A layered construction for application to a device or substrate or placement in an enclosed space for use in decontaminating the underlying surface or enclosed space comprises a cathode, an electrolyte layer, an anode and a protective surface layer. A compound that can be electrically decomposed to release on demand and over an extended period of time, an oxidant is included in the layered structure, preferably in the electrolyte layer. Preferred compounds are those which can release halogen ions which react with various different chemical or biological contaminants which may contact the protective layer, destroying, or devitalizing the contaminants.
摘要:
A microelectromechanical (MEM) fluid health sensing device comprises a viscosity sensor which provides an output that varies with the viscosity of a fluid in which it is immersed, and at least one other sensor which provides an output that varies with another predetermined parameter of the fluid. The viscosity sensor is preferably a MEM device fabricated by means of a “deep etch” process. The sensors are preferably integrated together on a common substrate, though they might also be fabricated separately and packaged together to form a hybrid device. A data processing means may be included which receives the sensor outputs and provides one or more outputs indicative of the health of the fluid. Sensor types which may be part of the present device include, for example, a temperature sensor, a MEM electrochemical sensor, a MEM accelerometer, a MEM contact switch lubricity sensor, and/or an inductive metallic wear sensor.

摘要:
An apparatus and method for ink jet printing on textiles is disclosed, wherein the steps of pre-treating, ink jet printing, and post-treating the textile takes place at the ink jet printer. A preferred method includes the steps of applying a pre-treat to the textile, evaporating excess water from the pre-treat, ink jet printing a pattern on the pre-treated textile, evaporating water from the ink in the pattern, applying a binder/post-treat to the pattern and curing the binder. The textile printing apparatus prints on an untreated textile by having a first application device to apply a pre-treat aqueous solution to the textile. A first heating element is arranged to evaporate most or all of the water from the pre-treated textile as it passes. An ink jet printer then accepts the pre-treated textile and prints the desired pattern on it. A second heating element at the output of the printer evaporates water from the ink in the pattern as the printed textile passes. A second application device applies a binder/post-treat to the printed textile after the ink evaporation. A third heating element dries and cures the binder/post-treat.

A method for protecting a surface of an article includes preparing or otherwise providing a reactive solution of a form of polyaniline and an acid, thereafter applying the reactive solution to the surface of the article to form an adherent conversion coating on the surface, thereafter oxidizing the adherent conversion coating to form an oxidized coating, and thereafter contacting a chromate-free, corrosion inhibiting organic compound such as a salt of a dithiocarbamate or a salt of a dimercaptothiadiazole to the oxidized coating to form a fixed conversion coating on the surface of the article. The resulting article has the fixed conversion coating adhered to the surface of the article. The fixed conversion coating has a mixture of a reduced polyaniline salt, and a fixed disulfur-linked dithiocarbamate polymer or dimer.
摘要:
Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture consistent with the present invention provide for determining the environmental resistance of a wire insulation. The broadband impedance of the wire is obtained before and after the wire is exposed to an environmental condition. The real and imaginary components of the dielectric functions are then extracted from the broadband impedances. A tangent of a ratio of the imaginary component to the real component of the dielectric function of the wire prior to exposure is compared to a tangent of a ratio of the imaginary component to the real component of the dielectric function of the wire after to exposure. The two tangents are then compared to determine the environmental resistant of the insulation.

A sensor, and method of using the sensor, for determining changes in the chemical or electrolytic properties of non-electrolyte, or weakly electrolytic fluids comprising an anode, cathode and reference electrode covered by a solid electrolyte film. Changes in these properties are indicative of degradation of the fluid or dissolution therein of conductive materials from the surfaces in contact with that fluid.
