    Abstract: Apparatus is described for rapidly coating a large area, or for rapidly producing a powder. In one embodiment, a liquid having a coating chemical is pumped from a liquid reservoir to a distribution manifold. From the distribution manifold, the liquid is carried under pressure to a geometric array, e.g., linear, of atomization nozzles. Flow equalization means are provided for equalizing the flow of the liquid delivered to each nozzle, and, preferably, means are provided for equalizing the temperature of the liquid delivered to each nozzle. The liquid, upon exiting the nozzles with the attendant pressure drop atomizes. The atomized liquid coats a substrate either in non-reacted or reacted form, or forms a powder. In a preferred embodiment, a solution of precursor chemical is reacted in a geometric array of flames produced at the nozzles, and a coating material produced in the flame coats the substrate, or a powder is formed. In another embodiment, vaporized precursor and vaporized are fed to a burner chamber having a linear exit slit. The vapor exiting the slit is burned, and material produced in a flame reaction are deposited on a substrate, or the powder formed is collected.

    Abstract: The present invention involves controlled atomization of liquids for various applications such as part/droplet seeding for laser-based measurements of flow velocity, temperature, and concentration; flame and a plasma based elemental analysis; nano-powder production; spray drying for generation of small-sized particles; nebulizers in the production of sub-micron size droplets and for atomizing fuel for use in combustion chambers. In these and other atomizer applications the control of droplet and/or particle size is very critical In some applications extremely small droplets are preferred (less than a micron), while in others, droplet diameters on the scale of several microns are required. The present invention has the flexibility of forming droplets within a particular range of diameters, wherein not only the size of the average droplet can be adjusted, but the range of sizes may be adjusted as well. The atomizer (4) itself is in the form of a heated tube (44) having an inlet end (48) and an outlet end (50). As liquid travels through the tube it is heated and upon exiting the tube and entering a reduced pressure area the liquid atomizes to form very fine droplets. By electrically heating the tube by passing a current therethrough, the heating adjustment can be performed on-the-fly allowing size adjustment during operation of the atomizer. Several different embodiments of the atomization device are disclosed.

    Abstract: A method for causing a very fine atomization or vaporization of a liquid or liquid-like fluid, where the resulting atomized or vaporized solution is entered into engine, instrument or area for the fluid to be in mixed. The ability of the near supercritical atomizer to produce very fine droplets of a wide range of liquids without any aspirant is very important for number of industrial applications. Especially when the drop size can be so finely controlled. Industries needing such fine atomization include applications such as combustion, engines, scientific equipment, chemical processing, waste disposal control, cleaning, etching, insect control, surface modification, humidification and vaporization. It is important in these applications not to cause a decomposition of the material being atomized. Staying below the supercritical point normally enables no decomposition and/or no precipitation of components within the liquid or fluid in most applications, but a very fine atomization is obtained without the need of any aspirant.

    Abstract: Tunable capacitors (10, 20, 30, 40) have a dielectric material (16, 26, 36, 42) between electrodes, which dielectric material comprises an insulating material (17, 27, 37, 42) and electrically conductive material, (18, 28, 38, 48) e.g., conductive nanoparticulates, dispersed therein. In certain cases, enhanced tune-ability is achieved when the dielectric material comprises elongated nanoparticulates (38). Further enhanced tune-ability may be achieved by aligning elongated particulates in an electrode-to-electrode direction. Nanoparticulates may be produced by heating passivated nanoparticulates. Passivated nanoparticulates may be covalently bound within a polymeric matrix. High bias potential device structures can be formed with preferential mobilities.

    Abstract: Capacitors (10,20,40,50,70,80) having a fluid dielectric material that is transported or undergoes a phase change are disclosed. The dielectric medium change results in a change in the total dielectric constant of the material between the electrodes (12, 14, 72, 74, 81, 82), thus changing the capacitance of the capacitors. Transporting or phase changing the dielectric fluids into and out of a the electric field of the capacitor, changes the effective dielectric constant and the capacitance of the capacitor.

    Abstract: The materials and processes for forming fuel cell electrodes can include substrates of codeposited materials including an electrically conductive material, such as graphite, a polymer film, such as a proton-exchange membrane, and a catalytic material, such as platinum. The material may be applied to a polymer film by combustion chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) to produce a layered membrane, or the polymer may be deposited simultaneously with the catalytic coating to produce a membrane wherein the layers are intermingled. Proton exchange membranes prepared by this method are useful in the manufacture of fuel cells.
