  • Hydrogenated graphene with surface doping and bandgap tunability
    Patent number: 9853104
    Abstract: A graphene compound made from the method of preparing graphene flakes or chemical vapor deposition grown graphene films on a SiO2/Si substrate; exposing the graphene flakes or the chemical vapor deposition grown graphene film to hydrogen plasma; performing hydrogenation of the graphene; wherein the hydrogenated graphene has a majority carrier type; creating a bandgap from the hydrogenation of the graphene; applying an electric field to the hydrogenated graphene; and tuning the bandgap.

  • Torque calibrator
    Patent number: H657
    Abstract: A torque calibrator which has a pair of torque beams with hydraulic cylins for exerting forces on opposite ends of the torque beams and with load cells mounted at opposite ends of the beams for measuring the forces applied to the beams with the beams being designed for a torque cell to be mounted between the beams for having torque applied to the torque cell to calibrate the torque cell.
