Anti-fingerprint coating construction
InactiveUS20060110537A1Easy to cleanImprove anti-corrosion performanceMaterial nanotechnologyFouling preventionNanometreAntibacterial property
An anti-fingerprint coating construction (23) for application to a surface of a substrate (21) includes a layer formed of a material selected from the group consisting of a hydrophobic nano-composite material, an oleophobic nano-composite material, and a super-amphiphobic nano-composite material. When the anti-fingerprint coating construction is employed on a metal surface or a nonmetal surface, sweat or / and grease on fingers of a user is not liable to be adhered to the surface. Therefore a fingerprint of the user is prevented from being imprinted on the surface, and the surface can remain clean and aesthetically pleasing. Because the anti-fingerprint coating construction is easy to clean, the anti-fingerprint coating construction has good anti-corrosion and antibacterial properties. The anti-fingerprint coating construction contains no chromium, and therefore does not need to be processed by an acid or alkali solution. This makes the anti-fingerprint coating construction environmentally friendly.

Process for the excavation of buried waste
ActiveUS7114880B2Preventing particulate emissionMachines/dredgers working methodsFouling preventionRadioactive contaminationEnvironmental engineering
Disclosed is a method of excavating large quantities of non-homogenous radioactive contaminated waste, desirably without releasing radioactive contaminated dust or exposing personnel to its hazards. The excavation of buried waste is performed in the presence of a suppression fluid that coats the waste and captures and retains particles so that they do not become airborne. Use of this suppression fluid technique allows larger mechanized excavation equipment to be used to perform the work. This keeps workers away from the waste. The waste is excavated and placed inside large steel boxes, such as a roll-off box, by the excavator. The suppression fluid covers the waste in the boxes and prevents particulate emissions from the waste.
