20120176681 | NANOSTRUCTURED ANTI-REFLECTIVE COATINGS FOR SUBSTRATES - Embodiments of the present system and method are useful for chemical deposition, particularly continuous deposition of anti-reflective films. Disclosed systems typically comprise a micromixer and a microchannel applicator. A deposition material or materials is applied to a substrate to form a nanostructured, anti-reflective coating. Uniform and highly oriented surface morphologies of films deposited using disclosed embodiments are clearly improved compared to films deposited by a conventional batch process. In some embodiments, a scratch-resistant, anti-reflective coating is applied to a polycarbonate substrate, such as a lens. In certain embodiments, an anti-reflective coating is applied to a surface of a solar catalytic microreactor suitable for performing endothermic reactions, where energy is provided to the reactor by absorption of solar radiation. The composition and morphology of the material deposited on a substrate can be tailored. The process can be used at low temperatures as a post-deposition, high-temperature annealing step is obviated. | 07-12-2012 |

Each of the screw and the nut components can comprise one or more magnets configured to exert a repulsive force on one or more magnets of the other component as a result of the relative motion. Interactions between the one or more magnets of the screw and the one or more magnets of the nut can allow for conversion between linear motion and rotary motion. One or more tools can be used to aid in manufacturing the screw and/or the nut. In some embodiments additional components can aid in maintaining alignment of the screw and the nut. | 10-08-2009 |

20080206877 | Reactors for selective enhancement reactions and methods of using such reactors - Micro-reactors for selective enhancement of ligands by exponential enrichment (ISOS) include a reactant chamber defined in a fluoropolymer. A target exposure aperture controls a surface area, crystal face or orientation and surface features of a target that is exposed to a random mixture of candidate molecules. The surface area of the target can be selected based on number or concentration of candidate species to enhance candidate competition. The target surface can be formed by deposition of a thin film of a target material on a rigid substrate such as a glass plate. Selected exposure areas are typically substantially smaller than a characteristic cross sectional area of a reactant chamber volume and can be at least as small as 0.1 mm | 08-28-2008 |
