| 20090243102 | METHOD OF ALIGNING DEPOSITED NANOTUBES ONTO AN ETCHED FEATURE USING A SPACER - A method of forming an aligned connection between a nanotube layer and a raised feature is disclosed. A substrate having a raised feature has spacers formed next to the side of the raised feature. The spacers are etched until the sidewalls of the raised feature are exposed forming a notched feature at the top of the spacers. A patterned nanotube layer is formed such that the nanotube layer overlies the top of the spacer and contacts a side portion of the raised feature in the notched feature. The nanotube layer is then covered with an insulating layer. Then a top portion of the insulating layer is removed to expose a top portion of the etched feature. | 10-01-2009 |

| 20120001351 | LOW PRESSURE GAS TRANSFER DEVICE - Certain embodiments of the present technology present a low pressure gas transfer device for transferring gas into a liquid stream.

The primary outlet port delivers a dispersion stream that is a mixture of gas-injected liquid passing through the primary pipe branch and the secondary liquid stream passing through the secondary pipe branch. | 01-05-2012 |
| 20120003707 | Method for Injecting a Feed Gas Stream into a Vertically Extended Column of Liquid - A process for conversion of syngas to liquid products that serve as surface acting agents uses the gas stream at a relatively low pressure to eliminate the use of a compressor. The process uses a liquid stream as the primary energy input to a gas injector that intensely mixes gas and the liquid with reduced compression costs while the presence of the liquid product maintains the gas-liquid dispersion as it flows downward to build a static pressure head. The process lowers the required gas pressure by adjusting the elevation of the gas injector such that a conduit receives the gas-liquid dispersion from the outlet of the injector and confines it as it travels downward to enter the bottom of a column of liquid. The liquid product provides a surface acting agent that prolongs the creation and duration of microbubbles in the gas-liquid dispersion. | 01-05-2012 |
