  • Heat Pipe with Nanostructured Wick
    Publication number: 20100200199
    Abstract: A heat pipe with a nanostructured wick is disclosed, with the method of forming the nanostructured wick on a metal substrate. The wicking material is a pattern of metallic nanostructures in the form of bristles or nanowires attached to a substrate, where the bristles are substantially freestanding.

  • Photocathode
    Patent number: 6908355
    Abstract: An electron-emitting photocathode includes a base and a large number of projecting elements such as microscopic wires projecting from a surface of the base. The photocathode has high quantum efficiency, and hence can be used as the emitting element in a sensitive phototube.
    Type: Grant

  • Carbon fiber-based field emission devices
    Patent number: 5973444
    Abstract: Electron field emission devices (cold cathodes), vacuum microelectronic devices and field emission displays which incorporate cold cathodes and methods of making and using same. More specifically, cold cathode devices comprising electron emitting structures grown directly onto a substrate material. The invention also relates to patterned precursor substrates for use in fabricating field emission devices and methods of making same and also to catalytically growing other electronic structures, such as films, cones, cylinders, pyramids or the like, directly onto substrates.
