Abstract: An embodiment of the invention relates to providing an electrical component that provides an electrical functionality, the component comprising: a fiber felt comprising a tangle of fibers and characterized by a fill factor; and at least two layers of material formed on the fibers that contribute to providing the electrical functionality.

Abstract: An embodiment of the invention relates to an apparatus and related methods for providing a person with an augmented reality, the apparatus comprising: a projector that projects light that generates an augmenting visual image (AVI); optics that directs to a camera a portion of the projected light and a portion of light arriving from a scene so that a combined image comprising an image of the scene and the AVI are generated in a photosensor in the camera; and a controller that processes the combined image to compare positions of homologous features in the image of the scene with positions of corresponding location markers in the AVI, and renders an adjusted AVI based on the comparison, so that the location markers and the corresponding homologous features are substantially coincident in the combined image.

Abstract: A gas flow bubbler system for delivering a precursor gas to a production chamber, the bubbler system comprising: a bubbler for containing precursor molecules in a liquid phase; a cyclone separator for removing aerosol particles from the precursor gas; and a tube through which precursor gas generated in the bubbler flows to the cyclone separator.

Abstract: A gas delivery pipe for transmitting a gas, the pipe comprising: a wall defining a lumen of the pipe; an inlet aperture through which gas flows into the pipe; an outlet aperture through which gas flows out of the pipe; wherein the pipe has an index, SI, characterizing a degree to which the pipe is serpentine that is equal to an integral of an absolute value of changes in angle of direction that a unit vector tangent to a midline of the lumen undergoes in moving along the midline from the inlet to the outlet aperture, which integral has a value greater than or about equal to 180°.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of sequential surface chemistry. More specifically, it relates to products and methods for manufacturing products using Atomic Layer Deposition (“ALD”) to depose one or more materials onto a surface. ALD has the capability for high-quality defect free film deposition with few molecular layers. The present invention includes, in varying embodiments, methods of manufacturing electric components such as batteries, capacitors and electrochemical capacitors by ALD, and the products manufactured by those methods.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for improving the quality of diamonds by eliminating internal defects, such as cracks and vacant volumes, without the use of filler materials such as glass, thereby improving the diamond's optical performance or appearance. More particularly, the disclosure relates to a method of curing defects in a genuine or synthetic diamond or other gemstone by using Atomic Layer Deposition (“ALD”) processes to form atomic layers within vacant volumes or cracks in the diamond or gemstone. Alternatively, ALD may be used to form crystalline layers of a new diamond or other gemstone.
