  • Publication number: 20080176071
    Abstract: Disclosed are a process for preparing single wall carbon nanotubes with surfactant-coated surface which comprises coating a surface of the carbon nanotubes with a surfactant by adding water to a mixture of the carbon nanotubes and the surfactant, ultrasonically treating the mixture, treating the ultrasonically treated mixture with a initiator, and applying a surfactant to the surface of the resultant carbon nanotubes and, in addition, the carbon nanotubes with surfactant-coated surface prepared by the above process. The formed carbon nanotubes of the present invention can maintain a stable dispersion condition regardless of change of an external environment and be stably dispersed in water even when putting the carbon nanotubes into the water after completely drying the same, so that the carbon nanotubes can be widely used in developing and manufacturing various products.

  • Patent number: 6546687
    Abstract: An improved waterproofing system for the concrete slab of a flat roof on a building is disclosed. The waterproofing system uses hollow plastic panels of designed size, different thickness, and groove and tongue joints for interconnecting the panels. A supplementary waterproofing layer may be installed using sheet membrane materials such as asphalt sheet, metal sheet and other sheets on vertical surfaces, especially the parapet of the roof. The invention further concerns a construction method for applying a fiber mesh reinforcement on the connection joint and for applying fluid-applied materials on the substrate with sheet membrane layers on vertical surfaces. The waterproofing layer of sloped step type, hollow plastic panels of different thickness, permits fast drainage of stagnant water, which inhibits weather damage to the waterproofing layer.

  • Patent number: 5868634
    Abstract: A practice golf club aids golf players in improving their stroke by indicating whether or not their swing generates an adequate amount of club head speed. This is achieved by utilizing the centrifugal force generated by a golf swing to actuate a piston located at the head of the golf club. If sufficient club head speed is attained and the piston is displaced a certain amount, a lamp momentarily blinks and an audible "click" can be heard to notify the user that the swing was indeed adequate. The components of the club include a piston, holding ball bearings, a return spring and an electrical circuit which contains a lamp and a ball bearing which is contacted by the piston when the piston is displaced by centrifugal force. The piston produces a second "click" when it is returned and strikes an upper piston chamber wall.
