Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for interrogating a photo-responsive material, such as for authentication purposes, utilizing a light source to illuminate a photo-responsive material, a detector to capture an emission from the photo-responsive material, and a processor to receive a response from the detector while the photo-responsive material is being illuminated after a maximum response has been received, then measuring a change in the received response.

Abstract: Packaging insulation for insertion into a packaging container, which includes an air laid thermoplastic fibrous batt having foldable thermoplastic film material adhered to both sides of the batt. Preferably the thermoplastic material of which the fibers and film are made is the same, and most preferably it is PET. The resulting method and product provides packaging insulation which can be shipped flat and compressed, which expands when unpacked and which can be readily folded to match the interior configuration of a shipping container, such as a cardboard box.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for on- and off-site tagging of fracking sand and a composition of matter capable of being utilized in that process. The composition of matter includes a linker polymer conjugated to a rare earth particle. The method involves forming two mixtures, a first involving mixing a linker polymer conjugated to a rare earth particle into an aqueous blend of fracking sand, and a second involving an activated amine terminated polymer in an aqueous solution. The second mixture is then added to the first mixture, and covalent amide bonds are formed.

Abstract: A reaction chamber includes an enclosure having an interior coated with a metal nitride compound providing an average reflectivity to internal infra-red radiation of greater than 90%. The metal nitride compound can be titanium nitride, zirconium nitride, hafnium nitride, or a nitride of another metal, and can be between 0.1 and 10 microns thick, preferably between 4 and 5 microns thick. The layer does not tarnish, and can withstand reaction chamber temperatures up to at least 250° C., preferably up to 300° C. It is applied by a deposition process, such as PVD, CVD, thermal spray, or cathodic arc, wherein the enclosure itself is the metal nitride deposition enclosure. Uniformity of deposition can be improved by rotating the deposition source through T degrees and back through T±d, with a total of 360/d repetitions. The reactor can be a CVD reactor that deposits polysilicon onto a heated filament.
