20150198502 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AUTOMATED BRIDGE STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING - In-situ methods and systems for determining bridge load ratings under ambient traffic are provided. These may include, for example, by installing one or more strain gauges on one or more bridge girders a batch of strain readings may be acquired from the one or more strain gauges. From the batch of strain readings, one or more strain time histories may be randomly sampled based, for example, on a girder peak strain. One or more vehicles may be randomly selected based on the one or more stored vehicle parameters by accessing a database with one or more stored vehicles and stored vehicle parameters. A bridge load rating model may be calibrated based on the one or more randomly sampled strain time histories and the randomly selected one or more vehicles for acquiring, in one embodiment, a bridge load rating distribution. | 07-16-2015 |

20130323583 | PROCESSES FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF CONDUCTIVE PARTICLE FILMS FOR LITHIUM ION BATTERIES - The invention is directed to a process for forming a particle film on a substrate. Preferably, a series of corona guns, staggered to optimize film thickness uniformity, are oriented on both sides of a slowly translating grounded substrate (copper or aluminum for the anode or cathode, respectively). The substrate is preferably slightly heated to induce binder flow, and passed through a set of hot rollers that further induce melting and improve film uniformity. The sheeting is collected on a roll or can be combined in-situ and rolled into a single-cell battery. The invention is also directed to products formed by the processes of the invention and, in particular, batteries. | 12-05-2013 |

20090220702 | METHOD FOR PREPARING METAL OXIDE CRYSTALLINE NANOPARTICLE FILMS FOR DYE SENSITIZED SOLAR CELL PHOTOANODES - A method for manufacturing a dye sensitized nanocrystal film having the steps of exposing a tin oxide layer on a surface of a substrate to a flame for a time sufficient to form a layer of mesoporous, crystalline titanium oxide on the fluorinated tin oxide layer followed by sintering the substrate at a temperature of from about 300 to about 500° C. The flame contains a fuel gas, such as ethylene and oxygen and titanium organometallic. The concentration of titanium organometallic is from about 10 to about 2000 ppm. During the flame exposure step, the substrate is rotated about a central axis at a speed of from about 100 to about 600 RPM, and the flame is kept at a constant distance from the surface of the substrate. The temperature of the substrate is maintained at a temperature of less than 200° C. via the rotation and jets of gas. | 09-03-2009 |
