Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Two processes in nanotechnology by which nanowires can be manufactured are suspension and deposition. A suspended nanowire is held up by the ends in an evacuated chamber, and then is chemically etched or bombarded with high-speed atoms or molecules to reduce its diameter. Another method involves indenting the surface of a wire in the center of a suspended span, raising the temperature, and then stretching the wire while it is near its melting point. A deposited nanowire is fabricated on a surface consisting of some non-conducting substance such as plastic or glass. The process is similar to that by which semiconductor chips are grown, except that the result is a linear(one-dimensional) structure rather than a flat(two-dimensional) or solid(three-dimensional) structure.  7, fiche 4, Anglais, - nanowire

A nanometer-scale wire [is] made of metal atoms, silicon, or other materials that conduct electricity. Nanowires are built atom by atom on a solid surface, often as part of a microfluidic device. They can be coated with molecules such as antibodies that will bind to proteins and other substances of interest to researchers and clinicians. By the very nature of their nanoscale size, nanowires are incredibly sensitive to such binding events and respond by altering the electrical current flowing through them, and thus can form the basis of ultra sensitive molecular detectors.  2, fiche 4, Anglais, - nanowire

[...] les nanofils constituent aussi le système artificiel le plus abouti pour étudier les phénomènes quantiques (transport balistique, cohérence, excitations élémentaires) dans des systèmes unidimensionnels. La fabrication des nanofils permet d'obtenir des objets aux propriétés électroniques très intéressantes en raison de leur excellente cristallinité, mais aussi du contrôle de leurs dimensions et de leur composition chimique. Ce contrôle a rendu possible ces dernières années l'intégration de ces nanofils dans des composants tels que des transistors à effet de champ, des composants logiques, des diodes électroluminescentes, des lasers dont l'émission est commandée électroniquement et des capteurs.  3, fiche 4, Français, - nanofil

Many methods have been used in setting and supporting end posts... A satisfactory method is to set the anchor post at a slight angle. The post is then guyed with a strong galvanized wire, one end of which is fastened to the post 0, 3 m(1 ft) from the top and the other to an anchor 1 m(3 ft) from the post. A very satisfactory anchor is made by placing a 1 m(3 ft) iron bar... in a post hole...

Esops [employee share ownership plans] are not merely a new kind of co-operative : indeed, their origins and their structure ensure that control generally remains with professional managers and with the trustees, who are typically lawyers and financial advisors. Only when the Esop is so structured as to dictate that the trust committee follows the voted decisions of the shares’ owners-that is, the company workers-does a "democratic" version of an Esop come into being. Some of these include the Solar Center, in San Francisco; Atlas Chain, in Pennsylvania; and Seymour Speciality Wire Company, in Connecticut. These companies use what has been called a two tiered scheme-where the employees mandate the decisions of the trustee board-in order to keep effective control in the hands of the employees.  1, fiche 11, Anglais, - trust%20committee
