Nanostructure formation in bulk thermoelectric compounds in the pseudo binary PbTe-Sb2Te3 system
Authors: Ikeda Teruyuki , Synder Jeffery 
Published: August 2010

AbstractStudies on microstructures in thermoelectric compounds in the pseudobinary PbTe-Sb2Te3 system are overviewed and strategies to control the microstructure of thermoelectric compounds are discussed on the basis of the phase diagram and phase transformation theories. The morophology of solidification from the melt results in dendrite or lamellar structure depending on composition. The size-scales of the microstructures obtained by solidification can be controlled from the order of micrometers to tens of micrometers by controlling cooling rates (dendrites) or solidification velocity (lamellae). Lamellar and Widmansttäten structures are obtained by eutectoid (Pb2Sb6Te11 → PbTe + Sb2Te3) and precipitation (PbTe (Sb2Te3) → PbTe + Sb2Te3) reactions, respectively. These solid-state transformations show features with nanometer size-scales. For the eutectoid reaction the size-scale depends on annealing temperature and time. For precipitation, the size-scale depends on composition as well as cooling rate or annealing temperature. Such behavior can be understood in terms of phase transformation theories.

Ti-H and Ni-H interactions in Si: first principles theory
Authors: Estreicher Stefan K , Backlund Daniel J 
Published: August 2010

AbstractHydrogen is commonly used to remove (or at least reduce) the electrical activity of numerous defects and impurities in Si. Although hydrogenation works quite well for many defects, it has generally been unsuccessful with transition metal (TM) impurities. A number of {TM,Hn} complexes have been detected using optical or electrical techniques. Even though the gap levels of the isolated TM shift upon hydrogenation, many {TM,Hn} complexes remain electrically active. The nature of the complexes responsible for specific DLTS lines is generally not known, and the number of H interstitials in a given complex is assumed. We have performed systematic first-principles calculations involving Ti-H and Ni-H interactions in Si, assuming both interstitial and substitutional sites for the TM. The equilibrium configurations, binding energies, and approximate gap levels of all the {Ti,Hn} and {Ni,Hn} complexes are calculated.
Enhancing cell culture in magnetic vesicle gels
Authors: Leng Felicity , Gough Julie E , Webb Simon J 
Published: August 2010

AbstractSeveral different hydrogel compositions have been incorporated into magnetic vesicle gels and the resulting “smart” biomaterials assessed as cell culture scaffolds. The compatibility of these hydrogels with the “smart” component of these biomaterials, thermally sensitive vesicles (TSVs) crosslinked by magnetic nanoparticles, was assessed by the leakage of fluorescent 5/6-carboxyfluorescein from the TSVs under cell culture conditions. Subsequently the ability of the hydrogels to support 3T3 fibroblast and chondrocyte viability was assessed. These studies revealed that alginate-based gels were the most compatible with both the TSVs and the cultured cells, with an alginate:fibronectin mix proving to be the most versatile. Nonetheless these studies also suggest that TSV composition needs to be modified to improve the performance of these “smart” cell culture scaffolds in future applications.
The Relationship between Growth Speed and Ambient Humidity in Convective Self-assembly
Authors: Robinson Hans D. , Chen Kai , Stoianov Stefan V. 
Published: August 2010

AbstractWe present a variation of a standard convective self-assembly technique, where the drying meniscus is restricted by a straight-edge located approximately 100 μm above the substrate adjacent to the drying zone. We find this technique to yield films at roughly twice the growth rate compared to the standard technique. We attribute this to differing local evaporation rates in the two cases. We also investigate how the crystal growth rate depends on ambient relative humidity and find a clear linear dependency, which we attribute to the length of the drying zone being constant over a wide range of humidities.
The Effect of Type 1 Diabetes on the Structure and Function of Fibrillin Microfibrils
Authors: Akhtar Riaz , Cruickshank J Kennedy , Gardiner Natalie J , Derby Brian , Sherratt Michael J 
Published: August 2010

