| 20090165438 | Pulse detonation engine - The invention provides a liquid fueled pulse detonation air breathing engine. The invention also provides an embodiment of an engine which has an axial flow compressor final stage configured for momentary closure of air flow at the final stage of the compressor followed by pulse detonation combustion that powers compressor, appliances, propeller, and produce thrust. Fuel enters the configured final stage of the axial flow air compressor to allow a mixture of air and fuel before entering the engine's pulse detonation combustion chamber, also referred to as detonation canister, having an inlet opening for receiving the fuel and air mixture charge and an open end down stream to discharge the resulting combustion products. Once the fuel and air mixture enters the detonation chamber there is closure for an instant of the compressor final stage's novel stators and blades before detonation of the fuel and air mixture. Detonation is initiated by a control system at the final compressor stage closure with ignition and impulse force is provided by a resultant shock wave. The front end of the engine allows control, and provides the use of appliances such as starter, alternator, fuel pumps, timing, and propellers if attached, as well as compressed air to the pulse detonation combustion chamber or canisters. Starting the engine is accomplished by an electrical starter motor as are conventional jet engines. Fuel is injected at the final stage of the compressor for good mixing with the compressed air before being pumped into the combustion chamber or canisters. Ignition and detonation occurs immediately downstream of the final compressor stage in the combustion chamber during the closure position of the compressor final stage. Ignition and detonation of the fuel many times a second generates shock waves that travels out of the open end of the combustion chamber or canisters at supersonic speed. | 07-02-2009 |

| 20100251759 | Liquid pressure cycle having an ejector - The liquid pressure cycle having an ejector pressurizes the liquid refrigerant of the system with a positive displacement rotary pump rather than pressurizing the vapor refrigerant with a vapor compressor. This high-pressure liquid proceeds into two pressure streams. The first stream is directed to an expansion valve then on to an evaporator for space air or other medium cooling. The second stream is directed to the driving force input port of an ejector. This high-pressure input mixes with the low-pressure output from the evaporator. The result of this mixing provides for sufficient pressure enhancement to condense the combination refrigerant vapor as it passes through the condenser. The liquid flow from the condenser proceeds back to the liquid pressure pump and the cycle is repeated. | 10-07-2010 |

| 20090093665 | COMPOSITION AND METHOD FOR THE SOLIDIFICATION OF TOXIC OR HAZARDOUS DRILLING AND AGRICULTURAL WASTE - A method of solidifying toxic or hazardous liquid waste, including the steps of pumping an aqueous waste, e.g., from a drilling fluid holding area; through a shearing device; adding the layered phyllosilicate to said aqueous waste in an amount sufficient to solidify the aqueous waste sufficiently such that the solidified aqueous waste has no free liquid; shearing the pumped aqueous waste, containing said layered phyllosilicate, sufficiently to partially exfoliate the layered phyllosilicate into phyllosilicate platelets and tactoids while in contact with the aqueous waste; pumping the sheared aqueous waste and layered phyllosilicate to a solidification area; and allowing the sheared aqueous waste and partially exfoliated layered phyllosilicate sufficient time to solidify such that there are no free liquids remaining in the solidified waste. | 04-09-2009 |

| 20090289029 | MOLD HAVING NANOMETRIC FEATURES, METHOD FOR REALIZING SUCH A MOLD AND CORRESPONDING USE OF IT IN A METHOD FOR REALIZING AN ARRAY OF CARBON NANOTUBES - A mold is for obtaining, on a substrate, an array of carbon nanotubes with a high control of their positioning. The mold includes a first layer of a first preset material having a surface having in relief at least one first plurality of projections having a free end portion with a substantially pointed profile. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20090321619 | OPTICALLY CONTROLLED ELECTRICAL-SWITCH DEVICE BASED UPON CARBON NANOTUBES AND ELECTRICAL-SWITCH SYSTEM USING THE SWITCH DEVICE - Described herein is an optically controlled electrical-switch device which includes a first current-conduction terminal and a second current-conduction terminal, and a carbon nanotube connected between the first and the second current-conduction terminals, the carbon nanotube being designed to be impinged upon by electromagnetic radiation and having an electrical conductivity that can be varied by varying the polarization of the electromagnetic radiation incident thereon. In particular, the carbon nanotube may for example, in given conditions of electrical biasing, present a high electrical conductivity when it is impinged upon by electromagnetic radiation having a given wavelength and a polarization substantially parallel to the axis of the carbon nanotube itself, and a reduced electrical conductivity when it is impinged upon by electromagnetic radiation having a given wavelength and a polarization substantially orthogonal to the axis of the carbon nanotube itself. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100127250 | METHOD FOR REALIZING A THIN FILM ORGANIC ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND CORRESPONDING DEVICE - A method realizes a thin film organic electronic device integrated on a substrate and includes an organic material layer and an organic thin film transistor or OTFT transistor. The method comprises: depositing the organic material layer on the substrate, the organic material layer being a conductive organic polymer; patterning by a soft-lithographic procedure the organic material layer to create a reduced portion in order to make a channel area of the OTFT transistor; masking the organic material layer by covering with a cover mask a source area and a drain area of the OTFT transistor; irradiating by ultraviolet radiation to deactivate exposed portions of the organic material layer defining the source area, the drain area and the channel area; depositing on the organic material layer a semiconductor layer; and creating on the semiconductor layer a gate area of the OTFT transistor. | 05-27-2010 |

| 20110006032 | SURFACE TREATMENT OF AN ORGANIC OR INORGANIC SUBSTRATE FOR ENHANCING STABILITY OF A LITHOGRAPHICALLY DEFINED DEPOSITED METAL LAYER - A method of metal deposition may include chemically modifying a surface of a substrate to make the surface hydrophobic. The method may further include depositing a layer of metal over the hydrophobic surface and masking at least a portion of the deposited metal layer to define a conductive metal structure. The method may also include using an etching agent to etch unmasked portions of the deposited metal layer. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20110027986 | LOW COST METHOD OF FABRICATION OF VERTICAL INTERCONNECTIONS COMBINED TO METAL TOP ELECTRODES - A method is for forming a vertical interconnection through a dielectric layer between upper and lower electrically conductive layers of an integrated circuit. The method includes forming an opening through the dielectric layer and placing a solidifiable electrically conductive filler into the opening via a printing technique. The solidifiable electrically conductive filler is solidified to thereby form a solidified electrically conducting filler in the opening. A metallization layer is formed over the dielectric layer and the solidified electrically conducting filler to thereby form the vertical interconnection through the dielectric layer between the upper and lower electrically conductive layers of the integrated circuit. | 02-03-2011 |
