Abstract: The present invention discloses an electronic device comprising a generator for generating a stream (125) of charge carriers. The generator comprises a bipolar transistor (100) having an emitter region (120), a collector region (160) and a base region (140) oriented between the emitter region (120) and the collector region (160), and a controller for controlling exposure of the bipolar transistor (100) to a voltage in excess of its open base breakdown voltage (BVCEO) such that the emitter region (120) generates the stream (125) of charge carriers from a first area being smaller than the emitter region surface area. The electronic device may further comprise a material (410) arranged to receive the stream of charge carriers for triggering a change in a property of said material, the emitter region (120) being arranged between the base region (140) and the material (410). In operation, the bipolar transistor (100) is subjected to a voltage in excess of its open base breakdown voltage (BVCEO) such that the emitter region (120) generates the electron stream of charge carriers, e.g. electrons, from a first area being smaller than the emitter region surface area. Consequently, an electron stream having sub-lithographic dimensions is utilized without requiring complex lithographic processing steps. The invention is particularly suitable for use in phase-change memories.

The multilayer adhesive product (1) comprises a carrier (2), an incompletely applied adhesion-controlled functional layer (3), completely applied first and second coloring layers (4, 5), and an adhesive mass layer (6). The functional layer is applied in the form of punctiform areas in a point-wise manner. The punctiform areas have a vertex in a replacement direction and are circularly, elliptically and/or polygonally formed. The distance between the adjacent punctiform areas is larger than the diameter of the punctiform areas. The size of the punctiform areas is maximum 2 mm. The functional layer is formed as a pattern, a release layer and a primer layer. The punctiform areas of the functional layer-point group form an element of the pattern. The punctiform areas differ themselves, so that an optical effect is visible between the punctiform areas after tampering the adhesive article. The optical effect is formed by different optical characteristics of the punctiform areas, where the characteristics are different colors, different fluorescences, different reflections and/or different transmissions. The functional layer is directly applied on the lower side of the carrier. The coloring layer is applied on the functional layer and a free thermoplastic film surface. The adhesive mass layer is applied on the coloring layer. The second coloring layer is arranged between the first coloring layer and the adhesive mass layer. The carrier has a printing on its upper side. The adhesive mass layer is covered with a separating material and is formed as a contact adhesive layer. The product is rolled up to a roller and the back side of the carrier is provided with a separation layer.

Abstract: According to the invention there is provided a tertiary effluent treatment process for reducing the phosphate levels in effluent. The process comprises the steps of delivering effluent from a wastewater treatment plant to a primary filter, delivering the filtered effluent to a series of two or more phosphate removal filters, delivering the filtered phosphate-depleted effluent to a treated water tank as treated water, delivering the filtered phosphate-depleted effluent from the treated water tank to a discharge tank as treated water; and, discharging the treated water from the discharge tank as required. Each phosphate removal filter comprises a plurality of polymer-based beads having nano-particles of iron oxide coated thereon. The advantage of using a series of two or more phosphate removal filters is that the process can deliver a final effluent containing specific pre-determined levels of phosphate that may be as low as 0.01 mg/L of effluent, but will in all cases be below 1 mg/L. The series of two or more filters also allow the process to accommodate variations in the phosphate content of the effluent without affecting the level of phosphate in the discharge, and, the system can be retro-fit to the end of any type of existing waste water treatment plant or can be integrated into a new facility.