AbstractIn Type 1 and 2 diabetes tissue stiffening is evident from measurements of the gross mechanical properties of the vasculature. Elastic fibers play an important role in the mechanical function of vascular tissue, however, the effects of diabetes on individual elastic fiber components remains poorly defined. Fibrillin microfibrils, a key elastic fiber component, have a ‘beads-on-a-string’ structure with a periodicity of approximately 56 nm. We tested for possible disruption due to diabetes in fibrillin microfibrils isolated from rat aorta using an experimental model of Type 1 diabetes in rats. The isolated fibrillin microfibrils were imaged with atomic force microscopy (AFM) and image analysis techniques were used to characterise the microfibrils. Although there was no significant difference in mean microfibril length (control 23.2 repeats, SEM 6.2 repeats: diabetic 23.6 repeats, SEM 6.1 repeats: Mann Whitney U-test, p=0.391), mean periodicity was significantly reduced in microfibrils isolated from the diabetic rats (52.7 nm, SEM 0.4 nm) compared with age-matched controls (59.5 nm, SEM 0.4 nm) (p<0.001, Student's t-test). This study shows that diabetes leads to significant ultrastructural morphological changes in fibrillin microfibrils.
The Scissors Model of Microcrack Detection in Bone: Work in Progress
Authors: Taylor David , Mulcahy Lauren , Presbitero Gerardo , Tisbo Pietro , Dooley Clodagh , Duffy Garry , Lee Thomas Clive 
Published: August 2010

AbstractWe have proposed a new model for microcrack detection by osteocytes in bone. According to this model, cell signalling is initiated by the cutting of cellular processes which span the crack. We show that shear displacements of the crack faces are needed to rupture these processes, in an action similar to that of a pair of scissors. Current work involves a combination of cell biology experiments, theoretical and experimental fracture mechanics and system modelling using control theory approaches. The approach will be useful for understanding effects of extreme loading, aging, disease states and drug treatments on bone damage and repair; the present paper presents recent results from experiments and simulations as part of current, ongoing research.

Image preference was highly correlated to lightness contrast, and there is a preferable range in the degree of chroma enhancement.
67.5: Image Detail and Color Enhancement Based on Channel‐Wise Local Gamma Adjustment
Authors: Tseng Chen‐Yu , Wang Sheng‐Jyh , Lai Yueh‐Yi , Zhou Yi‐Cai 
Published: August 2010

AbstractThis paper proposes a novel local gamma adjustment algorithm to virtually expand the dynamic range of displayed images. Image details are automatically enhanced based on the estimation of local image details in the original image. By individually adjusting the local gamma value over the R, G, and B color channels, image colorfulness can also be enhanced. The proposed algorithm requires low computational complexity and may provide enhancement results comparable to, or even better than, manually adjusted images.

AbstractA cover glass that is capable of having a deep ion exchange compression layer enables one to tailor the glass to the intended device application. Key to this effort is having a glass mechanics framework that includes resistance to visible and strength‐limiting contact damage as well as maintaining sufficient strength to survive localized glass flexing during contact events.

Published: August 2010

AbstractThe effects of active thickness on the characteristics of oxide TFTs were investigated for the case of ZnO TFT and IGZO TFT. As the decrease of active thickness, the Von (Turn‐on Voltage of TFT) was shifted to near zero Volt and negative shift of Von as decrease of channel length was also diminished. The overall performance (including subthreshold swing and leakage currents) was improved with thinner active layer. This behavior could be explained under the consideration of unintentional n‐type doping in active layer. But, for the constant‐current stress, thinner active layer TFT showed less stable behavior.
11.1: An Auto‐Stereoscopic 3D Display Using Tunable Liquid Crystal Lens Array That Mimics Effects of GRIN Lenticular Lens Array
Authors: Kao Yung‐Yuan , Huang Yan‐Pean , Yang Kai‐Xian , Chao Paul C.‐P. , Tsai Chi‐Chung , Mo Chi‐Neng 
Published: August 2010

AbstractA tunable liquid crystal lenticular lens array is proposed to compose an auto‐stereoscopic 3D display. The focusing can be achieved based on non‐uniform phase retardation across the width of the LC lenticular lens, mimicking the effects of gradient index (GRIN) lens. The viewing distance and zones of this display can be adjusted in an on‐line fashion to track the viewer position relative to the display. The proposed scheme can present the lenticular lens and the LC GRIN lens simultaneously, so that the simulation results can express the low value of crosstalk of 9% by the lenticular lens array and the LC GRIN lens array.

