The present invention concerns a method for fabricating a nanowire thermoelectric device comprising the step of providing a substrate upon which to form nanowires. The substrate comprises substrate electrodes passing from a top exposed surface of the substrate to a bottom exposed surface of the substrate. Another step involves forming a first electrode pattern, which forms first and second electrically connected groups of substrate electrodes, on the bottom surface of the substrate. A p-type nanowire is then formed on the substrate by activating the first group of substrate electrodes during p-type material deposition. Similarly, a n-type nanowire is formed by activating the second group of substrate electrodes during n-type material deposition. And top electrodes are formed to connect the p-type and the n-type nanowires and a second electrode pattern is formed on the bottom side of the substrate to replace the first electrode pattern to form a thermocouple.

An IR tip assembly includes a shroud having at least one feature that permits releasable attachment of a disposable cover fitted to a shroud. When the disposable cover is fitted to the shroud, at least one air gap is defined between the shroud and the disposable cover. An IR sensor disposed within the IR tip assembly is mechanically and thermally coupled to a heat sink. The at least one defined air gap creates a thermal isolation between the disposable cover and the disposed IR sensor. There can also be airflow through the at least one air gap. Apparatus and methods to create the airflow are described.

In a fire protection device for protecting a zone in which a building and/or people is/are located, it is suggested that it be constructed from fire-resistant material and be larger than the spatial dimensions of the zone to be protected. This fire protection device particularly enables the owner or resident of a building to protect the building from the threat of an external fire even when the fire service is not present.

A thermal inkjet printhead with generally planar heater elements disposed in respective bubble forming chambers such that they are bonded on one side to the chamber so that the other side faces into the chamber. Each heater element receives an energizing pulse to heat ejectable liquid above its boiling point to form a gas bubble on the side facing into the chamber, whereby the gas bubble causes the ejection of a drop of the ejectable liquid from the nozzle. The chamber has a dielectric layer proximate the side of the heater element bonded to the chamber. The dielectric layer has a thermal product less than 1495 Jm⁻²K⁻¹s^−1/2, the thermal product being (ρCk)^1/2, where ρ is the density of the layer, C is specific heat of the layer and k is thermal conductivity of the layer. The present invention reduces the drop ejection energy and the heat dissipation into the printhead IC by improving the thermal isolation between the heater and the substrate.
