Abstract:
In the method for scrubbing a chemical from a medium, wherein the improvement comprises the steps of using a carbide derived carbon to adsorb the chemical which may later be released by heating. The carbide derived carbon may be a powder, a fiber, a solid foam, a mesh, or other solid form. The carbide derived carbon can adsorb a chemical in the gaseous, liquid, particulate, or aerosol phase.
Abstract:
The system and method for destroying compromised objects, including electronic devices. The system and method utilizes a barrier separating two reagents that can be rapidly mixed to form a base when desired. The system and method have a barrier configured to be triggered remotely. The barrier comprises an aluminum foil layer.
Abstract:
In the method of latent print analysis, wherein the improvement comprises using an ultra-fine, nanoporous carbon material as an adsorptive powder to identify trace chemicals found within oils of a print.
Abstract:
A photon-activated quantum dot capacitor and method of fabrication. A photon-activated quantum dot capacitor photodetector having a read only integrated circuit; and a photon-activated quantum dot capacitor chip hybridized with the read only integrated circuit, wherein said photon-activated quantum dot capacitor chip comprises colloidal quantum dots that detect photons as a change in a dielectric constant of the colloidal quantum dots of the photon-activated quantum dot capacitor chip, including the further implementation of a photodetector.
Abstract:
A method for optical analysis of otherwise invisible latent prints on a wide variety of surfaces and trace chemicals contained within the oils of a print. The invention provides the capability to monitor absorption/reflection infrared bands that are unique to print oils and chemicals of interest that have long or short wave infrared signatures, such as explosives, inorganic oxidizers, drugs, environmental markers, and biomarkers.
