  • Patent number: 10843925
    Abstract: Provided are plasma processes for producing graphene nanosheets comprising injecting into a thermal zone of a plasma a carbon-containing substance at a velocity of at least 60 m/s standard temperature and pressure STP to nucleate the graphene nanosheets, and quenching the graphene nanosheets with a quench gas of no more than 1000° C. The injecting of the carbon-containing substance may be carried out using a plurality of jets. The graphene nanosheets may have a Raman G/D ratio greater than or equal to 3 and a 2D/G ratio greater than or equal to 0.8, as measured using an incident laser wavelength of 514 nm. The graphene nanosheets may be produced at a rate of at least 80 g/h. The graphene nanosheets can have a polyaromatic hydrocarbon concentration of less than about 0.7% by weight.

  • Patent number: 6844842
    Abstract: A radar system is operated by controlling and thereby limiting the mean power of the transmitted signal in response to the mean power of the received signal thereby limiting the power to a predetermined power range. Preferably the power control or regulation is performed by varying the pulse repetition frequency and/or the pulse duration of the transmitter pulses. This method is well suited for operating a motor vehicle range warning system.

  • Publication number: 20040004567
    Abstract: Radar systems are used for ascertaining the range to at least one reflecting object present in an observation area and/or for ascertaining the speed of the at least one reflecting object. Such a radar system emits into the observation area successive transmitter pulses having a determined pulse duration, with a determined pulse-repetition frequency as a transmitted signal. The system receives transmitted pulses reflected by the at least one reflecting object of the transmitted signal as a received signal. The disadvantage thereby is, that the method has high signal dynamics, which has an unfavorable effect on the price of the circuit components required for the signal processing. The new method for operating a radar system shall be performable with cost effective means.
