    摘要: The present invention, in one embodiment, provides a method of measuring pressure or temperature using a sensor including a sensor element composed of a plurality of carbon nanotubes. In one example, the resistance of the plurality of carbon nanotubes is measured in response to the application of temperature or pressure. The changes in resistance are then recorded and correlated to temperature or pressure. In one embodiment, the present invention provides for independent measurement of pressure or temperature using the sensors disclosed herein.

    摘要: An external covering and method of making an external covering for hiding the internal endoskeleton of a mechanical (e.g., prosthetic) device that exhibits skin-like qualities is provided. The external covering generally comprises an internal bulk layer in contact with the endoskeleton of the prosthetic device and an external skin layer disposed about the internal bulk layer. The external skin layer is comprised of a polymer composite with carbon nanotubes embedded therein. The outer surface of the skin layer has multiple cone-shaped projections that provide the external skin layer with superhydrophobicity. The carbon nanotubes are preferably vertically aligned between the inner surface and outer surface of the external skin layer in order to provide the skin layer with the ability to transmit heat. Superhydrophobic powders may optionally be used as part of the polymer composite or applied as a coating to the surface of the skin layer to enhance superhydrophobicity.

    摘要: An integrated multifunctional environmental characterization system (IMECS) is provided. The IMECS may comprises a memory, one or more interfaces and a processor. The processor may be configured to predict an environment condition adjacent to a thin film using one or more machine learned models from one or more measured properties of the thin film received via the one or more interfaces; and/or predict values for one or more properties of the thin film using the one or more machine learned models from an environmental condition received via one of the one or more interfaces; and display the predicted environment condition and/or the predicted one or more properties. The processor may also adjust the acquisition parameters used to acquire values of one or more properties of the thin film from received acquisition parameters via a user interface based on measured values for the same properties.
