A fusible link for a semiconductor device comprises an insulating substrate and a conductive line pair on the surface of the insulating substrate, with the conductive line pair having spaced ends. A polymer is disposed over the insulating substrate and between the conductive line pair ends. The polymer is capable of being changed from a non-conductive to a conductive state upon exposure to an energy beam. Preferably, the polymer comprises a polyimide, more preferably, a polymer/onium salt mixture, most preferably, a polyaniline polymer doped with a triphenylsufonium salt. The link may further comprise a low k nanopore/nanofoam dielectric material adjacent the conductive line ends.

A method is disclosed to fabricate carbon foams comprising a bicontinuous network of disordered or irregular macropores that are three-dimensionally interconnected via nanoscopic carbon walls. The method accounts for (1) the importance of wetting (i.e., matching the surface energies of fiber to sol) and (2) the viscosity of the microheterogeneous fluid filling the voids in the carbon paper. Carbon fiber papers are mildly oxidized by plasma etching, which greatly enhances the uniform uptake of resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) mixtures. The RF solutions are oligomerized prior to infiltration and are cured into continuous polymeric webs that hang supported between adjacent carbon fibers; the polymer-fiber composites are pyrolyzed and retain a sponge-like morphology with 10-1000-nm pores and integrated electronic pathways

Robust, flexible, lightweight, low profile enhanced performance dielectric barrier discharge actuators (plasma actuators) based on aerogels/nanofoams with controlled pore size and size distribution as well as pore shape. The plasma actuators offer high body force as well as high force to weight ratios (thrust density). The flexibility and mechanical robustness of the actuators allows them to be shaped to conform to the surface to which they are applied. Carbon nanotube (CNT) based electrodes serve to further decrease the weight and profile of the actuators while maintaining flexibility while insulating nano-inclusions in the matrix enable tailoring of the mechanical properties. Such actuators are required for flow control in aeronautics and moving machinery such as wind turbines, noise abatement in landing gear and rotary wing aircraft and other applications.

An accelerator pedal assembly including an accelerator pedal attached to the driver's compartment of a vehicle is disclosed. The accelerator is reversibly movable between the neutral or idling position when no pressure is applied to the pedal and an acceleration position when pressure is applied. The assembly includes a compression assembly having a compression chamber with a piston, liquid nanofoam in the chamber, and a geared driver assembly connecting the compression assembly and the pedal. When the pedal is depressed, the driver assembly is activated, forcing the piston into the chamber and causing the force level to rise until it reaches the designed load limit or the threshold. When the pressure on the pedal is relieved, the position of the pedal is immediately reset to the neutral position as the piston is pushed out of the chamber by internal pressure generated by liquid escaping the nanoporous material via the nanopores.
