Electron/Hole Transport-Based Nems Gyro And Devices Using The Same

View page
US Patent:
20080257041, Oct 23, 2008
Filed:
Apr 17, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/736409
Inventors:
Panos Datskos - Knoxville TN, US
International Classification:
G01P 15/14
US Classification:
7350402
Abstract:
A nanomechanical (NEMS) gyroscope includes an integrated circuit substrate, a pair of spaced apart contact pads disposed on the substrate, and a movable nanoscale element forming at least a portion of a first electrically conductive path electrically coupling the contact pads. The movable element experiences movement comprising rotation, changes in rotation, or oscillation upon the gyroscope experiencing angular velocity or angular acceleration. Movement of the gyro introduces geometrically induced phase changes which results in phase and/or frequency changes in ac current flowing through the movable element. An inertial measurement unit (IMU) can include an integrated circuit substrate having a three axis gyroscope formed on the substrate and a three axis accelerometer, which is preferably formed on the same substrate.

Superhydrophobic Coated Micro-Porous Carbon Foam Membrane And Method For Solar-Thermal Driven Desalination

US Patent:
20200101420, Apr 2, 2020
Filed:
Sep 26, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/583593
Inventors:
- Oak Ridge TN, US
James William Klett - Knoxville TN, US
Panos G. Datskos - Golden CO, US
Joanna McFarlane - Oak Ridge TN, US
Michael Hu - Oak Ridge TN, US
International Classification:
B01D 61/36
B01D 71/02
B01D 69/02
B01D 5/00
C02F 1/44
C02F 1/14
Abstract:
A solar membrane distillation apparatus includes a housing comprising a light transmitting wall. A solar distillation membrane is positioned in the housing to receive solar radiation transmitted through the light transmitting wall. The solar distillation membrane includes a porous graphitic foam and a coating of a hydrophobic composition on the surface and pores of the graphitic foam. A water chamber within the housing is provided for retaining water adjacent to the solar distillation membrane. A vapor chamber is provided for collecting water vapor distilling through the solar distillation membrane. A condenser is provided for condensing distilled water vapor from the vapor chamber into liquid water. A separation membrane and a method of solar distillation are also disclosed.

Method Of Synthesizing Silica Nanofibers Using Sound Waves

View page
US Patent:
20170022635, Jan 26, 2017
Filed:
Oct 10, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/289565
Inventors:
- Oak Ridge TN, US
Panos G. Datskos - Knoxville TN, US
International Classification:
D01F 9/10
B01J 19/10
C01B 33/12
Abstract:
A method for synthesizing silica nanofibers using sound waves is provided. The method includes providing a solution of polyvinyl pyrrolidone, adding sodium citrate and ammonium hydroxide to form a first mixture, adding a silica-based compound to the solution to form a second mixture, and sonicating the second mixture to synthesize a plurality of silica nanofibers having an average cross-sectional diameter of less than 70 nm and having a length on the order of at least several hundred microns. The method can be performed without heating or electrospinning, and instead includes less energy intensive strategies that can be scaled up to an industrial scale. The resulting nanofibers can achieve a decreased mean diameter over conventional fibers. The decreased diameter generally increases the tensile strength of the silica nanofibers, as defects and contaminations decrease with the decreasing diameter.
