Energetic performances of FER-type zeolite in the presence of electrolyte solutions under high pressure

Laura Ronchi, +4 more
- 01 Jul 2017 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the synthesis procedure and therefore of the morphology and crystal size on the energetic performances of pure silica Ferrierite was studied by high pressure intrusion-extrusion of water and LiCl aqueous solutions (nonwetting liquid) at different concentrations.

Video-speed electronic paper based on electrowetting

Robert A. Hayes, +1 more
- 25 Sep 2003 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that electrowetting can also be used to form the basis of a reflective display that is significantly faster than electrophoretic displays, so that video content can be displayed.

Variable-focus liquid lens for miniature cameras

Stein Kuiper, +1 more
- 10 Aug 2004 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, it was demonstrated that two immiscible liquids in a tube form a self-centered lens with a high optical quality, and the motion of the lens during a focusing action was studied by observation through the transparent tube wall.
