    摘要: A system and method for high volume production of nanoparticles, nanotubes, and items incorporating nanoparticles and nanotubes. Microwave, radio frequency, or infrared energy vaporizes a metal catalyst which, as it condenses, is contacted by carbon or other elements such as silicon, germanium, or boron to form agglomerates. The agglomerates may be annealed to accelerate the production of nanotubes. Magnetic or electric fields may be used to align the nanotubes during their production. The nanotubes may be separated from the production byproducts in aligned or non-aligned configurations. The agglomerates may be formed directly into tools, optionally in compositions that incorporate other materials such as abrasives, binders, carbon-carbon composites, and cermets.

    摘要: A chemical sensor for assessing a chemical of interest. In typical embodiments the chemical sensor includes a first thermocouple and second thermocouple. A reactive component is typically disposed proximal to the second thermal couple, and is selected to react with the chemical of interest and generate a temperature variation that may be detected by a comparison of a temperature sensed by the second thermocouple compared with a concurrent temperature detected by the first thermocouple. Further disclosed is a method for assessing a chemical of interest and a method for identifying a reaction temperature for a chemical of interest in a system.

    摘要: An apparatus and process for protecting metal from oxidation during metal forming operations. A salt is deposited onto at least a portion of a surface of the metal. The salt is heated in a protective environment until the salt melts on the metal to form a coated metal. The protective environment may then be removed and the coated metal may be exposed to an active environment. The coated metal may then be formed using standard metal forming processes. In alternative embodiments salts are selected for particular melting and vaporizing temperatures. An automated apparatus for coating a metal object with a salt may be provided. An applicator is configured to deposit the salt onto a surface of the metal object to form a salted metal object. A furnace is configured to receive the salted metal object and to melt at least a portion of the salt on the surface of the salted metal object. A conveyor system is configured to transport the metal object into and out of the applicator and configured to transport the salted metal object into and out of the furnace.

    摘要: A method of reducing target metal oxides and passivated metals to their metallic state. A reduction reaction is used, often combined with a flux agent to enhance separation of the reaction products. Thermal energy in the form of conventional furnace, infrared, or microwave heating may be applied in combination with the reduction reaction.
