Abstract: A heat pipe comprises a first pipe and at least a second pipe. The first pipe includes an evaporator, a heat insulator and a condenser communicating with each other to define a hollow chamber. Two ends of first pipe along an axial direction of the heat pipe are sealed. The second pipe is disposed in the hollow chamber and includes an accommodating space and a first capillary structure disposed in one end of the accommodating space closer to the evaporator. The hollow chamber of the first pipe is mainly a channel for vapor, the second pipe is mainly a channel for working fluid, the vapor is driven by the vapor pressure difference to move in the first pipe and from the evaporator to the condenser, and the working fluid is driven by the vapor pressure difference to flow in the second pipe and from the condenser to the evaporator.

The wick structure is disposed in the hollow chamber and extended along an axial direction of the pipe. A section of the wick structure along the axial direction is not a uniform section between two ends of the pipe.

Abstract: A heat pipe is divided into an evaporation section, an insulation section and a condensation section. The insulation section includes a pipe section and a liquid delivery structure. The pipe section has a top wall and a bottom wall. The liquid delivery structure is a solid structure and in contact with the top and bottom walls of the pipe section. The liquid delivery structure and the top and bottom walls of the pipe section form a vapor channel. The liquid delivery structure is divided into a center portion and an outer layer, and the center portion has a porosity greater than the porosity of the outer layer. The outer layer is coupled to the center portion, and the center portion and the vapor channel are spaced from one another, so as to achieve the liquid and vapor isolation and improve the heat conducting effect of the heat pipe.

Abstract: A charge storage memory is configured in a NAND array, and includes NAND strings coupled to bit lines via string select switches and includes word lines. A controller is configured to produce a bias for performing an operation on a selected cell of the NAND array. The bias includes charging the bit line while the string select switches are closed, such as to not introduce noise into the strings caused by such bit line charging. The semiconductor body regions in memory cells that are on both sides of the memory cells in the NAND strings that are coupled to a selected word line are coupled to reference voltages such that they are pre-charged while the word lines of the strings in the array are transitioned to various voltages during the operation.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for compensating for threshold voltage variations among memory cells in an array by applying different bias conditions to selected bit lines. Techniques are also described herein for connecting global bit lines to a variety of levels of memory cells in a 3D array, to provide for minimizing capacitance differences among the global bit lines.

Abstract: A method of treating organic compounds in groundwater utilizes permeable catalytic barriers to carry out heterogeneous catalytic oxidation to degrade organic compounds. The permeable catalytic barriers are made of highly permeable catalytic materials, used to contact with the polluted groundwater mixed with oxidant to carry out heterogeneous catalytic oxidation to degrade organic compounds. Ditches are properly excavated to be filled with catalytic materials so as to form the permeable catalytic barriers. And, groundwater monitoring wells and oxidant injection wells are also built at proper locations, so that proper amount of oxidant can be determined and re-treatment can be promptly operated if necessary.
