Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for preparing a stable fluid mixture by mixing hydrophilic and hydrophobic substances using ultrasound wherein homogeneous dispersion and mixing are possible so that dispersibility is greatly improved and separation between the hydrophilic and hydrophobic substances is minimized even after a long time. The apparatus for dispersing and mixing fluids by focused ultrasound includes a fluid storage unit for storing a fluid mixture of at least two fluids comprising a hydrophilic substance and a hydrophobic substance, the fluid storage unit comprising a first connector and a second connector connected to a fluid flow path such that the fluid mixture moves through a fluid flow path providing a portion through which the fluid mixture moves, a fluid dispersion unit for focusing ultrasound to a portion of the fluid flow path to disperse fluids contained in the fluid mixture by ultrasound when the fluid mixture moves the portion, and a fluid circulation unit for circulating the fluid mixture such that a portion of the fluid mixture relatively insufficiently dispersed is moved through the first connector from the fluid storage unit to the fluid dispersion unit and the fluid mixture dispersed by the fluid dispersion unit is moved through the second connector to the fluid storage unit.

The present invention relates to a carbon nanotube composite having improved pressure-resistance sensing sensitivity, a method of manufacturing the carbon nanotube composite, and a pressure sensor including the carbon nanotube composite. A polymer matrix of polydimethylsiloxane, carbon nanotubes, and silver nanoparticles are mixed at a mass ratio of 1 : 0.0018 to 0.0022 : 0.032 to 0.048, and the carbon nanotube and the metallic nanoparticles are uniformly distributed over the polymer matrix. The silver nanoparticles are not attached to a surface of the carbon nanotube, but the carbon nanotube and the silver nanoparticles are uniformly distributed over the polymer matrix. Accordingly, the linearity of the carbon nanotube can be improved, the carbon nanotube composite has improved sensing sensitivity, and the carbon nanotube composite can be manufactured very simply.

The present invention relates to a time information broadcasting apparatus using a power line and a method thereof, in which since power line broadcasting uni-directionally transmits a small amount of data such as time information, whereas power line communication needs a carrier wave of a high frequency band in order to bi-directionally transmit a large amount of data, a carrier wave of a low frequency band can be used, and thus long distance power line broadcasting can be easily performed.
