Abstract: A new, non-wrapping approach to functionalizing nanotubes, such as carbon nanotubes, in organic and inorganic solvents is provided. In accordance with certain embodiments, carbon nanotube surfaces are functionalized in a non-wrapping fashion by functional conjugated polymers that include functional groups. Various embodiments provide polymers-that noncovalently bond with carbon nanotubes in a non-wrapping fashion. For example, various embodiments of polymers are provided that comprise a relatively rigid backbone that is suitable for noncovalently bonding with a carbon nanotube substantially along the nanotube's length, as opposed to about its diameter. In preferred polymers, the major interaction between the polymer backbone and the nanotube surface is parallel  pi -stacking. In certain implementations, the polymers further comprise at least one functional extension from the backbone that are any of various desired functional groups for functionalizing a carbon nanotube. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>A new, non-wrapping approach to functionalizing nanotubes, such as carbon nanotubes, in organic and inorganic solvents is provided.

Abstract: The memory for analysis of binary chains co-operates with an analysis tree for data packets. This comprises several stages (100,107,108) and is established within an associative memory. Following analysis, the resulting chains each have an action (120) attributed as a function of the values of the binary chains.  An associative memory is used for analysis of binary chains situated at given positions in data packets. Intervals are defined for each position, and these includes values of binary chains which are able to appear at these positions. A procedure for configuration of this memory comprises the classification of the positions as a function of the number of intervals, in an order such that the positions having the largest number of intervals are placed last. An analysis tree of data packets is established, which comprises stages (100,107,108) associated with these positions. The resulting chains each have an action (120) attributed as a function of the values of the binary chains read in a data packet. The procedure comprises the transcription of this tree into the memory, and minimizing the size of memory necessary for effecting the analysis of data packets.

Abstract: Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf Verfahren zur Konfiguration eines mobilen
Rundfunkempfängers, der mit einer positionsbestimmenden Einheit verbindbar ist. Weiterhin
bezieht sich die vorliegende Erfindung auf den mobilen Rundfunkempfänger
selbst. Um die Konfiguration des Ländercodes in einem Rundfunkempfänger zu vereinfachen
und unabhängig vom Produktionsprozess zu ermöglichen nutzt die Erfindung die
Positionsdaten eines GPS-Empfänger um dynamisch die Region zu bestimmen, in der
sich das Rundfunkgerät bzw. das Fahrzeug gerade befindet. Sollte sich die erkannte
Region von der im Empfänger eingestellten Region unterscheiden, so kann die neue
Region von dem Rundfunkempfänger erkannt werden indem ein GPS-Empfänger die
aktuellen Positionsdaten des Rundfunkempfängers (oder des Fahrzeuges) zur Verfügung
stellt und basierend auf den Positionsdaten die neue Region ermittelt und als aktualisierte
Standardeinstellung in den Speicher des Rundfunkgerätes übernommen wird.

IPC: H04R25/00

Abstract: A method for frequency transposition in a communication device or a hearing device, respectively, is disclosed by transforming an acoustical signal into an electrical signal (s) and by transforming the electrical signal from time domain into frequency domain to obtain a spectrum (S). A frequency transposition is being applied to the spectrum (S) in order to obtain a transposed spectrum (S'), whereby the frequency transposition is being defined by a nonlinear frequency transposition function. Thereby, it is possible to transpose lower frequencies almost linearly, while higher frequencies are transposed more strongly. As a result thereof, harmonic relationships are not distorted in the lower frequency range, and at the same time, higher frequencies can be moved to a lower frequency range, namely to an audible frequency range of the hearing impaired person. The transposition scheme can be applied to the complete signal spectrum without the need for switching between non-transposition and transposition processing for different parts of the signal. Therefore, no artifacts due to switching are encountered. A higher transmission quality is obtained because more information is taken into account for the transmission.

frequency shift of PZT monolithic cantilever system using a cantilever includes: an
infinitesimal fluid transfer system having an inlet for allowing a reactant to be
injected therethrough and an infinitesimal introduction channel for connecting the
inlet and a reaction chamber; and a cantilever sensor installed in the reaction
chamber and having a cantilever with one end fixed at a substrate, a piezoelectric
capacitor for self-sensing and actuating on at least one side of an upper surface
and a lower surface of the cantilever including a piezoelectric film, a lower

cantilever using monolithic PZT cantilever without using an additional external
actuator, so that the size of the cantilever sensor can be considerably reduced and
coupled to a fine fluid transfer system to measure a very small amount of

Abstract: Conveyors, chutes, skids, guides, and ways for the transporting of material are
formed of a conductive loaded resin-based material such that fragments of these
structures can be detected by a metal detector. The conductive loaded resin-based
material comprises micron conductive powder(s), conductive fiber(s), or a
combination of conductive powder and conductive fibers in a base resin host. The
ratio of the weight of the conductive powder(s), conductive fiber(s), or a
combination of conductive powder and conductive fibers to the weight of the base
resin host is between about 0.20 and 0.40. The micron conductive powders are
formed from non-metals, such as carbon, graphite, that may also be metallic
plated, or the like, or from metals such as stainless steel, nickel, copper, silver,
that may also be metallic plated, or the like, or from a combination of non-metal,
plated, or in combination with, metal powders. The micron conductor fibers
preferably are of nickel plated carbon fiber, stainless steel fiber, copper fiber,
silver fiber, or the like. The conductive loaded resin-based structures can be
formed using methods such as injection molding compression molding or
extrusion. The conductive loaded resin-based material used to form structures

Abstract: An information recording medium (50) includes at least a recording
layer (5) formed on a substrate (1), the recording layer (5) including a
phase change layer (4) in which a reversible phase change is caused
between a crystalline state and an amorphous state by irradiation of a
light beam (27), and a crystallization-ability improving layer (3) for
improving a crystallization ability of the phase change layer. The
crystallization-ability improving layer (3) is formed of a halogenide
and before the phase change layer (4) is formed. Thus, crystal nucleus
generation and crystal growth are caused during formation of the phase
change layer (4), so that at least a portion of the phase change layer
(4) is in the crystalline phase after the formation. Thus, information
signals can be recorded/reproduced at a high density and a high linear
velocity, and thus the present invention provides a highly reliable
optical information recording medium. Further, the present invention
provides an information recording medium that allows a recording
operation to be performed on the recording layer in the as-depo
amorphous state without the initialization process.

IPC: G09F3/04
Filed: 2005-04-12
Abstract: A new concept of illumination of the electromagnetic display panels is described using invisible UV light illumination (11, 16) of the display panel to extend the operation of said display panels into low ambient light conditions. Such a solution is possible, if one uses UV fluorescent dyes in the paints or plastic material for the reflective surface (13p) of the selected pixel element instead of the regular reflective ones. The said dyes absorb the invisible near-UV light and upon absorbing it reemit the light in the visible range. The described display panel illumination concept results in excellent contrast, as there is no visible light scattering from the background or protective display panel top covers, which in turn result in haze and glare. Furthermore unlike with the electromagnetic display panels, using built-in light sources imbedded in each pixel element (i.e.: LED,...), the appearance / perception of the displayed characters (shape, geometry) as well as the angular visibility remain unchanged in the high as well as in the low or "dark" ambient light conditions.
