Title: Light harvesting antenna for organic solar cells
Inventor: YANG XIUJUAN
IPC: H01L31/055
Filed: 2007-06-05
Abstract: An antenna layer is provided separate from an active layer in a solar cell device based on organic materials, enabling improved energy conversion in the solar cell devices by increasing the efficiency and spectral cross-section for the capture of incident light. The antenna layer may be anthracene or an anthracene derivative, for example. The antenna layer is operable to harvest light and transfer captured excitation energy to the active layer of the solar cell device using an energy transfer mechanism, wherein the charge separation and/or the formation of free carriers takes place. The antenna layer also limits the ultraviolet exposure of the active layer thus extending the operating life of the solar cell. The active layer and the antenna layer of a solar cell device may be independently optimized such that there is an increased spectral range and/or cross-section of light absorption and thus a higher photovoltaic efficiency.

Abstract: A method of encoding an input speech signal using a multi-rate encoder having a plurality of encoding rates is disclosed. A high-pass filter and then a perceptual weighting filter are applied to such signal to generate a first target signal. An adaptive codebook vector is identified from an adaptive codebook using the first target signal by filtering the vector to generate a filtered adaptive codebook vector. An adaptive codebook gain for the adaptive codebook vector is calculated and an error signal minimized. The adaptive codebook gain is adaptively reduced based on one encoding rate from the plurality of encoding rates to generate a reduced adaptive codebook gain. A second target signal based at least on the first target signal and the reduced adaptive codebook gain is generated. The input speech signal is converted into an encoded speech based on the second target signal.

Title: Method for improving drilling depth measurements
Inventor: HUTCHINSON MARK W
IPC: E21B47/04
Filed: 2003-04-03
Abstract: A method for determining a depth of a wellbore is disclosed. The method includes determining change in a suspended weight of a drill string from a first time to a second time. A change in axial position of the upper portion of the drill string between the first time and the second time is determined. An expected amount of drill string compression related to the change in suspended weight is corrected for movement of a lower portion of the drill string between the first time and the second time. A position of the lower portion of the drill string is calculated from the change in axial position and the corrected amount of drill string compression. In one embodiment, the correcting includes estimating drill bit movement by determining an axial motion of the drill string at the earth's surface between two times having a same suspended weight of the drill string.

Filed: 2006-03-21
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for producing nitrogen fertilizer, removing phosphate from organic waste products in liquid phase, sanitizing said waste or reducing emissions, and limiting the potassium concentration. According to the invention, the waste product is heated to temperatures ranging between 40 ~C and 90 ~C at a subatmospheric pressure, the escaping gas that contains carbon dioxide and ammonia is contacted with a mineral-aqueous suspension, the excess gas is conducted within the circuit while the subatmospheric pressure is autogenously stabilized, and the formed nitrogen fertilizer is discharged. In order to additionally produce phosphate fertilizer and limit the potassium concentration, the obtained fertilizer product is divided into the liquid and solid portion, and all or some of the solid portion is redirected into the stripping receptacle while the liquid waste product that is stripped of nitrogen compounds and phosphorus compounds is cooled and mixed with at least one sulfate-containing compound to limit the potassium concentration. Optionally, the viscosity of the waste product is specifically reduced and a very small amount of a basic mineral powder is added thereto. The last solid portion obtained from said treatment can be used directly as phosphate fertilizer, potassium fertilizer, or phosphate-containing and potassium-containing mixed fertilizer.
