Abstract: Disclosed herein is a nanostructured material comprising defective carbon nanotubes chosen from impregnated, functionalized, doped, charged, coated, and irradiated nanotubes, and combinations thereof. The defective carbon nanotubes contain a defect which is a lattice distortion in at least one carbon ring. Also disclosed is a method of purifying fluids, such as liquids, including water, as well as gases, including the air using, this nanostructured material.

Abstract: A brush reducing system includes a power source and a brush reducing device that includes a rotating drum assembly having an engagement plate disposed on an outer periphery. The engagement plate is permanently affixed to the drum, and includes a radial engagement face and a horizontal engagement face for supporting a tooth element that registers in an attack position. The engagement plate further includes a restraint aperture. The tooth element includes a body having a first engagement face and a second engagement face. The first and second engagement faces are complementary to the radial engagement face and the horizontal engagement face of the engagement plate. A first leg and a second leg each include a restraint aperture complementary in size and location to the restraint aperture of the engagement plate for receiving a restraint pin may be inserted proper registration of the tooth element.

Abstract: A universal fit burner is disclosed having a main body member adapted to receive a venturi tube that is slidably mounted for increasing or decreasing the length thereof relative to the main body and a gas inlet for fitting different sized grills. Also provided is an extension member that can be coupled to the main body member for increasing its size and an adjustable mounting bracket for securing the burner in the firebox of the grill.

Abstract: A universal multiple-position warming rack for a grill is attached to the cooking surface with mounting blocks and pivotally supported in a limited range of angular travel. The universal multiple-position warming rack is engaged by the grill upper housing member such that when the upper housing member is opened the universal multiple-position warming rack is compelled to a position behind and above the cooking surface and when the upper housing member is closed the universal warming rack is compelled to a position substantially above the cooking surface.

Abstract: A universal condiment rack having a mounting bracket for adjustably securing the rack to cooking grills of many configurations is provided. The mounting bracket pivots to accommodate grills of a variety of dimensional characteristics and has an adjustable protrusion for leveling the rack on grills having different vertical tapers.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a material for altering electromagnetic radiation incident on the material. The material disclosed herein comprises carbon nanotubes having a length (L) that meets the following formula (1): L?½???(1) where ? is the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation incident on the material. Also disclosed herein are methods of altering electromagnetic radiation, including mitigating, intensifying, or absorbing and re-transmitting electromagnetic radiation using the disclosed material.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are articles for removing contaminants from a fluid, such as a liquid or gas, the article comprising carbon nanotubes, which comprise at least one molecule or cluster attached thereto or located therein, wherein the carbon nanotubes are present in the article in an amount sufficient to reduce the concentration of contaminants in fluid that come into contact with the article. A method of making the nanomesh material used in such articles is also disclosed, as are methods of purifying fluids using these articles.

Abstract: System and method for analyzing signals. Signal data corresponding to a signal is received, e.g., from a data acquisition device, and processed to generate formatted signal data, including segmenting the signal data based on the a period of the signal data to generate segments. The formatted signal data is displayed in a three dimensional (3D) eye diagram by plotting the segments in an overlaid manner, which is usable to analyze the signal. User input may be received specifying attributes of the 3D eye diagram, e.g., zoom, rotation, translation, stereoscopy, display device, plot colors and line styles, point colors and styles, symbol rate, eye length, number of segments to display, projections, e.g., for generating I- or Q-eye diagrams or constellation diagrams, auxiliary information display, e.g., highlight points for symbol timing and/or additional points for ideal symbol locations, data sources, etc., and the 3D eye diagram displayed according to the specified attributes.

Abstract: An adjustable searing grate for a barbecue grill comprises a cooking surface and an outrigger device. The cooking surface comprises a plurality of searing wires arranged in a substantially parallel configuration and a longitudinal member disposed substantially perpendicularly to the plurality of searing wires. Each of the plurality of searing wires has a substantially oval cross-section. The longitudinal member supports the plurality of searing wires. The outrigger device is adapted to slidably engage the cooking surface. The outrigger device is slidably fixed along one of the plurality of searing wires and the longitudinal member in order to adjust a dimension of the adjustable searing grate.

Abstract: Grill brushes and methods of use thereof are disclosed. A representative grill brush includes a cleaning head. The cleaning head includes an abrasive pad and a plurality of bristles on a bottom side of the cleaning head. The plurality of bristles extends through the abrasive pad.
