Abstract: A hydrogel couplant system for use in ultrasonic imaging includes a sleeve body comprising a hydrogel couplant material; wherein the sleeve body is configured to encapsulate an ultrasonic probe and overcome an impedance mismatch between air and an object being imaged. In one embodiment, the hydrogel couplant material is integrally formed within the body of the sleeve body. In another embodiment, the hydrogel couplant material is adhered to either substantially all of, or a portion of, the outer surface of the sleeve body.

Abstract: A cathode of an electron emitting device is described, where the cathode comprises a carbon nanotube (CNT); a nano-filler material; and a carbonizable polymer, and where the cathode exhibits increased hardness, is formed by high temperature thermal treatment, and is devoid of a substrate. Also described is a method of forming a cathode of an electron emitting device, where the method comprises a) forming a dispersed mixture comprising a carbon nanotube, a nano-filler material, and a carbonizable polymer in a solvent; b) coating and/or extruding the mixture; c) drying the coated and/or extruded mixture to remove at least a substantial portion of the solvent; and d) subjecting the dried mixture to a high temperature thermal treatment; where the method results in the cathode of an electron emitting device having increased hardness.
