| 20090133731 | CRISS-CROSSED AND COALIGNED CARBON NANOTUBE-BASED FILMS - Devices including nano-junctions made between aligned functionalized carbon nanotubes, and methods of aligning functionalized carbon nanotubes for the purpose of fabricating either coaligned or criss-crossed p-n junctions. Devices, such as thermoelectric devices, may be formed of a plurality of n-type carbon nanotubes forming a film and/or a plurality of p-type carbon nanotubes forming a film. Methods of making a criss-crossed p-n nanojunction device include the steps of functionalizing a carbon nanotube to create a p-type tube, functionalizing a carbon nanotube to create an n-type tube, applying an RF field to align nanotubes of a given p- or n-type, and orienting nanotubes of different types cross-wise relative to each other to achieve criss-crossed p-n nanojunctions. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20100067918 | ULTRA-MINIATURIZED THZ COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND SYSTEM - Ultra-miniaturized THz spectrometer/multi-channel receiver devices are provided. THz communication devices employ a THz transmitter, a THz receiver and a modulator, wherein the THz transmitter is configured to introduce a THz signal to the modulator and the THz receiver is configured to receive the THz signal from the modulator and demodulate the signal. Communication systems and methods employing the THz spectrometer/multi-channel receiver devices enable secure communications. Portable THz emitter devices are provided employing semiconductor lasers and a nonlinear birefringent waveguide monolithically integrated on the same substrate. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20100108988 | Nanotube-Based Structure and Method of Forming the Structure - Nanotube-based structure and method of forming the same are disclosed. A structure having two tips is provided for defining a location for forming a nanotube connection. The nanotube connection, which can be coated with an electrically conductive polymer for enhanced conductivity, can be used in forming nanotube-based devices for various applications. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100127312 | GRAPHENE DEPOSITION AND GRAPHENATED SUBSTRATES - Methods, devices, systems and/or articles related to techniques for forming a graphene film on a substrate, and the resulting graphene layers and graphenated substrates are generally disclosed. Some example techniques may be embodied as methods or processes for forming graphene. Some other example techniques may be embodied as devices employed to manipulate, treat, or otherwise process substrates, graphite, graphene and/or graphenated substrates as described herein. Graphene layers and graphenated substrates produced by the various techniques and devices provided herein are also disclosed. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20100315648 | NON-PERIODIC WAVEFRONT DIVIDING INTERFEROMETER - A non-periodic reflection beamsplitter or reflector for use in an interferometer. The interferometer employs non-periodic reflectors or a non-periodic beamsplitter in order to produce interference patterns to analyze. The non-periodic reflectors or beamsplitters may be concentrically arranged reflectors having equal area. The beamsplitter consists of two adjacent non-periodic structures having complementary reflection and transmission patterns. | 12-16-2010 |
