

A01N063/00

US Classification:

424/093100

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to biologic-chemical herbicide compositions (BCHs) for controlling or preventing weeds that include one or more chemical herbicides and microorganisms including gram-positive and/or gram-negative bacteria and yeast. The addition of a biologic microbial component to one or more chemical herbicides significantly increases the efficacy of the chemical herbicide thereby permitting lower amounts to be used to achieve a desired level of weed control. Any chemical herbicide or combination of herbicides can be used, including fatty acid herbicides like Round-UP. The BCHs typically also include an optional nutrient component in an amount sufficient to support the growth and replication of the microorganisms. If the BCH is applied to soil rich in nutrients, or if the crops would support the growth of the microorganisms in the BCHs, then the nutrients can be omitted.

International Classification:

A01N063/00
A01N065/00

US Classification:

424/093100

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to biologic-chemical fungicide compositions (BCFs) that include one or more chemical fungicides, and microorganisms including gram-positive and/or gram-negative bacteria and yeast. Any chemical fungicide or combination of fungicides can be used. The BCFs typically also include an optional nutrient component in an amount sufficient to support the growth and replication of the microorganisms. If the BCF is applied to soil rich in nutrients, or if the crops would support the growth of the microorganisms in the BCFs, then the nutrients can be left out. Compositions having a biologic component of microorganisms in addition to one or more chemical fungicides are significantly more effective than chemical fungicides applied without microorganisms. The invention is also directed to chemical-free biologic fungicides that contain microorganisms with suppressive activity against pathogenic fungi, and nutrients.
