Publication number: 20140262972Abstract: A method of separating metallic semiconducting carbon nanotubes includes providing a source of a mixture of semiconducting and metallic carbon nanotubes in a carrier liquid with one of the semiconducting and metallic carbon nanotubes being functionalized to carry a charge. The mixture is pressurized to cause a liquid jet of the mixture to be emitted through a nozzle.

An electric field modulating device, positioned relative to the jet, produces first and second electric fields. A deflection device applies the first electric field as the first drop is formed to concentrate the functionalized carbon nanotubes in the first drop and applies the second electric field as the second drop is formed. The deflection device causes the first or second drop to begin traveling along another path.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2013Publication date: September 18, 2014Inventors: Shashishekar P.

Patent number: 8696094Abstract: An apparatus and method of ejecting liquid drops includes modulating a liquid jet to cause it to break off into drop clusters, including first and second drops traveling along a path, separated on average by a drop cluster period. An input image data independent charging waveform of a charging device includes a period that is equal to the cluster period and first and second voltage states having opposing polarities. The charging device produces first and second charge states on the first and second drops, respectively, of each cluster. The first and second drops are deflected away from the path toward first and second catchers, respectively. Relative velocity of drops of a selected drop cluster is modulated in response to input print data causing the drops to form a merged drop traveling along the path having a third charge state that prevents it from being deflected to either catcher.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2012Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: Michael A.
