  • Publication number: 20230124515
    Abstract: Single atom nanozymes and associated immunoassays, method of making, and method of using such immunoassays are described herein. For example, a method of making a single atom nanozyme includes forming a soft template having multiple nanoscale structures in an aqueous solution and adding a monomer and a metal containing salt into the aqueous solution. The metal containing salt causes polymerization of the monomer to form multiple nanostructures according to the nanoscale structures of the soft template. The method also includes coating the individual formed nanostructures with a confinement layer in the aqueous solution before pyrolyzing. During pyrolysis, the confinement layer at least restricts or completely prevents migration of atoms on the external surface of the individual nanostructures.

  • Patent number: 9914162
    Abstract: An assembly for press forming a deformable material including: a first die array including a plurality of dies, the first die array defining a first die profile; a second die array that is complementary with the first die array and including a plurality of dies, the second die array defining a second die profile that is complementary with the first die profile; and a drive for driving at least one of the first die array and the second die array; wherein in use the plurality of dies of the first die array and the plurality of dies of the second die array sequentially engage the deformable material along a processing length to deform the deformable material to a predetermined profile.

  • Patent number: 9676018
    Abstract: An apparatus for forming the profile of deformable materials including tubular sections. The apparatus (1) includes at least two sets (4, 5) of die elements (6), each set (4,5) including a plurality of die elements (6) respectively arranged to travel along corresponding endless path. The paths each include a forming portion (9,10) in which die elements (6) of each set (4. 5) are opposed to define a forming space (11) therebetween. The forming portion (9, 10) of each path is configured so that one or more dimensions of the forming space (11) reduce along the length of the forming portion (9,10) to simultaneously apply lateral forces to material progressing through the forming portion.

  • Publication number: 20170066031
    Abstract: An apparatus (40) for forming a profiled article (46) comprises: a forming path (41) through which a blank of deformable material to be formed into the profiled article passes; a pair of complementary and opposing body forming die members (45, 45?) adapted to travel along the forming path (41); and a drive (44, 44?) that facilitates travel of the body forming die members (45, 45?) along the forming path (41), wherein the pair of body forming die members (45, 45?) is adapted to act on the blank of deformable material independently to form a desired profile on the blank. Locating elements (75) that locate the blanks may be provided. A method of forming material is also provided. Further, there is provided a length of deformable material for use with the apparatus.
