20080213162 | Amplification of Carbon Nanotubes Via Seeded-Growth Methods - The present invention is directed towards methods (processes) of providing large quantities of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) of defined diameter and chirality (i.e., precise populations). In such processes, CNT seeds of a pre-selected diameter and chirality are grown to many (e.g., hundreds) times their original length. This is optionally followed by cycling some of the newly grown material back as seed material for regrowth. Thus, the present invention provides for the large-scale production of precise populations of CNTs, the precise composition of such populations capable of being optimized for a particular application (e.g., hydrogen storage). The present invention is also directed to complexes of CNTs and transition metal catalyst precurors, such complexes typically being formed en route to forming CNT seeds. | 09-04-2008 |

20090309967 | Hand-held inspection tool and method - The hand-held inspection tool enhances the ability of an on-site inspector to detect and communicate the presence of contamination on an object or in an area. An on-site inspector directs an excitation light in the sensing head of the tool into an area of interest. If the targeted contamination is present, the excitation light causes the contamination to emit fluorescence. The emitted fluorescent light passes through a narrow spectral band-pass video camera filter and is detected by a video camera mounted in the tool sensing head. The video camera transmits the image to a display visible to the on-site inspector. The invention also includes a means of recording, documenting, and wirelessly communicating the inspection process so that remotely located personnel can view the inspection, and respond to the inspection findings in real time. | 12-17-2009 |

20090125572 | METHOD FOR MANAGING RETENTION OF DATA ON WORM DISK MEDIA BASED ON EVENT NOTIFICATION - The present invention provides for a method and a computer system for managing the retention of data on WORM disk media employing an event-based scheme of retaining data. The protection of the files is accomplished by establishing a retention period for the WORM disk media file volume containing the data files, followed by a reclamation period. The retention and reclamation periods are managed by comparing the amount of reclaimable space on the file volume to a threshold value, and if the threshold is not exceeded, the retention period of the file volume is extended by a default retention extension value. If the threshold value is exceeded, the files are moved to another file volume, and the retention period of this target file volume is extended based on the longer of the default retention extension value and the latest expiration date of the file contained within the file volume. | 05-14-2009 |
