Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for nanowire alignment and deposition. Energizing (e.g., an alternating current electric field) is used to align and associate nanowires with electrodes. By modulating the energizing, the nanowires are coupled to the electrodes such that they remain in place during subsequent wash and drying steps. The invention also provides methods for transferring nanowires from one substrate to another in order to prepare various device substrates. The present invention also provides methods for monitoring and controlling the number of nanowires deposited at a particular electrode pair, as well as methods for manipulating nanowires in solution.

The invention provides a method for producing nanowires that includes providing a thin film of a catalyst material with varying thickness on a substrate, heating the substrate and thin film, such that the thin film disassociates at the relatively thinner regions and vapor depositing a semiconductor onto the substrate to produce nanowires. A method is also provided in which two or more thin films of different materials are overlayed over a substrate, selectively etching the first underlying thin film to create a plurality of islands of the second thin film that mask portions of the first thin film and expose other portions and growing nanowires on the first thin film. Additional methods for producing nanowires are provided.

Abstract: A controller (16) for controlling a damping system (12) is disclosed. The system (12) has at least two dampers (12a-12d) for damping between sprung and unsprung masses (7, 2) in at least one of compression and rebound directions. A sensor (190a-190d) generates position signals (17a-17d) representative of the displacement between the sprung and unsprung masses (7, 2). A regulator (40a-40b) responds to at least one of the independent compression and rebound control signals (25a-25d, 27a-27d) for adjusting, respectively, at least one of compression and rebound resisting forces of the dampers (12a-12d) between the masses (2, 7). The controller (16) includes a processor (15) that is responsive to signals representative of the position signals (17a-17d) for forming the compression and rebound control signals (25a-25d, 27a-27d) for the regulator (40a, 40b) as a function of motion between the masses (2, 7) or a motion of a vehicle (8) in which the dampers (12a-12d) are located.
