Abstract:
Methods for fabrication of copper delafossite materials include a low temperature sol-gel process for synthesizing CuBO2 powders, and a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) process for forming thin films of CuBO2, using targets made of the CuBO2 powders. The CuBO2 thin films are optically transparent p-type semiconductor oxide thin films. Devices with CuBO2 thin films include p-type transparent thin film transistors (TTFT) comprising thin film CuBO2 as a channel layer and thin film solar cells with CuBO2 p-layers. Solid state dye sensitized solar cells (SS-DSSC) comprising CuBO2 in various forms, including “core-shell” and “nano-couple” particles, and methods of manufacture, are also described.
Abstract:
A system is described for providing advertisements across multiple channels. The system may include a processor, a memory and an interface. The memory may store advertisements and a request. The interface may be operatively connected to the memory and the processor and may communicate with a user. The processor may be operatively connected to the interface and the memory and may associate the advertisements with channels. An advertisement associated with a channel may be formatted for display on the channel. The processor may receive a request from the user via the interface. The processor may determine the channel associated with the request and retrieve an advertisement associated with the channel. The processor may provide the advertisement to the user via the interface.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for providing mobile publishers with multiple versions of an advertisement, including enabling an advertiser to create at least two different versions of an advertisement, wherein each version is formatted for display on a mobile device with a predetermined device attribute including a screen attribute, and providing a mobile publisher with the at least two versions of the advertisement for service to a plurality of mobile devices having different screen attributes, at least one of the plurality of mobile devices having a screen attribute corresponding to that of at least one of a plurality of advertisement versions.
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods of forming metal oxide semiconductor nanostructures and, in particular, zinc oxide (ZnO) semiconductor nanostructures, possessing high surface area, plant-like morphologies on a variety of substrates. Optoelectronic devices, such as photovoltaic cells, incorporating the nanostructures are also provided.
Abstract:
A system-on-chip integrated circuit includes a peripheral initialization register has a bit corresponding to each module. Each bit indicates a normal mode or a reset mode for the corresponding module. A direct memory access unit can receive, prioritize and queue date movement transactions between modules and can read from or write to the peripheral initialization register. A peripheral interface unit prevents a write to the peripheral initialization register changing a module from reset mode to normal mode while there is an uncompleted data movement transaction involving that module. A false acknowledge circuit for each module supplies an acknowledge signal in response to a received command if the module is in reset mode.
Abstract:
Nanostructured films including a plurality of nanowells, the nanowells having a pore at the top surface of the film, the pore defining a channel that extends downwardly towards the bottom surface of the film are provided. Also provided are methods including exposing a growth substrate to an anodizing bath, applying ultrasonic vibrations to the anodizing bath, and generating a current through the anodizing bath to form the nanostructured film. The nanostructured films may be formed from TiO2 and may be used to provide solid state dye sensitized solar cells having high conversion efficiencies.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a high affinity recombinant humanized antibody fragment (scFv) specific for hepatitis B surface antigen having unique inter/intra chain bonding interaction because of 28 altered amino acid residues from the original mouse (5S) antibody and its chimeric Fab form, wherein fine tuning of the vernier zone residue makes it closer to the human sequence without any structural constraints.
Abstract:
A system is described for suggesting keywords to users based on mobile specific attributes. The system may include a processor, a memory and an interface being operatively connected. The memory may store a search query. The processor may be operative to communicate with a user on a mobile device. The mobile device may be associated with a mobile carrier. The processor may receive a search query from the user on the mobile device. The processor may identify a mobile specific attribute of the user. The processor may generate a suggested query related to the mobile specific attribute of the user and the search query. The processor may provide the suggested query to the user.
Abstract:
A system is described for adapting online advertising campaigns to incorporate mobile advertising. The system may include a processor, a memory and an interface being operatively connected. The memory may store ad groups of an advertiser, and mobile advertisements. An ad group may include keywords and web advertisements. The interface may allow the advertiser to associate the ad groups with mobile carriers. The processor may identify the ad groups and may provide the interface to the advertiser. The processor may receive associations of ad groups and mobile carriers. The processor may create mobile advertisements based on the web advertisements and mobile carriers. The processor may associate the mobile advertisements and the mobile carriers with the ad groups. The processor may provide one of the mobile advertisements to a user when the user performs a mobile search for one of the keywords on a mobile device associated with the mobile carriers.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for facilitating quick mobile website creation by mobile advertisers, including providing access to an advertiser of a mobile marketing application that interfaces with an ad server, wherein the advertiser is authenticated for access to the ad server; enabling the advertiser to input to an interface of the application a plurality of content items selected from the group consisting of a descriptive text, an image, a phone number, and a hyperlink; presenting the advertiser with a go live option; automatically creating the mobile website to include the submitted content items when the go live option is selected, wherein the application facilitates rapid creation by the advertiser of a mobile website having a plurality of web pages, and the mobile website is optimized for mobile delivery; subjecting the created mobile website to a plurality of error checks; and publishing the mobile website to a network through a mobile service provider system.
