  • Patent number: 7553341
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a process for fabricating an electrode for a capacitor using carbon nanotubes (CNTs), wherein the electrode comprises a metal substrate and a layer of active material (CNTs) coated onto the metal substrate. Specifically, the process starts by dispersing CNTs in a solvent to form a suspension. Next, the CNTs are charged in the suspension. The metal substrate is then immersed in the suspension. Next, the CNTs are deposited onto the metal substrate using electrophoretic deposition (EPD) to form the layer of active material on the metal substrate. In particular, the layer of active material is formed on the metal substrate without using a binder, which effectively reduces contact resistance between the active material and the metal substrate.

  • Patent number: 7263559
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for preventing IP address cheating in dynamic address allocation. Firstly, check the source MAC address and the source IP address involved in an ARP packet sent from a subscriber terminal, i.e., detect whether there is a matching item in the legal subscriber address table; if so, process it normally, otherwise discard the ARP packet. In this way, an illegal subscriber cannot access to network through IP address cheating, but a legal subscriber can operate normally and continuously. For a subscriber terminal with a static IP address, a static item table is set in the legal subscriber address by manual configuration. When a new subscriber terminal asks for being allocated an IP address, check whether the IP address to be allocated has been set as a static item; if so, inform the subscriber terminal of applying for another IP address.

  • Publication number: 20060036410
    Abstract: Evaluation of a material such as a fabric is described by way of acquiring initial sensory response data from the material, performing an Eigen-analysis on the data, extracting at least one feature from the Eigen-analysis; and ranking the material based on the at least one feature. The capability of physiological scaling is provided for use as a basis for the ranking step. In some applications of the present invention the material is a fabric, and some embodiments thereof further include the capability of evaluating the fabric for wrinkle recovery ability and/or for fabric drape-ability.
