Patent CA-2551643-A1 (CA)
Title: Metal-containing nanolayered composites, and applications thereof
Inventor: HUANG JIA
IPC: C08L89/00
Filed: 2004-12-23
Abstract: Disclosed are peptide-metal composite materials that comprise small linear polypeptides at least some of which feature rare-earth metals coordinated to acids or bases in their side chains. The resulting composites crystallize in smectic-like arrays over length scales much longer than those of the molecular dimensions. The resulting crystals (1-2 mg) were insulating and transparent in the visible spectrum. The rare earths form quasi-two dimensional sheets with a separation distance determined by the linear dimension of the oligopeptide.  The magnetization, M(B,T), was determined down to 2 K and in fields to 5.5 T  using SQUID magnetometry. All samples were paramagnetic. Crystalline electric field modification of the magnetization was evident in isothermal M(B) for dysprosium (Dy)-based composites.

Title: Directionally controllable night light
Inventor: THOMPSON MITCHELL
IPC: H05B37/00
Filed: 2006-11-10
Abstract: A night light comprising a housing with a rotatable bezel mounted thereon. The housing includes a rear wall with electric blades extending outwardly therefrom for engaging in an electrical wall outlet. The bezel is rotatable about a first pivot axis. A LED array is mounted in the bezel and the array is rotatable about a second pivot axis. The second pivot axis is oriented on a different plane to the first pivot axis and preferably lies at ninety degree thereto. When the bezel is rotated about the first pivot axis, the direction of the light emitted from the LED array is changed. Because the bezel can rotate through 360.degree., the LED array can be rotated through 360.degree. about the first pivot axis. The LED array can be pivoted through an arc of between 160.degree. and 175.degree. about the second pivot axis. The combination of being able t o rotationally adjust the position of the bezel on the housing and to adjust t he position of the LED array within the bezel allows the individual to control the direction of the light emitted from the night light.
