An apparatus for drying gloves is provided, including a main member, at least one light source, and at least one air source. The main member includes an outer surface configured for receiving a glove, and a plurality of apertures disposed along the outer surface. The light source emits a UV-C light, and the air source blows air. The UV-C light from the light source and air from the air source can at least partially pass through the outer surface. The apertures are in communication with at least the air source.

The present invention is directed toward methods of attaching or grafting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to silicon or other surfaces, wherein such attaching or grafting occurs via functional groups on either or both of the CNTs and silicon surface. The present invention is also directed to the novel compositions produced by such methods. Previous work by Applicants has demonstrated covalent attachment of arenes via aryldiazonium salts to Si (hydride passivated single crystal or poly Si; or , p-doped, n-doped or intrinsic), GaAs, and Pd surfaces. In the case of Si, this provides a direct arene-Si bond with no intervening oxide. Applicants have also reported on the use of aryldiazonium salts for the direct covalent linkage of arenes to single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) where the nanotubes can exist either as bundles or individual structures (when surfactant-wrapped). In some embodiments, the present invention is directed to a merger of these two technologies to afford the covalent attachment of individualized (unroped) SWNTs to Si surfaces.

A method for displaying images includes adjusting at least one characteristic of an image from a first imaging device of an endoscope to match at least one corresponding characteristic of an image from a second imaging device of the endoscope. The at least one characteristic may be one or more of color, contrast and brightness. An endoscopic system includes an endoscope including a first imaging device and a second imaging device, and a display device that displays an image from the first imaging device of the endoscope and an image from the second imaging device of the endoscope, wherein the images are sized so that an object, when placed at the same distance from the imaging devices, appears to have about the same size in the images.

A connector assembly is provided that includes an upper element and a lower element in contact with the upper element along a contour-matched interface. The first element and the second element are dielectric and each comprise a recess and a groove, the recesses cooperatively forming a cavity and the grooves cooperatively forming a channel communicating the cavity to exterior surfaces of the upper element and the lower element. A conductive plug is disposed within the cavity and is adapted for engaging a lead wire and a terminal pad. Preferably, the connector assembly further includes a clamping device for securing the connector assembly to a substrate and a spring element disposed within the cavity, wherein the conductive plug is disposed between the terminal pad and the spring such that the spring biases the conductive plug against the terminal pad.

An unmanned aerial vehicle assembly includes an unmanned aerial vehicle including a plurality of propulsion units thereby facilitating the unmanned aerial vehicle to fly. A plurality of cameras is each coupled to the unmanned aerial vehicle to capture imagery of the area surrounding the unmanned aerial vehicle. A microphone is coupled to the unmanned aerial vehicle to capture audible sounds in the area surrounding the unmanned aerial vehicle. A transceiver is integrated into the unmanned aerial vehicle and the transceiver is in communication with an extrinsic communication network. In this way the transceiver can receive flight control commands from a personal electronic device that is in communication with the extrinsic communication network thereby facilitating an authorized user to remotely control the unmanned aerial vehicle. A user interface is integrated into the unmanned aerial vehicle to capture a signature from a person. The user interface is in electrical communication with the transceiver thereby facilitating the signature to be communicated to the authorized user.
