Title: Controlling overspray coating in stacked semiconductor device bars
Inventor: FRATTI ROGER A
IPC: H01S5/028
Filed: 2006-09-07
Abstract: Two device bars are bonded prior to facet coating to form a stacked bar pair 200'. Each device bar has a p-side and an n-side having a plurality of bonding pads 424, with at least some bonding pads 424 located at the p-side of the first device bar adapted for mating with corresponding bonding pads located at the p-side of the second device bar. Solder material deposited onto the p-side bonding pads is liquefied in a reflow oven. Surface tension of the liquefied solder self-aligns the device bars and maintains the alignment until the solder is solidified. More bonded bar pairs 200' are stacked such that bonding pads 424 located at the n-sides of adjacent bar pairs are mated in a tight fit. The exposed facets 208a, 208b in the resulting stack are then spray coated with one or more reflective materials. The solder bonds 424 between the p-side bonding pads and the tight fit between the n-side bonding pads 424 prevent overspray coating.

Title: Synchronising OFDM Symbols by auto-correlating cyclic prefix then cross correlating scattered pilots in the time domain
Inventor: LIU ZHAOHUI
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2007-03-30
Abstract: The invention synchronises the Symbol Timing in OFDM Systems using scattered pilots. Coarse symbol timing is achieved by autocorrelating <B>2</B> with a cyclic prefix and detecting a correlation peak <B>3</B>. At the same time, a frequency offset can be estimated <B>4</B>. Received samples are frequency offset compensated <B>5</B>, and a symbol index is determined <B>6</B> which allows a pattern of transmitted pilots to be identified. These frequency domain pilot sub-carrier symbols are then transformed to the time domain via an IFFT (Inverse Fast Fourier Transform) <B>7</B>. Given a search window around the coarse timing point, the frequency compensated samples are cross correlated with the time domain pilot sub-carriers waveform <B>8</B> to generate an estimate of the channel impulse response (CIR). Then the absolute value of the correlation is accumulated within a sliding window <B>9</B> and the position of the maximum <B>10</B> is regarded as the optimum timing point.

Title: Heat insulated container
Inventor: FUJII TAKAFUMI
IPC: B65D81/38
Filed: 2007-05-04
Abstract: It is intended to avoid any cracking of radiant heat preventing film that would occur at an opening area. There is provided heat insulated container (10) produced by coating the external surface of glass internal container (12) with radiant heat preventing film (24), disposing the internal container (12) inside external container (16) with empty space (14) interposed therebetween, heating an opening area so as to melt the same to thereby unite the internal container (12) with the external container (16), and evacuating the empty space (14) to vacuum, characterized in that region (26) not coated with the radiant heat preventing film (24) is created on the above-mentioned external surface in the vicinity of the opening area. In this heat insulated container, cracking of the radiant heat preventing film (24) would not occur at the heating of the opening area (18) so as to melt the same. Accordingly, even if the vicinity of the opening area (18) is deformed at the time of uniting, there would occur no intrusion of the radiant heat preventing film (24) in the glass interior; there would occur no cracking; and there would occur no oozing of glass from cracked portion leading to formation of protrusions. Therefore, breakage of the heat insulated container attributed to stress concentration on the vicinity of the opening area would be radically reduced, and defective fraction would be lowered, thereby enabling reduction of production cost. Further, any whitening phenomenon would be prevented, thereby avoiding any deterioration of appearance.

Abstract: Conducting polymers based on renewable resource materials are very attractive because of their wide availability and lower cost compared to petroleum based products. Here we developed a novel dopant for electrically conducting polyaniline from renewable resource cardanol, the main component of cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL). The novel dopant 2-  l  -unsaturated-4-hydroxy-4'-sulfinic acid azo benzene or otherwise known as cardanol azo sulfonic acid (1) is synthesized by reaction of diazotized sulphanilic acid (4- aminophenylsulfonicacid) with cardanol under the basic condition. The new cardanol azo sulfonic acid (1) has a long alkyl chains at the 2 positions, which increases the solubility of the dopant as well as polyaniline doped materials in common solvents for many applications. The present invention essentially comprises of three steps; (a) synthesis of cardanol azo sulfonic acid dopant 1 from cardanol (b) synthesis of electrically conducting polyaniline using 1 as dopant both doping the polyaniline emeraldine base in solution and melt and in- situ polymerization of aniline in presence of 1 in various organic and aqueous combination in the interfacial, emulsion and dispersion routes (c) preparation of polyaniline / dopant 1 / thermoplastics blends in solution and melt process and controlling the particle size while maintaining the good morphology. The dopant (1) consisting polyaniline emeraldine salt and its thermoplastic blends are potential materials for various applications in opto-electronic industry.

Title: Electroluminescent device fabrication with ligand removal after quantum dot electroluminescent layer coating
Inventor: IIZUMI YASUHIRO
IPC: H01L51/50
Filed: 2008-09-23
Abstract: An electroluminescent device is fabricated on a substrate (1) by forming a first electrode layer (2) on the substrate (1), and forming a luminescent layer (3) on the first electrode layer (2) by applying a luminescent-layer-forming coating liquid containing quantum dots (22), each quantum dot (22) being surrounded by organic ligands (21). After the luminescent-layer-forming step, a step of removing the organic ligands (21) is performed. This can be done by subjecting the luminescent layer (3) to UV-ozone cleaning. The UV-ozone cleaning is performed by irradiating Ozone with ultraviolet light to obtain reactive oxygen that can remove many types of organic ligands. After the organic-ligand-removing step, the step of forming a second electrode layer (4) on the luminescent layer (3) in which the organic ligands (21) have been removed from the quantumdots (22) is performed. Other methods of removing organic ligands are also described. The organic ligands can also be removed by subjecting the luminescent layer to plasma irradiation or by forming a photo-catalytic treatment layer containing a photo-catalyst over the luminescent layer and applying energy to the photocatalytic treatment layer.
