Publication number: 20240067351Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure generally relate to an aircraft propulsion system for an aircraft. The aircraft propulsion system can include at least an electric power source, an electric machine, and a voltage regulator. The voltage regulator regulates the electrical power provided to the electric machine from the electrical power source. The electric power source is capable of providing an AC or DC electrical output and can include a combustion engine with a generator or an electrical storage device.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Thomas William Brown, Paul Robert Gemin, Di Pan, Dominic Barone

Patent number: 10712347Abstract: Sensing compositions, sensing element, sensing systems and sensing devices for the detection and/or quantitation of one or more analytes. Compositions comprising carbon nanotubes in which the carbon nanotubes retain their ability to luminesce and in which that luminescence is rendered selectively sensitive to the presence of an analyte. Compositions comprising individually dispersed carbon nanotubes, which are electronically isolated from other carbon nanotubes, yet which are associated with chemical selective species, such as polymers, particularly biological polymers, for example proteins, which can interact selectively with, or more specifically selectivity bind to, an analyte of interest. Chemically selective species bind, preferably non-covalently, to the carbon nanotube and function to provide for analyte selectivity. Chemically selective species include polymers to which one or more chemically selective groups are covalently attached.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2014Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOISInventors: Michael S. Strano, Seunghyun Baik, Paul Barone

Patent number: 7887774Abstract: The present invention is directed toward methods of selectively functionalizing carbon nanotubes of a specific type or range of types, based on their electronic properties, using diazonium chemistry. The present invention is also directed toward methods of separating carbon nanotubes into populations of specific types or range(s) of types via selective functionalization and electrophoresis, and also to the novel compositions generated by such separations.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2009Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Assignee: William Marsh Rice UniversityInventors: Michael S. Strano, Monica Usrey, Paul Barone, Christopher A. Dyke, James M. Tour, W. Carter Kittrell, Robert H Hauge, Richard E. Smalley, Irene Marie Marek, legal representative
