| 20120118552 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THERMAL MANAGEMENT OF ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS - The device for extracting heat from carbon nanotubes wires or cables used under high power applications is provided. The device can include a thermally conductive member for placement against a heat source and for directing heat away from the heat source to a heat dissipating medium. The device can further include an electrically conductive member positioned on the thermally conductive member and made from a layer of carbon nanotubes, to reduce electrical resistance along the electrically conductive member. A geometric pattern can be imparted to the electrically conductive member to enhance dissipation of heat away from the thermally conductive member and the heat source. | 05-17-2012 |
| 20120045385 | Systems and Methods for Controlling Chirality of Nanotubes - A system is provided that can be utilized to generate nanotubes with substantially similar chirality. The system provides a resonant frequency, keyed to a desired radial breathing mode linked to the desired chirality, that causes a template of catalysts particles or nanotubes to oscillate at the provided resonant frequency, so as to stimulate growing nanotubes to oscillate at a corresponding resonant frequency. This resonant frequency can be a result of a high frequency field or the natural heat radiation generated by the system. | 02-23-2012 |
| 20110316183 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FORMATION AND HARVESTING OF NANOFIBROUS MATERIALS - A system that receives nanomaterials, forms nanofibrous materials therefrom, and collects these nanofibrous materials for subsequent applications. The system include a housing coupled to a synthesis chamber within which nanotubes are produced. A spindle may extend from within the housing, across the inlet, and into the chamber for collecting nanotubes and twisting them into a yarn. A body portion may be positioned at an intake end of the spindle. The body portion may include a pathway for imparting a twisting force onto the flow of nanotubes and guide them into the spindle for collection and twisting into the nanofibrous yarn. Methods and apparatuses for forming nanofibrous are also disclosed. | 12-29-2011 |
