Cable-Stay Cradle System: The Cable-Stay Cradle System directly impacts the service life of a bridge. The system allows for a continuous stay to be carried from a bridge deck through the pylon and back to the bridge deck. This process eliminates anchorages in the pylon and prevents interaction among the strands of the stay, thus increasing the service life of the bridge.

Activated Carbon Facilitated Oxidation (AC FOX): AC FOX is a new phenomenon whereby activated carbon exhibits a slow oxidation in air over a temperature range of 150 to 375 degrees Celsius. The phenomenon can be used for applications including oxidation of vapor phase organics, destruction of organic liquids, regeneration of spent activated carbon and industrial heat & power generation applications.
