Patent GB-2469969-A (GB)
Title: Solvent for a printing composition
Inventor: GODDARD SIMON
IPC: H01L51/00
Filed: 2009-02-24
Abstract: A composition suitable for fabricating an electronic device such as an OLED using an ink jet printing technique comprises a conducting or semi-conducting organic material and a solvent, the solvent having a boiling point of greater than 250°C and a viscosity of less than 5 cPs. The composition preferably has a viscosity in the range between 0.1 and 20 cPs, and the solvent preferably has the formula (I): where R represents a C6 to C11 alkyl. The high boiling point of the solvent allows the "ink" to remain wet for a longer time after printing. This provides better process control during drying, resulting in more uniform films and greater control over the film profile. The low viscosity of the solvent enables jetting of the composition at high frequencies.

Title: Using a cap layer in metallization systems of semiconductor devices as a cmp and etch stop layer
Inventor: WERNER THOMAS
IPC: H01L21/321
Filed: 2009-08-28
Abstract: During the manufacturing of advanced metallization systems, a dielectric cap layer formed on a sensitive dielectric material may be partially maintained during a CMP process for removing excess metal, thereby avoiding the necessity for depositing a dedicated etch stop material, as may be required in conventional approaches when substantially completely consuming the dielectric cap material during the CMP process. Hence, reduced process complexity and/or enhanced flexibility may be accomplished in combination with increased integrity of the low-k dielectric material.

Title: Isolation of ions in overloaded RF ion traps
Inventor: KAPLAN DESMOND ALLEN
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 2012-02-20
Abstract: The invention relates to the isolation of ions of a predefined narrow range of charge-related masses m/z inside an RF quadrupole ion trap by removal of all other ions. The invention proposes, as a first roughing step, to apply a short DC voltage pulse of 1 to 5 ms to at least one of the trap electrodes to remove the ions with high values of charge-related masses m/z. This is preferably in combination with a variation of the RF amplitude to remove ions of low charge-related masses m/z at the same time, but without any excitation of ions by frequency mixtures.

Title: Rank considerations when determining a joint precoding matrix for use in a distributed antenna MIMO system
Inventor: KOIVISTO TOMMI T
IPC: H04B7/02
Filed: 2011-09-27
Abstract: The present invention is concerned with transmissions from multiple distributed transmission points to a user terminal. The transmit points and the user terminal each have a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) capability. For example, the present invention could be applied to coordinated multi-point (CoMP) transmissions. The user terminal determines a transmission rank and a precoding matrix for each of at least two transmission points of a plurality of transmission points. A joint transmission rank for a joint transmission involving each of the at least two transmission points is determined. Next, the user terminal selects a joint precoding matrix which provides the joint transmission rank and is based on the precoding matrices of respective transmission points. Furthermore, a sub-matrix of the joint precoding matrix is obtained by applying column permutations to one of the transmission point precoding matrices (see the third equation on page 20). The user terminals transmit channel state information (CSI) including a description of the selected joint precoding matrix.

Title: A protected wireless network access point allowing limited access to an affiliated group of mobile stations
Inventor: PIZZUTILO RICCARDO
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2012-10-17
Abstract: A protected wireless network access point usually allows access to entitled mobile stations only (fig. 3A). In the invention, if the mobile station 115b is not entitled 115, a check is made to determine whether the mobile station is affiliated to an affiliation group of the access point, the affiliation group comprising several access points and mobile stations. If the mobile station is affiliated then access is granted in a limited access mode e.g. access is bandwidth limited. Access to the network is denied if the non-entitled mobile station is not affiliated. The workload of the access point may be monitored and the bandwidth limitation for affiliated mobile stations updated accordingly. Verification of the affiliation may involve checking an encrypted identifier of the mobile station at an affiliation server. A mobile telephone infrastructure provides each mobile station with a set of affiliated access points associated with their position.
