Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110086415Electrospun Fiber Pre-Concentrator - The present disclosure relates, in some embodiments, to pre-concentrator compositions, devices, systems, and/or methods for concentrating small quantities of chemical or biological compounds, e.g., CBRNE compounds. A pre-concentrator of the disclosure may be operable to releasably bind and concentrate CBRNE compounds. In some embodiments, a pre-concentrator may comprise a 3-D structure of electrospun nanofibers, that comprise at least one polymer, one conducting agent and at least one chemical-specific functional group and/or biological-specific moiety configured to selectively bind to a CBRNE compound. Bound compounds may be released and detected. Pre-concentrator devices and systems operable to bind, concentrate, and/or detect one or more CBRNE compounds are described. Devices and systems of the disclosure may be configured to concentrate and detect multiple compounds. Methods for synthesizing pre-concentrators as well as methods for concentrating, detecting and identifying compounds of interest are also set forth.04-14-2011

20100079217Multilayer metamaterial isolator - A multilayer metamaterial isolator and method of fabricating the same. A first layer or surface of a multilayer dielectric substrate includes a first leg of a first resonator loop. A second layer or surface of the multilayer dielectric substrate includes a second leg of the first resonator loop. A third leg of the first resonator loop extends through the multilayer dielectric substrate interconnecting the first and second legs of the first resonator loop.04-01-2010
20100263199Multilayer metamaterial isolator - A method of fabricating an array of radiating elements includes on one layer or surface of a dielectric substrate, forming a first leg of a first resonator loop, on another layer or surface of the dielectric substrate forming a second leg of the first resonator loop between adjacent radiating elements, forming a via through the dielectric substrate, and metallizing the via forming a third leg of the first resonator loop interconnecting the first and second legs.10-21-2010

20100058945IN-SITU AND EX-SITU ELECTROPHORESIS-BASED FORMATION OF ALIGNED NANOSTRUCTURE TRIGGERS FOR SOLID EXPLOSIVES - An electrophoresis process is used to form a more efficient and controllable triggering mechanism for solid explosives ignited through the application of electromagnetic energy. Electrophoresis is used to overcome the Van der Waals forces that hold the nanostructures together to disperse and align the nanostructures to the field lines of an applied electric field in-situ in the explosive or ex-situ in a pre-preg layer (or layers) that is then introduced to the explosive. The in-situ process requires fewer steps but is more constrained in the trigger structures that can be formed and care must be taken not to detonate the explosive during the electrophoresis process. The ex-situ process requires additional steps but provides greater flexibility to create trigger structures and the electrophoresis process is performed on a lower viscosity non-explosive material.03-11-2010
20110162515Layering Non-Metallic Layers Between Metallic Layers to Improve Armor Protection - According to one embodiment, an armor system comprises a plurality of metallic layers. The armor system further comprises a plurality of non-metallic layers located in between two or more metallic layers of the plurality of metallic layers, such that each non-metallic layer is located at a respective depth in the plurality of metallic layers.07-07-2011
20110162516Method of Layering Composite Sheets to Improve Armor Capabilities - According to one embodiment, an armor system comprises a plurality of polylithic composite armor panels. Each of the polylithic composite armor panels comprising a plurality of layers. The plurality of layers comprise at least two layers having a different Young's modulus. Each of the plurality of layers comprising a plurality of sheets. The plurality of sheets comprise one or more fibers. The plurality of sheets have one or more respective weave characteristics.07-07-2011

20080279754Induced electrical property changes in single walled carbon nanotubes by electromagnetic radiation - In the apparatus and process of the present invention, it is possible to fabricate CNTs with specific diameters and morphologies. The morphology selection can yield samples of pre-selected diameter configurations making it possible to take a sample of SWNTs produced by any synthesis technique and induce a morphology change that causes the sample to be either all conductive, all narrow band gap semiconductive or wide band gap semiconductive, within a given nanotube rope.11-13-2008
