Title: Conductive polymer electrodes
Inventor: STONE NICHOLAS J
IPC: H01L33/00
Filed: 2006-04-11
Abstract: In a method of forming organic semiconductor devices such as an LED, solar cell, electrochromic display, sensor or a transistor, a conductive polymer is deposited onto a substrate to form electrodes or conductive tracks and an electrical material such as an organic semiconductor is applied over the tracks. The conductive polymer 7 is printed, for example using flexographic printing, onto a conductive layer 6 such as aluminium carried on a substrate 5. The printed polymer is used as a resist during a process in which parts of the conductive layer 6 not protected by the polymer are removed. The resulting device benefits from good electron injection of the conductive polymer layer 7 into the semiconductor, and efficient conduction owing to the underlying conductive layer 6, which has better conduction than the conductive polymer layer.

Title: Disambiguating text input using probability
Inventor: RE S BASTIEN RACANI
IPC: G06F3/023
Filed: 2006-11-08
Abstract: A mobile communications device such as a mobile telephone comprises input means for disambiguating text formed from input characters, by determining a word or expression partially or wholly matching the text input and determining the word or expression with the highest probability of matching the text input. Determination of the probability is achieved by a language modelling technique e.g. Prediction by Partial Matching (PPM), or the context of the text input and/or a training text. In this way the text input can be disambiguated more accurately with regard to the context of the instant text input, as well as past and present text input, rather than just the frequency of occurrence of a word or expression in general language. In a modification, the input means may also take account of the situation (e.g. work/leisure, time of day), device profile or a message recipient in determining the probability of a match.
