  • Echogenic coatings with overcoat
    Publication number: 20070255140
    Abstract: An ultrasonically visible solid device for inserting into a non-gas target medium comprises an echogenic surface having structures entrapping gas when the device is in the target medium, the entrapped gas causing the device to be ultrasonically visible, wherein the gas-entrapping structures are covered with a flexible overcoat that does not significantly reduce the compressibility of the gas trapped in the structures.

  • Halloysite microtubule processes, structures, and compositions
    Publication number: 20060163160
    Abstract: A processes for the separation and purification of microtubules of halloysite clay by separating an inlet stream of a liquid slurry of suspended clay particles flowing into a cross-flow filter into a decantate stream and a filtrate stream, the filtrate stream having a higher concentration of microtubular particles than the inlet stream. Also disclosed are subsequent preparations of novel structures and compositions of matter that include microtubules of halloysite clay.

  • Hydrogen storage apparatus
    Publication number: 20060076354
    Abstract: Disclosed is hydrogen storage processes and assemblies using metallized halloysite or metalized lipids. The addition of metals or metal salts increases the hydrogen storage ability of the halloysite or lipids relative to their non-metallized state.
