| 20080277631 | Electrically Conductive Metal Impregnated Elastomer Materials and Methods of Forming Electrically Conductive Metal Impregnated Elastomer Materials - An electrically conductive, compliant elastomer material that is impregnated with a metal is formed by combining a metal salt with an elastomer precursor material to form a metal salt/precursor mixture, curing the metal salt/precursor mixture to form an elastomer impregnated with metal salt, and treating the elastomer impregnated with metal salt with a chemical reducing composition so as to convert at least a portion of the metal salt impregnated within the elastomer to a metal. The elastomer can be subjected to a suitable solvent that swells the elastomer during the chemical reduction of the metal salt to metal, which enhances the mechanical and electrical properties of the resultant metal impregnated elastomer material. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20110096966 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING BONE VARIABILITY WITH ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT - A method and apparatus for assessing the time since demise of one or more tissue components, comprising a source of radiation to generate excitatory radiation toward a tissue component, the tissue component generating responsive radiation in response to the excitatory radiation, a sensor to receive the responsive radiation from the tissue component and create a signal indicating the rate of change (over time) of the responsive radiation, a processor connected to the sensor to receive the signal from the sensor, and wherein the processor evaluates the received signal and provides information whereby a user can assess the time since demise of the tissue component based on responsive radiation generated by the tissue component as a result of excitation of at least one intrinsic tissue component metabolic product. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20110192984 | METHOD AND EQUIPMENT FOR PRODUCING DRIFT DETECTORS - Silicon drift detectors are produced for location and energy measurement as well as spectroscopic applications by depositing a single high quality dielectric film followed by deposition of at least one low quality dielectric film. | 08-11-2011 |
| 20120092105 | FLEXIBLE METHODS OF FABRICATING ELECTROMAGNETS AND RESULTING ELECTROMAGNET ELEMENTS - An electromagnetic structure is fabricated by additive manufacturing having at least one channel traversing the structure. In one embodiment, at least one form contains apertures and/or holes forming the channel and a liquid metal traverses the structure by the channel. Electrodes are provided to apply or extract electrical voltage or power to and/or from the liquid metal as well as a mechanism for propelling a portion of the liquid metal through the form. In an alternative embodiment, both the electrically insulating and the electrically conductive materials are solid and the channel is used for conducting a coolant instead of the liquid metal. | 04-19-2012 |
