Templating hydrogels
Templating processes for creating polymerized hydrogels are reviewed. The use of contact photonic crystals and of non-contact colloidal crystalline arrays as templates are described and applications to chemical sensing and device fabrication are illustrated. Emulsion templating is illustrated in the formation of microporous membranes, and templating on reverse emulsions and double emulsions is described. Templating in solutions of macromolecules and micelles is discussed and then various applications of hydrogel templating on surfactant liquid crystalline mesophases are illustrated, including a nanoscale analogue of colloidal crystalline array templating, except that the bead array in this case is a cubic array of nonionic micelles. The use of particles as templates in making core-shell and hollow microgel beads is described, as is the use of membrane pores as another illustration of confinement templating
Tactical Vectoring Equipment
Patenta plurality of bi -color lights is mounted to the stern of a ship
such as an aircraft carrier. The lights are arranged so that
they are visible from an escort ship that is following the
aircraft carrier while attempting to maintain a selected range
and angular position relative to the aircraft carrier. The lights
are arranged such that the number of lights of each color that
are visible from the escort ship depends upon the angular
position of the escort ship relative to the aircraft carrier
