Abstract: A hydrogen storage structure includes a plurality of graphene sheets arranged to form a stack with a plurality of spacers between adjacent graphene sheets in the stack. In one embodiment, the spacers are arranged to provide a distance ranging between 5 ? and 20 ? between adjacent graphene sheets. In one embodiment, the spacers are formed as graphene spheres having a diameter that ranges from 5 ? to 15 ?. In another embodiment, the spacers are formed as graphene single-walled nanontubes having a length that ranges from 5 ? to 20 ?. In a further embodiment, the spacers are formed as graphene sheets having a thickness that ranges from 5 ? to 20 ?. In one embodiment, the plurality of graphene sheets is doped with lithium. In one embodiment, the lithium doping concentration is a ratio of one lithium atom per three carbon atoms.

Abstract: A single electrode electrochemical/electrospray ionization source using a corona discharge and a method of analyzing a sample using a corona discharge single electrode electrochemical/electrospray ionization source are provided. In the corona discharge single electrode electrochemical/electrospray ionization technique electrons are removed from the metal tip of the device through gases present in the electrospray ion source resulting in electrochemical ionization of the sample of interest. The resulting odd electron sample cation (positive ion mode) or anion (negative ion mode) can then be analyzed by an appropriate technique, such as, for example, a mass spectrometer.

Abstract: A MEMS chip sensor (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70) based upon detection of an induced inductance in the sensor is described. The sensor is used in an environment for detection of fluid pressures. The method and system is particularly used in animals, including humans, to sense pressure changes, particularly pressure in the eyeball.

Abstract: A closed loop feedback control for enhancing the response of electrorheological fluid having a light source and a photodetector measuring the light transmission through the electrorheological fluid. A manually controllable signal generator generates a reference signal indicative of the desired transmission through the electrorheological fluid. A control amplifier responsive to the difference between the measured transmission and the reference signal changes the value of the electric field being applied across the electrorheological. The change in the electric field selected to significantly reduce the time required for the electrorheological fluid to change from its current state to the desired state.

Abstract: There is disclosed a packaging comprising a pocket made of sheet material, the pocket defining an enclosure for holding merchandise and having at least one sealed edge. One or more detachable compartments are formed by extensions of the sheet material beyond the at least one sealed edge. A seal along at least one edge of the extensions closes the compartment. A promotional message is carried by the detachable compartment, and a perforation line extends parallel to the at least one sealed edge of the pocket on each compartment side thereof to make the compartment detachable from the pocket by a consumer. The extensions are folded back towards the sealed edge to form at least one sheet of the sheet material enclosed by the compartment. The pocket remains functional when the compartment is detached.
