Patent number: 9658087Abstract: A method for making an artificial hair sensor, comprising the steps of: (a) depositing an electrode at each end of a microcapillary having an inside surface; (b) coating a structural fiber with alumina; (c) placing the alumina coated structural fiber inside the microcapillary, wherein part of the alumina coated structural fiber is in a spaced annular relationship with the microcapillary inside surface and part of the fiber extends outside the microcapillary; (d) placing the microcapillary and alumina coated structural fiber inside a heated furnace chamber; and, (e) injecting a vaporized catalyst into the heated furnace chamber. The vaporized catalyst may be a solution of ferrocene in xylene. The microcapillary may be made of glass.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2015Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air ForceInventors: Jeffrey W.

Patent number: 7682539Abstract: The present invention relates to a process of forming fibers of silk and silk-like proteins in a solution with a solvent consisting of a pure ionic liquid, an ionic liquid mixture, an ionic liquid mixed with one or more cosolvents, or an ionic liquid mixture mixed with one or more cosolvents. A solution is extruded through a spinneret orifice to form a fiber. The spinneret is either directly immersed in the coagulation bath or the spinneret is surrounded by a noncoagulating medium (i.e., air or other inert fluid) and the extruded fiber is subsequently immersed in a coagulation bath. Fibers may also be formed by extruding a fiber directly from a reservoir of solution into a noncoagulating, inert medium and then immersing the extruded fibers into a coagulation bath to rinse the fiber of ionic liquid.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2007Date of Patent: March 23, 2010Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air ForceInventors: David M. Phillips, Robert A. Mantz, Paul C. Trulove, Hugh C. DeLong

Patent number: 7671178Abstract: Silk is dissolved in an ionic liquid and is regenerated in a range of structural forms without requiring the use of harmful solvents. Silk solubility can be controlled by the selection of the ionic liquid constituents, with small cations and halide or pseudohalide anions favoring solution. The rinse solvent exercises a significant influence over the final properties of the regenerated silk.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2005Date of Patent: March 2, 2010Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air ForceInventors: David M. Phillips, Robert A. Mantz, Paul C. Trulove, Hugh C. DeLong

Patent number: 4518254Abstract: A system of ocean depth sounding from the air which consists in projecting an infrared beam (2) down normal to the ocean surface along a forward travel path to backscatter a signal to a receiver (10) to measure distance to the ocean surface, and simultaneously projecting down a green beam (1) to sweep across the direction of travel to backscatter a series of signals from the ocean bottom over an extended width to a second receiver (11), adjusting the receiver gain from the green signal to achieve optimum ocean bottom measurement and calculating ocean depth from the infrared and green signal differential.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 1982Date of Patent: May 21, 1985Assignee: The Commonwealth of AustraliaInventors: Michael F.
