  • Publication number: 20230407564
    Abstract: A monitoring system comprising: (a) one or more sensors that monitor activity, amplitude, size, scale, duration of activity or a combination thereof of stock on a paper machine and (b) a control system in communication with the one or more sensors and one or more foil sections within the paper machine; wherein the control system measures the activity, amplitude, size, scale, duration of activity or a combination thereof of the stock and correlates the activity, amplitude, size, scale, duration of activity or a combination thereof to formation of fibers within the stock so that an angle, height, or both of the one or more foil sections are adjusted to change the activity, amplitude, size, scale, duration of activity or a combination thereof in the stock.

  • Publication number: 20220407042
    Abstract: An electrochemical cell and a method of preparing the electrochemical cell are provided. The electrochemical cell, such as a lithium battery or a solid-state lithium ion battery, includes a first electrode having a solid polymer electrolyte deposited thereon, wherein the solid polymer electrolyte comprises a microporous polymer swollen with an organic carbonate liquid and a dissociable lithium salt, and a second electrode. The method of preparing an electrochemical cell includes providing the first electrode, immersing the first electrode in an electrolyte solution, depositing the solid polymer electrolyte on the immersed first electrode, and attaching the second electrode to an exposed surface of the solid polymer electrolyte, thereby forming the electrochemical cell. During operation, the solid polymer electrolyte is capable of growing a passivating polymer layer at an interface between the first electrode and the solid polymer electrolyte.

  • Publication number: 20130045416
    Abstract: Synthesis of gold microtubes and nanotubes suspendable in solution is presented. The synthesis is accomplished using an AAO template route, wherein a polymer tube is used as a sacrificial core. The synthesis produces hollow structures that consist of only gold. These nanostructures exhibit two SPR modes, which correspond to both the transverse and longitudinal modes. The mode assignment was confirmed by measuring SPR behavior as both aligned arrays and in solution. The performance of gold nanotubes as refractive index detectors was quantified and determined to be more sensitive than analogous solid nanorods prepared under identical conditions, and are among the most sensitive nanostructured plasmon sensors to date. Due to their intense and sensitive resonances in the NIR spectrum, these solution-suspendable nanoparticles have potential to be used as in vitro or in vivo sensors.
