The present disclosure discloses a method for forming a high-density aligned carbon nanotube film. The method includes injecting a carbon nanotube solution into a container, and adding a dispersant to form a carbon nanotube-dispersant composite. The method also includes adding a substance that interacts with the carbon nanotube-dispersant composite and then dispersing the obtained carbon nanotube solution using water ultrasonic or probe ultrasonic to obtain a carbon nanotube solution containing a dispersant. Then a large-area or patterned high-quality aligned carbon nanotube film can be formed on a substrate by using processes such as pulling, injection dripping or printing. The method is low-cost and suitable for the preparation of large-area high-density aligned carbon nanotubes, and satisfies various needs for industrial application of carbon-based integrated circuits.

The invention relates to an articulated vehicle including a plurality of vehicles or vehicle parts connected to one another in an articulated manner, a passage arranged between adjacent ones of the vehicles or the vehicle parts, the passage having an inner lining and an outer lining laterally spaced from the inner lining so as to define an empty cavity therebetween, one front wall on each side of the passage between the two adjacent vehicles or vehicle parts, the inner lining and the outer lining being arranged at the front walls of the two adjacent vehicles or vehicle parts while forming the empty cavity therebetween, a noise-absorbing noise insulation layer applied to a free surface on each of the front walls in the empty cavity between the inner and outer lining, wherein each of the noise-absorbing noise insulation layer extends into the empty cavity and terminates at a surface facing opposite to the each of the front walls respectively.

A method of extending the corrosion resistance of a ground anchoring region of a steel or alloy fence or trellis post already having a sacrificial coating or non-sacrificial coating along an entire length of the fence or trellis post, said method including the step of applying at least one additional coating to the ground anchoring region so as to extend the corrosion resistance of the ground anchoring region. The at least one additional coating can be a sacrificial coating and/or non-sacrificial coating.

Embodiments of a system, method and apparatus for a gear are disclosed. For example, a metallic gear hub can include an axis of rotation and metallic gear teeth. The metallic gear teeth can be smaller than a final gear teeth size of the gear. The metallic gear teeth can be co-planar with the axis. In addition, the metallic gear teeth can be non-orthogonal to the axis. A polymer layer can be located on the metallic gear teeth to form polymer gear teeth on the metallic gear teeth. The polymer gear teeth can form the final gear teeth size of the gear.
