  • System and methodology utilizing a getter based storage system
    Patent number: 10513437
    Abstract: A technique may be employed to facilitate manufacturing/processing of generator tubes for use in a variety of logging applications. A getter-based gas storage chamber is provided with a getter able to adsorb a desired gas such as a deuterium and/or tritium gas. The getter-based gas storage chamber may be connected with a neutron tube via a gas flow network and a releasable coupling. The gas, e.g. deuterium and/or tritium gas, is released by heating the getter. The gas is allowed to flow through the gas flow network and into the neutron tube.

  • Novel Self-Assembling Nanocomposite Structures and Methods of Preparing Same
    Publication number: 20140212575
    Abstract: The present invention includes a novel self-assembling nanocomposite structure comprising a shape-persistent three-dimensional cage molecule. In one aspect, binding of nanoparticles to metal coordinating groups in the cage molecule allows for the self-assembly of the nanoparticles into a nanocomposite material. The present invention further includes methods of preparing such self-assembling nanocomposite structures.
