Publication number: 20250141108Abstract: This disclosure includes, and results in the creation of, a printed carbon nanotube and/or graphene hybrid antenna and/or EMI shield, comprised of a conductive layer that comprises a metal mesh (MM) layer or a nanowire layer on a substrate, with a printed Signal Enhancement Layer (SEL) on the conductive layer. The SEL includes an ink that includes one or both of carbon nanotube (CNT) and graphene. The circuit pattern results after the “exposed” conductive layer (i.e., the regions where the CNT/graphene ink is not printed) is removed via chemical etching or mechanical cutting. The structure (the antenna/EMI shield) is preferably but not necessarily transparent.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2024Publication date: May 1, 2025Applicant: Chasm Advanced Materials, Inc.MAInventors: Robert F.

Patent number: 11618186Abstract: The invention relates to a method for forming an article comprising a pathway of particles wherein a termination of the pathway of particles is exposed. The method comprises arranging the particles by applying an electric field and/or a magnetic field at an interface between a water soluble or a non-water soluble matrix and a matrix comprising a viscous material and particles. After fixating the viscous material, the termination is exposed by dissolving the water soluble or non-water soluble matrix.

Publication number: 20180235900Abstract: The medical devices of the present disclosure are filled reservoirs such as a cylinder comprised of a polymer film which contains a reservoir of active agent, plus excipient, in some cases, for disease prevention, treatment, and/or contraception. The polymer film is permeable to the active agent after subcutaneous implantation of the device into a body. The cylinder is comprised by the lamination of one or two polymer films which are ultrasonically welded to contain the drug material. The use of an ultrasonic welding process enables sealing of the polymer films to create the closed cylinder. The medical device is useful for long term disease prevention, such as prevention of HIV infection.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2018Publication date: August 23, 2018Inventors: Stephanie Lynn Swarner, Leah Johnson, Robert F.
