There are promising applications for thermophones in high power sonar arrays, flexible loudspeakers, and noise cancellation devices. Transparent CNT sheets have the density of air, the electrical conductivity of metals, and the flexibility to fit to any curved surface.

A hot CNT sheet heats up surrounding air in the loudspeaker application, thereby inducing volume expansion and subsequent p...]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 03 Nov 2020 09:51:37 GMT</pubDate><author>brent.schultze@utdallas.edu</author><guid>http://utdallas.technologypublisher.com/technology/42228</guid></item><item><title>Volume-Filler Universal Sample Holder for Critical Point Dryers</title><caseId>MP-17012</caseId><link>http://utdallas.technologypublisher.com/technology/40004</link><description><![CDATA[
Critical Point Dryers (CPD) require strict adherence to operation guidelines to minimize accumulation of foreign particles, but there are still some that accrue during regular use. Particles build-up over time and may become trapped within the CPD, leading to consistent particle contamination of samples despite carefully cleaning the machine. While an analysis of the CPD revealed several design flaws that were ultimately fixed, the main problem of latent particle deposition on samples was solved with the invention of this universal sample holder.
