Title: Article comprising enhanced nanotube emitter structure and process for fabricating article
Inventor: KOCHANSKI GREGORY PETER
IPC: H01J9/02
Filed: 2000-01-07
Abstract: An improved process for fabricating nanotube field emitter structures is provided, in which the nanotubes protrude from a supporting base material to improve emission properties. The resulting emitter structure are useful in a variety of devices, including microwave vacuum tube devices and flat-panel, field-emission displays.      To attain the protruding nanotube emitter structure, according to one embodiment of the invention, nanotubes and metal particles are mixed and consolidated into a compact, and the compact is then sectioned to expose a substantial number of nanotube ends. A layer of the metal is selectively etched from the sectioned surface, leaving the exposed nanotubes protruding from the surface. The extent of protrusion is at least twice the average diameter of the nanotubes, advantageously at least ten times the average diameter of the nanotubes.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une brosse comprenant une tête (36) dotée d'une pluralité de poils (40), un orifice de sortie (42) situé dans la tête (36) qui alimente les poils (40), un récipient (12) à pâte relié à la tête (36), un moyen d'actionnement (18) qui fournit la pâte du récipient (12) vers la tête (36) et une soupape de régulation (30) en matière plastique souple, comprenant une partie diaphragme (32) et une partie saillante (34). Cette soupape de régulation est placée dans la tête (36) et son axe central est sensiblement perpendiculaire à la direction d'écoulement de la pâte vers la tête (36). La soupape de régulation (30) présente une position de repos normale dans laquelle la partie saillante (34) s'engage, de façon à fermer hermétiquement l'orifice de sortie (42). Le côté de la partie diaphragme (32) situé à distance de la partie saillante (34) est ouvert à l'atmosphère. L'agencement est tel que lorsque le moyen d'actionnement (18) fonctionne, la pâte est amenée sous pression, du récipient (12) vers la tête (36), de façon à déformer la partie diaphragme (32) ce qui provoque le retrait de la partie saillante (34) de l'orifice de sortie (42). La pâte est alors distribuée à travers l'orifice de sortie (42) et au cours d'un relâchement ultérieur de la pression de la pâte, la soupape de régulation (30) revient à sa position de repos.

Title: Spectrometre de mobilite ionique a piegeage d'echantillons pour detecteur ambulatoire de molecules
Inventor: HALEY LAWRENCE V
IPC: G01N27/62
Filed: 1998-10-20
Abstract: L'invention concerne un spectromètre de mobilité ionique (IMS) (100) "froid" qui fonctionne délibérément à une température suffisamment basse pour que des vapeurs échantillonnées se condensent, c'est-à-dire soient piégées, dans le dispositif IMS (100) après leur introduction avec une garniture de condensation (117) dans une région de réaction (102) du dispositif IMS (100). Le piégeage délibéré des vapeurs dans le dispositif IMS (100) enlève de manière active l'échantillon du procédé d'ionisation parce qu'après la condensation, la pression de la vapeur du composé à la température de fonctionnement du dispositif IMS (100) est négligeable. Etant donné que le composé n'est plus présent sous forme de vapeur, la production ionique n'est plus effectuée à une vitesse suffisante pour être détectée.

Patent CA-2312560-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DUVE JEFF
IPC: H05B37/02
Filed: 2000-06-27
Abstract: Disclosed is a manual override employing two resistor and capacitor time delay circuits ("R/C circuit") which are in communication with a microprocessor. In the absence of regular A/C power, the first R/C circuit is adapted to provide a signal for a predetermined time T1, and the second R/C circuit is adapted to provide a signal for a predetermined time T2. Since T2 is longer in duration than T1, it is possible for an end-user to deactivate the light via a wall switch for a period of time X, which is of a duration between T1 and T2. The microprocessor, in turn, is programmed to sense that an override function is to be employed when this condition is sensed and, consequently, the PIR is disabled and the light functions in a dusk-to-dawn mode.

Title: Fiber reinforced composite spar for rotary wing aircraft and method and apparatus for the manufacture thereof
Inventor: KOVALSKY DAVID A
IPC: B29C70/34
Filed: 1998-12-09
Abstract: A fiber reinforced composite spar (10) for a helicopter rotor blade including upper and lower sidewall regions (40, 42) and forward and aft conic regions (45, 47). The composite spar is manufactured via a vacuum forming technique which may include assembling the composite laminates in complementary molds or forming the composite laminates directly over an inflatable mandrel assembly (110). A spar forming apparatus (200) includes first and second pedestal supports (204) being suitably configured so as to facilitate formation of the butt joints in the conic regions of the composite spar. The pedestal supports (204) are movable from a first orientation to facilitate lay-up of composite laminates over the mandrel assembly, to a second orientation to facilitate transfer of the mandrel assembly from one to the other of the pedestal supports. The spar forming apparatus further includes an electromagnetic coil system (232). The electrically activated coils are disposed in combination with each of the pedestal supports and a controllable power source selectively energizes the electrically activated coils to effect a magnetic clamping force between the mandrel assembly and one of the pedestal supports. Such electromagnetic coil system accurately positions the inflatable mandrel assembly during lay-up of the composite laminates and effects transfer of the mandrel assembly.
