Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions comprising rigid-rod polymers and carbon nanotubes. The compositions comprise dispersed carbon nanotubes aligned with rigid-rod polymers. The alignment of the nanotubes and polymers can be liquid crystalline. The rigid-rod polymers of this invention include, but are not limited to, polymers and copolymers comprising benzobisazole, pyridobisimidazole and benzamidazobenzo-phenanthroline repeat units. Dispersion of carbon nanotubes is achieved by in-situ polymerization in the presence of the carbon nanotubes, which may be either single-wall or multi-wall or a combination of both. The polymer compositions comprising carbon nanotubes may be spun into fibers or formed into films. The strength of the resulting fibers of the present invention is significantly greater than that of fibers without carbon nanotubes.

Abstract: A low-cost user portable signal enhancer unit for extending service coverage of wireless communications to a user in a desired area of limited coverage. The enhancement supports an increase of signal power levels to allow wireless communication usage in a location, such as a small office or home office environment where the original cellular signals are weak or unreliable. A base station signal is enhanced by a bi-directional amplifier device (BDA), which receives a base station signal, amplifies the signal power and retransmits the amplified signal in a first signal path to a user in close proximity. The bi-directional amplifier also receives a user signal, amplifies the signal power and retransmits the amplified signal to the base station in a second separate signal path. Dual polarized antennas can receive and transmit the respective signals at opposite polarizations to increase isolation of the signals.

Lesdites structures linéaires sont construites sur une couche cristalline d'une première composition pouvant être gravée. Les premier et second nanofils d'une seconde composition, alignés automatiquement, sont développés sur la couche et utilisés comme masques pour graver ladite couche. Ils sont fabriqués à partir d'un matériau présentant un décalage de réseau asymétrique par rapport à la couche cristalline. L'écartement est suffisamment petit pour permettre à l'une des structures de se comporter comme la grille d'un transistor et à l'autre de former la source et le drain dudit transistor. L'écartement peut être rempli de matériaux électriquement commutables, ce qui permet de transformer le transistor en une cellule de mémoire.
