  • Rotary nanotube bearing structure and methods for manufacturing and using the same
    Patent number: 9150405
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a rotary device includes a multiwall nanotube that extends substantially perpendicularly from a substrate. A rotor may be coupled to an outer wall of the multiwall nanotube, be spaced apart from the substrate, and be free to rotate around an elongate axis of the multiwall nanotube.
    Type: Grant

  • Discrimination-enhanced fiber-optic scintillator radiation detector
    Patent number: 8089048
    Abstract: A fiber-optic scintillator radiation detector includes a multitude of optical fibers that each include an optical core. The optical cores are spaced apart from one another by an interposer material. In various embodiments, the interposer material has an average atomic number less than 13 and a density greater than 1.3 g/cm3.
