    摘要: A method and system for updating data on an information appliance based on changes in local and remote data sources. The information appliance contains a set of rules These rules allow it to define links between its existing data and local and remote data sources. Using these links it can automatically gather data from these sources using context sensitive queries that are directly relevant to the current state of the information appliance. These updates can modify any data items within the system. These updates can either directly alter these data items or modify metadata about the data items, such as the set of possible values for the item. They can do this implicitly and immediately, or explicitly after the user reviews a summary of the new data and chooses to add the information using a single action. The links themselves are data items within the system. These links are defined using a structured representation and so can themselves be sent around the network. The application can therefore use the same mechanism to ask for both basis data and link specifications which can be used to gather further data. Embodiments of the invention are described.

    摘要: There is disclosed an improved method of manufacturing an optical device using impurity induced Quantum Well Intermixing (QWI) process. Reported QWI, and particularly Impurity Free Vacancy Diffusional (IFVD) methods, suffer from a number of disadvantages, eg the temperature at which Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) out-diffuses from the semiconductor material to the Silica (SiO2) film. Accordingly, the present invention provides a method of manufacturing an optical device, a device body portion (5a) from which the device is to be made including at least on Quantum Well (QW) (10a), the method including the steps of: causing an impurity material to intermix with the at least one Quantum Well (QW) (10a), wherein the impurity material at least includes Copper (Cu).

    摘要: An ultrasonic transducer for surgical applications is disclosed. The ultrasonic transducer comprises: a back mass; a front mass; an ultrasonic actuator arrangement held between the back mass and the front mass; and an ultrasonic horn arrangement forward of the front mass. The back mass, ultrasonic actuator arrangement, front mass and ultrasonic horn arrangement are arranged along a longitudinal axis of the transducer. Vibrations generated by the ultrasonic actuator arrangement are conducted into the front mass and into the ultrasonic horn arrangement along a vibrational energy transfer path and are amplitude amplified by the ultrasonic horn arrangement. One or more of the back mass, front mass and ultrasonic horn arrangement includes a plurality of openings opening towards the longitudinal axis and intersecting the vibrational energy transfer path and configured to provide an increased mechanical compliance in a direction along the vibrational energy transfer path.

    摘要: The present invention relates primarily to a method of fabrication of one or more free-standing micromachined parts. The method includes performing reactive ion etching of photoresist and tungsten-based layers supported on a carrier substrate to thereby define one or more micromachined parts, followed by separating the resulting one or more micromachined parts from the carrier substrate such that the parts are free-standing. The invention also relates to tungsten-based microprobe obtainable by such a method, wherein the microprobe has a substantially square or rectangular cross-section in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the microprobe, and to probe cards comprising a plurality of such microprobes.

    摘要: A method is disclosed of manufacturing a semiconductor structure comprising an (001) oriented zincblende structure group III-nitride layer, such as GaN. The layer is formed on a 3C-SiC layer on a silicon substrate. A nucleation layer is formed, recrystallized and then the zincblende structure group III-nitride layer is formed by MOVPE at temperature T3 in the range 750-1000° C., to a thickness of at least 0.5μ. There is also disclosed a corresponding semiconductor structure comprising a zincblende structure group III-nitride layer which, when characterized by XRD, shows that the substantial majority, or all, of the layer is formed of zincblende structure group III-nitride in preference to wurtzite structure group III-nitride.
    The present invention provides methods for producing hydrogen using a mediator that is capable of reversibly donating and accepting four or more electrons. A method of the invention comprises the steps of reducing a mediator by four or more electrons to yield a reduced mediator, and oxidising a reduced mediator to yield a mediator, and reducing protons to yield hydrogen.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method for estimating the molecular complexity of a sample, for example to determine whether biotic or synthetic components are present in the sample. The method comprises the steps of (a) performing one of MS/MS, NMR or IR on a sample; (b) determining the unique peaks in the resulting spectrum; and (c) calculating the molecular assembly index of the sample based on the number of unique peaks in the spectrum.
