Abstract:
A photosensitive device includes a plurality of organic photoconductive materials disposed in a stack between a first electrode and a second electrode, including a first continuous layer of donor host material, a second continuous layer of acceptor host material, and at least one other organic photoconductive material disposed as a plurality of discontinuous islands between the first continuous layer and the second continuous layer. Each of these other photoconductive materials has an absorption spectra different from the donor host material and the acceptor host material. Preferably, each of the discontinuous islands consists essentially of a crystallite of the respective organic photoconductive material, and more preferably, the crystallites are nanocrystals.
Abstract:
An optoelectronic device and a method for fabricating the optoelectronic device includes a first electrode disposed on a substrate, an exposed surface of the first electrode having a root mean square roughness of at least 30 nm and a height variation of at least 200 nm, the first electrode being transparent. A conformal layer of a first organic semiconductor material is deposited onto the first electrode by organic vapor phase deposition, the first organic semiconductor material being a small molecule material. A layer of a second organic semiconductor material is deposited over the conformal layer. At least some of the layer of the second organic semiconductor material directly contacts the conformal layer. A second electrode is deposited over the layer of the second organic semiconductor material. The first organic semiconductor material is of a donor-type or an acceptor-type relative to the second organic semiconductor material, which is of the other material type.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A scan clock modifier, a method of providing a variable scan clock, an IC including a scan clock modifier and a library including a cell of a scan clock modifier. In one embodiment, the scan clock modifier includes: (1) logic circuitry configured to provide at least one selected clock signal based on a test scan clock signal and a first clock control signal, both of the test scan clock signal and the first clock control signal received from test equipment and (2) comparison logic configured to provide a scan clock signal based on the at least one selected clock signal and at least one other clock control signal received from the test equipment, wherein the first and the at least one other clock control signals are different clock control signals.
Abstract:
The instant invention provides a live labeling microorganism assay for screening a one-bead one-compound library to identify synthetic anti-adherent compounds for blocking biofilm formation. The compounds of libraries may be peptides, small molecules, nucleic acids, other types of molecules or a combination of the foregoing. The live labeling microorganisms are incubated with a one-bead one-compound library for a long period with fresh-labeled bacteria and nutrition replacement in regular intervals. Those beads without bacterial adhesion are transferred into nutritional agar for the culture. The true anti-adherent beads are isolated and the sequences of each isolated compound-bead are determined with sequencer. The anti-adherent compounds identified in this invention are proved to possess long-term effect of blocking bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation. Thus the instant invention provides a unique and powerful method to identify anti-adherent compounds from library more quickly and reliably than current state-of-the-art technology allows.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are disclosed according to which a programmable access selector comprising at least one defined characteristic and at least one defined method are applied with each other, wherein at least one access from among a plurality of available accesses is selected responsive to the application.
Abstract:
A memory refresh method applicable in a system memory is disclosed. The memory system comprises a plurality of memory ranks. It is to determine whether an access request corresponds to the memory rank, and an idle auto-refresh number of the memory rank is calculated if there is no access request corresponds to the memory rank. The memory rank is switched from an auto-refresh mode to a self-refresh mode when the idle auto-refresh number of the memory rank reaches a predetermined value.
Abstract:
A system is provided for configuring an application for operation onboard a mobile node that includes a plurality of communication interfaces for accessing a plurality of types of networks. The system includes a network entity that can send a request for an application-specific profile for operating an application onboard the mobile node, the request including information identifying the application. In response, a profile server can create/retrieve an application-specific profile based upon the request. The application-specific profile includes one or more application-specific preferences and/or one or more application-specific settings, where at least one of the application-specific preference(s) and/or setting(s) can be interpreted into one or more policy rules capable of at least partially controlling selection of one or more of the communication interfaces of the mobile node during operation of the application. The application can thereafter be configured at least partially based upon the application-specific profile independent of user input.
