Title: Method and apparatus for the transfer of charged droplets along a path
Inventor: FRANZEN JOCHEN
IPC: H01J49/06
Filed: 2010-07-27
Abstract: The invention relates to guiding charged droplets 2 along a defined path, for example from the spray capillary 1 of an electrospray ion source at atmospheric pressure to the inlet capillary 7 of the vacuum system of an ion mobility or mass spectrometer. This is achieved by providing a focusing pseudopotential distribution generated by applying an audio frequency AC voltage to the electrodes 4 of a guiding device 3. The droplets 2 can be driven along the droplet guide 3 by a gas flow 5, an axial electric field or a combination of both, and can be manipulated in different ways, for example evaporated down to a desired size. The ability to guide the droplets also makes it possible to install a segmented inlet capillary 7, 9 with intermediate pumping, which allows pumping capacity to be saved.

Title: Calculating motion estimation search range vector (SR) based on a vector mean value
Inventor: XU LIDONG
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2010-09-23
Abstract: A method for determining a search window or range in image coding motion estimation (ME) comprises: calculating a mean value (mv) of a set of motion vectors relating to blocks associated with a current block; and calculating a search range vector (SR), based on a multiplication of the mean value by a scalar, plus a constant vector, i.e., SR = (a * mv) + where a is a predetermined constant scalar and P is a predetermined constant vector. The SR bounds or limits a motion search area for motion estimation (ME) for the current block. The constants may have the values a = 1.1 and P = (4, 4). The method may be applied to various forward (predictive), backward and bi-directional reference frame coding methods (Figures 2-4), and to lower level downsampled layers — see Figure 5. Both spatially and temporally neighbouring blocks may determine the search region for encoder or decoder motion estimation, and the search range may be determined at the block level or the picture level.

Title: A rear contact heterojunction intrinsic thin layer silicon solar cell
Inventor: WRIGHT DANIEL NILSEN
IPC: H01L31/0224
Filed: 2012-06-29
Abstract: A rear contact heterojunction intrinsic thin layer silicon solar cell 1 and fabrication method for such solar cell are proposed, For fabricating the solar cell 1 a thin intrinsic amorphous Si layer 7 is deposited over the entire rear surface of a silicon substrate 3. A first semiconductor layer 13 of a first doping polarity is deposited through a mask. Subsequently, a separation layer 19 of electrically insulating malarial such as silicon nitride is deposited through the same mask such that it covers an entire back surface of the first semiconductor layer 13. Then, a second semiconductor layer 21 is deposited over the entire area of the rear surface of the silicon substrate 3. Finally, metal contacts 39, 41 are formed optionally using a dielectric layer 23 and removable or permanent masking layers 29. The proposed method allows for simple fabrication of HIT solar cells requiring only one mask and enabling high solar cell efficiencies due to p- and n-type-regions being very close to one another.
