IPC: B65D85/68
Filed: 2014-01-28
Abstract: Packaging 3 for protecting a vehicle registration plate 1 during mailing incorporates a template 5, 7 for installation of the registration plate onto a vehicle body. The template has a shape or marking to fit and align visually with a feature of the vehicle body, and with the registration plate, so as to locate the registration plate accurately relative to the vehicle body during the installation. The template can be provided as a shape cut into a sheet of cardboard packaging for the user to pop out and use for the installation. Incorporating the template into packaging provides a reduction in material and reduced cost and fewer manufacturing steps. A self-design service for a user to design a registration plate involves providing a design for the template based on vehicle shape information and registration plate design.

Title: Detector remodulator
Inventor: JONES HAYDN FREDERICK
IPC: H04B10/29
Filed: 2014-02-24
Abstract: The invention concerns a detector remodulator implemented on a silicon on insulator (SOI) waveguide platform. The detector remodulator is preferably used for performing wavelength conversion of optical signals. An input optical signal with a first wavelength is received on a first input waveguide 5. An optical source (e.g. a laser) 8 outputs light at a second wavelength into a second input waveguide 9. A modulator 3 driven by an electrical signal from the photodetector modulates light received on the second input waveguide to produce a modulated optical signal at the second wavelength on an output waveguide 6. An electrical circuit 4 connects the detector to the modulator. The photodetector, modulator, second input waveguide and output waveguide are arranged within the same horizontal plane as one another. The modulator includes a modulation waveguide region (28, Fig. 2) at which a semiconductor junction (27a, 27b, 27c, Fig. 2) is set horizontally across the waveguide. The modulator may be an electro-absorption modulator (EAM), a Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM), a Fabry-Perot resonator or a ring resonator.

Title: Generating a search expression
Inventor: TONY RUSSELL-ROSE
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2014-11-28
Abstract: A method for generating search expressions in a modular manner comprises generating a search expression by linking two or more first search terms 201a, 201b by a first operator (e.g. AND, OR, or NEAR), to generate a first search element entity (211a, Fig. 2B), and linking the first search element entity to one or more second search terms by a second operator, to generate an aggregate entity. The search expression can be generated based on the search terms and operators included in the aggregate entity. In some embodiments, the search expression is dynamically updated and resubmitted whenever the search expression is amended by new user input. Embodiments of the present invention enable a user to construct a search expression in a simple and robust manner, by rearranging search terms within a canvas area in a GUI. In the present example, a GUI screen includes a canvas area 200, within which a plurality of search terms 201a, 201b, 201c, 201d, 201e, 201f, 201g, 201h, 201i, 201j are displayed. The search terms are draggable, i.e. moveable around the canvas area 200 in at least two dimensions in response to user input.

Title: Systems and methods for bidirectional device fabrication
Inventor: BLANCHARD RICHARD A
IPC: H01L29/732
Filed: 2014-12-10
Abstract: Methods and systems for double-sided semiconductor device fabrication. Devices having multiple leads on each surface can be fabricated using a high-temperature-resistant handle wafer and a medium-temperature-resistant handle wafer. Dopants can be introduced on both sides shortly before a single long high-temperature diffusion step diffuses all dopants to approximately equal depths on both sides. All high-temperature processing occurs with no handle wafer or with a high-temperature handle wafer attached. Once a medium-temperature handle wafer is attached, no high-temperature processing steps occur. High temperatures can be considered to be those which can result in damage to the device in the presence of aluminum-based metallizations.
