Title: Method for fabricating a substrate having spaced apart microcapillaries thereon

Full Record
Other Related Research

Methods are disclosed for manufacturing a self-supporting substrate having a plurality of spaced-apart needles (spikes or microcapillaries) projecting upwardly from a major surface of the substrate. In a preferred method, metal is deposited onto a porous membrane such that the metal extends into the pores, after which the membrane is dissolved. 9 figures.

Bipolar electrolyzer having fixedly spaced apart electrodes

Patent - in OSTI.gov collection Sutter, R.C. ; Wiseman, R.M.

This patent describes a multielectrode bipolar electrolytic cell which has a generally rectangular floor with vertical side walls extending up from the periphery. It also has a closure lid covering the top of the walls and substantially parallel to the floor, an electrical current distributor insulatingly mounted just inside each end wall of the cell. The improvement described in this patent consists of the sub-assemblies being stably mounted without the use of fixed partitions or threaded fasteners by use of a flat-sided, electrically insulating spacer bars of uniform thickness each of which has an open horizontal channel cut into atmore »« less

Method and apparatus for fabrication of high gradient insulators with parallel surface conductors spaced less than one millimeter apart

Patent Sanders, David M. ; Decker, Derek E.

Optical patterns and lithographic techniques are used as part of a process to embed parallel and evenly spaced conductors in the non-planar surfaces of an insulator to produce high gradient insulators. The approach extends the size that high gradient insulating structures can be fabricated as well as improves the performance of those insulators by reducing the scale of the alternating parallel lines of insulator and conductor along the surface. This fabrication approach also substantially decreases the cost required to produce high gradient insulators.
