Abstract: Disclosed is a nanostructure including a first set of nanowires formed from filling a plurality of voids of a template. The nanostructure also includes a second set of nanowires formed from filling a plurality of spaces created when the template is removed, such that the second set of nanowires encases the first set of nanowires. Several methods are also disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of fabricating a nanostructure including nanowires is disclosed. The method may include forming a first set of nanowires in a template, removing a first portion of the template, thereby creating spaces between the first set of nanowires, forming a second set of nanowires in the spaces between the first set of nanowires, and removing a second portion of the template.

Abstract: A motor including a washer assembly that facilitates reducing or eliminating end bump noise generated as a result of a rotor contacting a bearing assembly during motor operation is described. The rotor assembly includes a shaft rotatably supported within the housing with a pair of bearing assemblies. Each washer assembly includes a snap ring and a damping washer. The damping washer includes three layers, wherein the first and third layers are fabricated from a wear resistant material and the second layer is between the first and third layers, and is fabricated from an energy absorbing material.

Abstract: A mounting assembly for an electric motor with deep drawn endshields includes a resilient outer ring and a split inner ring for gripping engagement with an outer surface of a bearing endshield. The gripping engagement is sufficient to hold the mounting assembly to the motor but insufficient to deform the endshields. The inner ring is distanced slightly from first and second ends of the mounting assembly to isolate and damp motor vibration and prevent vibration transmission to a mounting base.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the development of a new and distinct interspecific mint hybrid ‘Neerkalka’ developed by sexual crossing between improved Mother plant Mentha arvensis (cv Kalka) and pollen plant Mentha spicata (cv Neera), which hybrid is propagated vegetatively by suckers or stem cuttings and is stable for commerical cultivation.

Abstract: A novel mint plant ‘Kosi’ characterized by its high menthol content, high biomass and high oil yield with symmetrical branching giving globular shape to the canopy for equal distribution of sunlight to the lower leaves.

Abstract: A novel Mentha arvensis mint population-variety ‘Damroo’ capable of producing viable seeds and phenotypically homogeneous seed-derived plant population when cross pollinated within its own population and capable of high yield of mint oil.

Abstract: The present invention is related to the development of a new and distinct vegetatively propagated water tolerant plant of Cymbopogon winterianus by selection of a somatic variant from high yielding line Jorlab-2, the selected plant withstands prolonged water stagnation with no reduction in yield of essential oil.

Abstract: The invention provides a novel half-sib damask rose progeny christened as ‘Ranisahiba’ and characterized by its doubled per se oil content and oil yield, high flower biomass with synchronous flowering and firmly fixed morphophysiological plant-traits.

Abstract: The present invention is related to the development of a new and chromosomally distinct vegetatively propagated frost resisted plant of Cymbopogon flexuosus by genetic selection in open pollinated seed progeny of high yielding variety ‘Cauvery’. The selected plant with stay-green habit withstands prolonged frosting in chilling winter and capable of giving an additional harvest during winter, which is not observed so far in normal varieties.

Abstract: A new and distinct hybrid plant named `Himalaya` (Mentha arvensis) characterized by its higher yield of oil which is rich in menthol, improved regeneration potential, vigorous growth, deep green broad thick leaves, pinkish white flowers and tolerance to rust such as alternaria leaf blight, corynespora leaf spot and powdery mildew.
