Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bicycle saddle assembly equipped with a pneumatic suspension means, capable of absorbing impact transmitted from a saddle and a bicycle body in all directions during riding. SOLUTION: The bicycle saddle assembly includes a stem unit having a saddle stem. The pneumatic suspension member is supported by the stem unit. A saddle seat is at least partially supported by the pneumatic suspension member so as to move in regard to the saddle stem. Therefore, impact transmitted from an occupant and a bicycle frame in all directions during riding is absorbed by the bicycle saddle assembly. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Abstract:
Nanostructured electrochemical biosensors comprised of carbon-based nanomaterials offer a unique high-performance platform for electrochemically sensing numerous biomolecular agents due to their unique mechanical, electrical, and chemical properties. Various embodiments described herein present scalable nanostructured biosensor were multi-layered graphene petal nanosheets (GPNs), Pt nanoparticles, and the biorecognition element (glucose oxidase) are all deposited in situ from a silicon- based substrate. The versatility of the biosensor is greatly enhanced by modulating the biosensor performance (i.e., sensitivity, detection limit, and linear sensing range) by manipulating the size of electrodeposited Pt nanoparticles on the GPNs. This work enables a robust sensor design that is capable of versatile glucose sensing for over one month with minimal interference from endogenous electroactive species (e.g., ascorbic acid, uric acid, acetaminophen) commonly found in human serum samples. A hybrid manganese dioxide/graphitic petal structure on carbon nanotube substrates achieves high specific capacitance, energy density, power density, and long cycle life for flexible supercapacitor application. Vertical nanoscale graphitic petals were prepared by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition on commercial carbon nanotube substrates and subsequently coated with a thin layer of MnO2. The graphitic petal/carbon nanotube architecture without any binder provides an efficient scaffold for maximizing the electrochemical performance of MnO2. The MnO2/graphitic petal/carbon nanotube composite is a promising electrode material for high-performance supercapacitors.

Abstract:
A cycle saddle assembly includes a stem unit (10) having a saddle stem (16). A pneumatic suspension member (12) is supported by the stem unit. A saddle seat (14) is supported at least in part by the pneumatic suspension member (12) for movement relative to the saddle stem (16). Whereby the shock omnidirectionally transmitting from the rider and the frame of the bicycle during riding will be absorbed by such a cycle saddle assembly.
