Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed to fabricate a building structure by mixing a texture aggregate filler mixed with a phase change material (PCM), said filler including one of: perlite, glass microballoons, glass bubbles, phenolic microballoons, and microspheres; and placing the PCM with the filler on a surface exposed to a conditioned air flow to increase thermal contact between the PCM and the conditioned air flow.
Abstract:
A device includes an upper metallic layer, a lower layer, and a nano sensor array positioned between the upper and lower layers to detect a presence of a gas, a chemical, or a biological object, wherein each sensor's electrical characteristic changes when encountering the gas, chemical or biological object.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for body augmentation by mixing hyaluronic acid (HA) with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to form an HA-PVA hydrogel; and exposing the HA-PVA hydrogel to one or more freeze-thaw cycles or to an amount of radiation effective to crosslink the HA to the PVA to crosslink the HA to the PVA.
Abstract:
