Abstract: A multipurpose and transferrable sample platform for supporting, analyzing and/or processing a target material. The platform includes a substrate; a dielectric layer formed over a face of the substrate; electrodes formed over the dielectric layer; a slot formed through the substrate and the dielectric layer; and an exfoliated graphene-based membrane placed over the slot and in electrical contact with the electrodes. The exfoliated graphene-based membrane is configured to support, or act upon, a study material or chemical precursors.

Abstract: This invention relates to kinetically soluble and bioavailable forms of opicapone which exhibit good chemical and solid state stability. In particular, the invention relates to a solid dispersion comprising amorphous opicapone and one or more polymers, wherein the weight ratio of the amorphous opicapone to the one or more polymers ranges from 1:1 to 1:5.

Abstract: The aerospace component joints comprise a first component member comprising a first bonding face, a second component member comprising a second bonding face, one or more bond-enhancing features, and an adhesive layer forming a bond between the first and second bonding faces. The one or more bond-enhancing features comprises a plurality of reinforcing protrusions integral with the first component member, projecting from the first bonding face through the adhesive layer, and into the component member and/or one or more adhesive-receiving recesses defined in the first or second bonding faces and filled by the adhesive layer. The methods of preparing a component member for an aerospace component joint comprise integrating one or more bond-enhancing features into the component member. The methods of forming the aerospace component joint comprise positioning and adhesive-bonding the first bonding face to the second bonding face, and integrating the bond-enhancing feature(s) into the aerospace component joint.

Abstract: The present invention falls within the scope of thermo-laminated and compact high-pressure composites, namely it relates to a method for the manufacture of a post-deformable high-pressure composite, which can be used in the automotive, aircraft, railway and naval industries, as well as in the architecture and design sector, both in indoor and outdoor environments, comprising the steps of formation of a composite (1) by the arrangement of at least two layers of material, including a layer of Kraft paper sheets (3) coated with thermoplastic resin and a layer of decorative coating; the composite formed in a flat shape, when subjected to a certain temperature and pressure in a mould (4), changes in its geometry according to the shape of that mould (4). It is also an object of this invention the product obtained with the aforementioned manufacturing method.

Abstract: A fuel tank filler apparatus comprises a capless filler neck closure adapted to be mated with an outer end of a fuel-tank filler neck. The capless filler neck closure may be removable from the fuel-tank filler neck for service or repair.

Abstract: A multipurpose membraneless sample platform for supporting a target material, includes a substrate; a dielectric layer formed over a side of the substrate; first and second electrodes formed over the dielectric layer; and a window formed through the substrate and the dielectric layer. There is no material covering the window.

Abstract: Reduced graphene oxide is produced by adding graphene oxide and electrically active bacteria to a container. After a period of time reduced graphene oxide is produced by an interaction of the electrically active bacteria and the graphene oxide. The resulting composition of matter includes reduced graphene oxide and electrically active bacteria. The resulting composition of matter can be doped with a plurality of different elements.
