Patent number: 9260803Abstract: A method of electrospinning fibers is disclosed. The fibers have an inner core surrounded by a porous outer shell. The method comprises co-electrospinning first and second liquids as core and shell respectively, the second liquid surrounding the first liquid in a jet issuing from a Taylor cone, wherein the first and second liquids are miscible or semi-miscible with each other, such that pore generation is driven in the shell of the fiber. The liquids may be solutions or melts. The electrical conductivity, viscosity, miscibility and other parameters of the liquids determine the structure of the produced fibers. As well as producing fibers having a porous shell there are described methods of co-electrospraying porous beads as well as core-shell vesicles having a porous shell. The methods may be used to produce hydrogen storage fibers, vesicles and beads. The methods may also be used for producing controlled drug-delivery fibers, vesicles and beads.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2011Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: THE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY FACILITIES COUNCILInventors: William Ian Fraser David, Martin Owen-Jones, Derek William Kenneth Jenkins, Stephen Bennington, Arthur Lovell, Zeynep Kurban

Publication number: 20130302763Abstract: Interactive blocks (12, 212) that present changeable individual characterizations (118) and sensory output based on meaningful assemblage of sensed individual characterizations from similar juxtaposed blocks (12, 212) are configured to record their interactions to produce an historic log or both successful interactions that yield a sensory output or failed interactions that produce no logical or meaningful sensory event. Uploading of the historical log (158) permits automated computational assessment of all interactions, with a centralized computing resource dynamically arranged to cause selective download of new content and/or new operating instructions to one or more of the interactive blocks (12, 212) based of identification of trends in the historical record.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2011Publication date: November 14, 2013Applicant: SMALTI TECHNOLOGY LIMITEDInventors: Thomas Joseph Edwards, Thomas Martin Owen
