摘要:
A modular structure includes a sill and a plurality of interlocking panels. The interlocking panels are attached to one another to form a panel assembly having a first end and a second end. The first end of the panel assembly is attached to a first side of the sill, and the second end of the panel assembly is attached to a second, opposing side of the sill.

In an embodiment, a method for manufacturing a thin layer chromatography (“TLC”) plate is disclosed. The method includes forming a layer of elongated nanostructures (e.g., carbon nanotubes), and at least partially coating the elongated nanostructures with a coating. The coating includes a stationary phase and/or precursor of a stationary phase for use in chromatography. The stationary phase may be functionalized with hydroxyl groups by exposure to acidified water vapor or immersion in a concentrated acid bath (e.g., HCl and methanol). At least a portion of the elongated nanostructures may be removed after being coated. Embodiments for TLC plates and related methods are also disclosed.
摘要:
A carbon nanotube assembly comprises a plurality of carbon nanotubes arranged into a patterned frame and extending from a base of the patterned frame to a face of the patterned frame, the patterned frame having a height of at least about 10 μm or greater. At least one passage extends through or is defined in the patterned frame, the at least one passage extending from the base of the patterned frame to the face of the patterned frame. An interstitial material at least partially fills interstices between at least some of the carbon nanotubes.

A camera tripod rotating head (20) is taught that is used for taking 360 degree photographic images with a camera (22) mounted on a tripod (24). The rotating head consists of an adapter base (26) that is configured to mate and attach to the camera tripod, and includes a one way roller clutch (30) mounted within the adapter base and a shoulder bolt (32) that is positioned through both the base and the clutch. A rotating beam (36) is attached to the adapter base with the shoulder bolt allowing the beam to revolve around the base a full 360 degrees in one direction only. Detents are position within the adapter base relative beam allowing the beam to be rotated and stopped at an equidistant predetermined location, preferably sixteen, until manually urged to the next location. An adjustable camera mounting bracket (60), configured to mate with the camera, is manually attached to the rotating beam permitting the rotating head, with a camera attached, to sweep in a one way arc of rotation stopping by the detents at each predetermined position.
摘要:
A submicrometer photodiode probe with a sub-50 nanometer tip radius is used for optical surface characterization on a nanometer scale. The nanoprobe detects subwavelength optical intensity variations in the near field of an illuminated surface. The probe comprises a metal-semiconductor Schottky diode that is constructed at the end of a micromachined tip of a semiconductor wafer. A process is disclosed for micromachining the tip of the semiconductor wafer and then of creating a photodiode at the tip, with the photodiode having an optical aperture of a size less than 1000 nanometers.

In an embodiment, a method for manufacturing a thin layer chromatography (“TLC”) plate is disclosed. The method includes forming a layer of elongated nanostructures (e.g., carbon nanotubes), priming the elongated nanostructures with one or more adhesion priming layers, and at least partially coating the elongated nanostructures with a coating. The coating includes a stationary phase and/or precursor of a stationary phase for use in chromatography. The stationary phase may be functionalized with hydroxyl groups by exposure to a base or acid. The stationary phase may further be treated with a silane (e.g., an amino silane) to improve the performance of the TLC plate. Embodiments for TLC plates and related methods are also disclosed.
