Abstract: Embodiments include methods of fabricating thin film composite carbon molecular sieve membranes by exposing a polymer layer to a vapor-phase metal-organic precursor under vapor phase infiltration conditions such that the vapor-phase metal- organic precursor diffuses into the polymer layer and reacts with a functional group of the polymer to form an inorganic-organic complex; exposing the polymer layer to a vapor-phase co-reactant under vapor phase infiltration conditions such that the vapor- phase co-reactant diffuses into the polymer layer and oxidizes the organic-inorganic complex to form a metal oxide; and subjecting the polymer layer to inert-atmosphere or vacuum pyrolysis. Embodiments further include thin film composite carbon molecular sieves, and methods of separating one or more chemical species using the carbon molecular sieve membranes.

Abstract: A hybrid, modularized, tailored and re-configurable distributed monitoring and characterization device for bodies of water and sediments, including oceans, lakes, rivers, and water reservoirs. The device includes individual nodes, which are deployed as either a stand-alone or networked system. Each node is a multi-physics and multi-purpose piece of equipment with electronics and sensors configured into different modules which interconnect similar to building blocks. The device provides two housing options: a hard shell housing option for shallow water and an oil-filled soft shell housing scheme for deep water.

Abstract: In an aspect, the present invention provides an optical encryption terminal for generating and distributing a cryptographic key signal in a cryptography key distribution system having at least two optical encryption terminals. The optical encryption terminal comprises an electronic processing unit and the optical encryption terminal is configured to selectively receive optical input signals generated by a source of electromagnetic radiation and optical input signals generated by a further optical encryption terminal, and to selectively output first optical output signals to a detection element and second optical output signals to the further optical encryption terminal, wherein the first optical output signals are based on the optical input signals generated by the further optical encryption terminal and transformed in accordance with an optical encryption pattern provided at the optical encryption terminal. Furthermore, the optical encryption terminal is configured to determine, using the electronic processing unit, a cryptographic key signal on the basis of at least one radiometric and/or photometric quantity associated with the optical output signals detected by the detection element.

Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor device having a lateral semiconductor heterojunction involves forming a first metal chalcogenide layer of the lateral semiconductor heterojunction adjacent to a first metal electrode on a substrate. The first metal chalcogenide layer includes a same metal as the first metal electrode and at least some of the first metal chalcogenide layer includes metal from the first metal electrode. A second metal chalcogenide layer of the lateral semiconductor heterojunction is formed adjacent to the first metal chalcogenide layer. A second metal electrode is formed adjacent to the second metal chalcogenide layer. The second metal chalcogenide layer includes a same metal as the second metal electrode.

Abstract: A method for transmitting information across a water-air interface with a ultraviolet (UV) beam, the method including emitting the UV beam in a first medium, with a first optical wireless communication device; measuring a scintillation index of the UV beam in a second medium, different from the first medium, at a second optical wireless communication device; selecting, based on a value of the scintillation index, a modulation scheme for the UV beam; and modulating the UV beam with the selected modulation scheme. The UV beam has a wavelength in a range of 100 to 400 nm.
