Patent CA-2319550-A1 (CA)
Title: Image sensors made from organic semiconductors
Inventor: YU GANG
IPC: H01L27/00
Filed: 1999-02-02
Abstract: Image sensors with monochromatic or multi-color response made from organic semiconductors are disclosed. The image sensors are comprised of image sensing elements (pixels) each of which comprises a thin layer (or multiple layers) of organic semiconductor(s) sandwiched between conductive electrodes. These image sensors can be integrated or hybridized with electronic or optical devices on the same substrate or on different substrates. The electrical output signals from the image sensors resulting from the input image are probed by a circuit connected to the electrodes. The spectral response of the image sensing elements can be modified and adjusted to desired spectral profiles through material selection, through device thickness adjustment and/or through optical filtering. Several approaches for achieving red, green, and blue full-color detection are disclosed. Similar approaches can be used for multiple-band detection (wavelength multiplexing) in desired response profiles and in other selected spectral ranges.

Title: System and method for management of correspondence
Inventor: BROOKNER GEORGE
IPC: G07B17/00
Filed: 1999-03-18
Abstract: In the system of the invention, a user provides inputs at a user interface (51). The user's inputs relate to the expected type of delivery (2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Alternatively, the system may already have information stored as to the type of delivery (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) to be used with particular correspondents. Based on the type of delivery (2, 3, 4, 5, 6), the system (50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55) determines for each item of correspondence, whether the delivery will be by physical delivery of a printed document (2, 3, 4), by fax (5) or by e-mail (6). The system (50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55) further determines for each item of correspondence, which is to be delivered by physical delivery a printed document (2, 3, 4), whether an envelope (10, 11) is required and if the address information is to be printed on the envelope or on a label (12) that is to be applied to the envelope. Further in the case of an item of correspondence, which is to be delivered by physical delivery a postage indicia is printed on the envelope or on a label (12) that is to be applied to the envelope. If the system (50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55) determines for an item of correspondence that the delivery will be by fax (5), then the correspondence is sent using fax (55). If the system (50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55) determines for an item of correspondence that the delivery will be by e-mail (6), then the correspondence is sent using SMTP server (54).
