A method of igniting a deuterium-tritium ICF fuel target to obtain fuel burn in which the fuel target initially includes a hollow spherical shell having a frozen layer of DT material at substantially uniform thickness and cryogenic temperature around the interior surface of the shell. The target is permitted to free-fall through a target chamber having walls heated by successive target ignitions, so that the target is uniformly heated during free-fall to at least partially melt the frozen fuel layer and form a liquid single-phase layer or a mixed liquid/solid bi-phase layer of substantially uniform thickness around the interior shell surface. The falling target is then illuminated from exteriorly of the chamber while the fuel layer is at substantially uniformly single or bi-phase so as to ignite the fuel layer and release energy therefrom.

A method and apparatus for diagnosing the presence and extent of halitosis activity are disclosed. A method includes assaying for the presence of sulfides on the surface of a subject's tongue in order to determine the concentrations of sulfides in the fluids.

A heat transport system, method and composite material in which a plurality of hollow spherical shells or microspheres having an outside diameter of less than or equal to 500 microns are encapsulated or embedded within a bulk material. Each shell has captured therein a volatile working fluid, such that each shell operates as a microsized heat pipe for conducting heat through the composite structure.

A heat pipe having a fluid conduit, a first working fluid, having a first boiling point, disposed in the fluid conduit, and a second working fluid, having a second boiling point being different than the first boiling point, disposed in the fluid conduit. The first and second working fluids are disposed in the fluid conduit of the heat pipe such that during operating heat from the hot body causes the first working fluid to vaporize while the second working fluid remains in liquid phase. The vaporized first working fluid then carries the second working fluid through the fluid conduit to thermally transfer the heat.

A microminiature refrigerator or cryocooler which comprises three flat rectangular plates forming a laminate assembly. Passages are formed as opposed channels in the outer plates for routing refrigerant to and from a refrigerator chamber. The intermediate plate comprises a plurality of hollow spherical shells which are positioned between the opposed channels of the outer plates. Each shell contains a volatile working fluid for enhancing refrigerant heat exchange between the opposing channels.
