Title: Novel donor-acceptor fluorene scaffolds: a process and uses thereof
Inventor: GOEL ATUL
IPC: H01L51/46
Filed: 2009-03-31
Abstract: The present invention relates to novel donor-acceptor fluorene compounds, which can be used as for the fabrica-tion of electroluminescent devices, and a process of preparing said novel compounds. More particularly, the present invention re-lates to amine donor and nitrile/ester acceptor fluorenes, fluorenones their .pi.-conjugated systems and related compounds, processes for preparing the said compounds including oxidation of fluorenes to corresponding fluorenones and their use in preparing organ-ic electronic devices such as organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), photovoltaic/solar cell, Field effect transistors and other use-ful electroluminescent devices. The compounds are prepared by reacting 2H-pyran- 2-ones in isolated or rigid conformations with cyclic ketones containing methylene carbonyl moiety in the presence of a base in- an organic solvent.The present invention also relates to a new concept and approach to overcome the problem of 'Green emission defect' in 9- unsubstituted fluorene-based or-ganic light emitting diodes which occurrs due to the conversion of fluorenes to fluorenones that show emission mainly in green--yellow region. In the present invention we have placed donor-acceptor substituents in such a way that donor- acceptor fluorenones show emission in the blue region (instead of green-yellow region) thus improving the blue colour purity and overcoming the prob-lem of green emission defect.

Title: Thermal energy management for production installations
Inventor: RAUCH THOMAS
IPC: F24D19/10
Filed: 2009-04-15
Abstract: The invention concerns thermal energy management for production installations and is directed in particular to a storage tank (3) for storing a fluid heated in relation to the ambient temperature, the storage tank having a heat-insulated wall (9) and at least one discharge (15) and one feed (10). The object of the invention is to provide, with a relatively low level of compli-cation and expenditure, a storage tank which with a high level of efficiency stores the amounts of heat occurring at various process stations in an installation, and which if required delivers them again. That object is attained in that the discharges (15) and the feeds (10) are arranged at different height levels of the storage tank (3) and associated with the storage tank (3) is a control device (8) which passes a fluid flow at higher temperature through a discharge (15) or feed (10) at a higher height level and a fluid flow at a lower temperature through a discharge (15) or feed (10) at a lower height level. Alternatively the feeds and discharges can be displaceable in respect of height. In that case one feed and one discharge can be sufficient.

Abstract: One form of the invention provides a method and apparatus for preventing an extraordinary electromagnetic pulse from reaching and rendering inoperative an electrical component of an electrical power system, wherein the component is located in a conductive path of the system that receives the pulse. The method and apparatus comprises the steps or means for detecting the presence of the pulse in the conductive path prior to the pulse reaching and rendering inoperative the electrical component. The pulse is diverted around the electrical component with a low inductance, high current capacity circuit relative to the electrical component before the pulse can reach and render the electrical component inoperative. The foregoing invention may beneficially utilize a high-speed current shunt comprising a flat conductive metal strap having a defined current-measuring region, a tapered parallel-plate transmission-line matching transformer attached to the current-measuring region and an output via a coaxial cable.
