20100113111 | Radiation Redirecting External Case For Portable Communication Device and Antenna Embedded In Battery of Portable Communication Device - An advanced antenna or set of antennae for a wireless device is provided by embedding the antennae into the battery case or generally the largest surface area of a wireless phone. The antenna connections are made through the battery's connections to the wireless device. The antenna design can be compact and located in any area of the battery. The antenna design can be thin and flat, located at the back surface of the battery or the large rear surface of a wireless phone, facing away from the user.

This feature is preserved for a multi-band operation because a digital phase shifter is used between two radiating antennae. An external case is used as a complement to the wireless phone to provide additional antennae, power and capability. | 05-06-2010 |

20110188623 | Rotating High Density Fusion Reactor for aneutronic and neutronic fusion - An energy-producing fusion device produces fusion of neutral atoms and ions in an “aneutronic fusion” manner without neutrons as productsutilizes strong ion-neutral coupling at high neutral densities. Ions and neutrals rotate together in a cylindrical chamber due to frequent collisions. High magnetic forces make the attainment of high rotation energy possible; the magnetic field in a medium can be set at very high values because of the absence of magnetic charges. The repeated acceleration by strong magnetic forces in the azimuthal direction makes possible very high ion velocity. Fusion takes place mainly between neutral particles. This approach can be applied to fusion with neutrons as well. Conventional fusion schemes and neutron sources can be realized using the principles described above in the generation of neutrals of high energies and densities. | 08-04-2011 |

20080233744 | CARBON NANOTUBE SWITCHES FOR MEMORY, RF COMMUNICATIONS AND SENSING APPLICATIONS, AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME - Switches having an in situ grown carbon nanotube as an element thereof, and methods of fabricating such switches. A carbon nanotube is grown in situ in mechanical connection with a conductive substrate, such as a heavily doped silicon wafer or an SOI wafer.

At another location of the carbon nanotube there is situated a pull electrode that can be used to electrostatically displace the carbon nanotube so that it selectively makes contact with either the pull electrode or with a contact electrode. Connection to the pull electrode is sufficient to operate the device as a simple switch, while connection to a contact electrode is useful to operate the device in a manner analogous to a relay. In various embodiments, the devices disclosed are useful as at least switches for various signals, multi-state memory, computational devices, and multiplexers. | 09-25-2008 |

20110136304 | Techniques to Enhance Selectivity of Electrical Breakdown of Carbon Nanotubes - Techniques are used to fabricate carbon nanotube devices. These techniques improve the selective removal of undesirable nanotubes such as metallic carbon nanotubes while leaving desirable nanotubes such as semiconducting carbon nanotubes. In a first technique, slot patterning is used to slice or break carbon nanotubes have a greater length than desired. By altering the width and spacing of the slotting, nanotubes have a certain length or greater can be removed. Once the lengths of nanotubes are confined to a certain or expected range, the electrical breakdown approach of removing nanotubes is more effective. In a second technique, a Schottky barrier is created at one electrode (e.g., drain or source). This Schottky barrier helps prevent the inadvertent removal the desirable nanotubes when using the electrical breakdown approach. The first and second techniques can be used individually or in combination with each other. | 06-09-2011 |