P‐39: pLVDS: A New Intra‐Panel Interface for the Future Flat‐Panel Displays with Higher Resolution and Larger Size
Authors: Koh Hwasu 
Published: August 2010

AbstractIn this paper, we will present the pLVDS, the newly developed intra‐panel interface standard for the future flat‐panel displays which have higher resolution, more natural image and larger size panel. These panels require much higher data rate with good signal integrity and lower EMI level. To satisfy those requirements, differential point‐to‐point data signal line and differential multi‐drop bus clock signal line architecture with low frequency are chosen. The new signaling protocol was proposed for the efficient data transfer, that is, much lower data rate for the same panel performance. Pre‐emphasis on the Tx driver is adopted for the robust data recovery at the Column Drivers by compensating the frequency dependent channel loss on the large size panel.

Published: August 2010

AbstractIncreasing the light extraction and the current spreading area of GaN LEDs is helpful for enhancing the efficiency of the light emission. We have developed a simple deposited method of Indium oxide (InxOy) on the top layer of GaN LEDs by using furnaces at the low temperature (550°C). The deposited Film of Indium oxide on GaN LEDs is crystallites. The electroluminescent intensity of GaN LEDs with Indium oxide is higher than GaN LEDs without Indium oxide about six times.

Authors: Kwon Sang‐Koo , Kim Jeong‐Ho , Moon Seung‐Kyu , Choi Jong‐Kwon , Jang Young‐Il , Park Kyu‐Ho , Han Sung‐Su 
Published: August 2010

AbstractReconstruction and exaggerated grain growth (EGG) behaviors of redeposited MgO layer were observed and analyzed theoretically with the addition of dopant and MgO seed particle. The reconstruction and EGG are closely correlated with the driving force for nucleation and growth, interface energy and initial size distribution of MgO protective layer and this is believed to be caused by the formation of charged clusters in the plasma spaces during discharge in AC‐PDPs.

31.1: Invited Paper: World's First 240Hz TFT‐LCD Technology for Full‐HD LCD‐TV and Its Application to 3D Display
Authors: Kim Sang Soo , You Bong Hyun , Choi Heejin , Berkeley Brian H. , Kim Dong Gyu , Kim Nam Deog 
Published: August 2010

AbstractA full‐HD (FHD) liquid crystal display TV (LCD‐TV) has been enhanced by increasing the panel's frame rate to 240Hz, and this 240Hz driving technology has been applied to 3D TV. Compared to a 120Hz LCD, the 240Hz LCD has two challenges: 1) half of the available pixel charging time, and 2) three times as many interpolated frames. A new architecture has doubled the available pixel charging time by means of a half‐gate two‐data (hG‐2D) driving scheme and a charge‐shared super PVA (CS S‐PVA) pixel structure. Additionally, a 240Hz ME/MC algorithm has been implemented on the LCD module to convert 60Hz incoming frames into 240Hz frames. Motion picture response time (MPRT) of the new LCD‐TV has been measured as 4.7msec, which is similar to the MPRT for a cathode ray tube (CRT) TV.

Published: August 2010

AbstractTextured surfaces are widely used for anti‐glare surfaces. Modern high resolution displays are placing higher demands on these layers. Developing techniques to quantify the subjective appearance of speckle caused by overlays is crucial to developing the next generation of overlays. We report on the use of a simple optical bench to measure speckle contrast and the comparison of these measurements to subjective scores for sparkle. We show that for a set of specially prepared acid etched samples there is a direct correlation between speckle contrast and subjective sparkle.

AbstractA new embedded touch screen panel (TSP) incorporated with liquid crystal capacitive (LCC) sensors and a‐Si:H TFT amplifiers has been developed. The size of sensor pixels and capacitance values have been optimized for improved sensitivity. The readout current from a sensor pixel is converted to readout voltage data, and a digital calibration process is conducted. A sensing voltage larger than 1V is obtained with 50gf finger touch, and a highly sensitive multi‐finger touch operation has been demonstrated with aproto‐type 16 inch qHD panel.
