摘要:
An optical component capable of changing polarization light state and a liquid crystal display (LCD) device using the same are provided. The optical component including a transparent substrate and a wavelength compensator is disposed at any position from the outer side of the LCD device to the outside in an output direction of an output light. The wavelength compensator is directly attached to the surface of the substrate to convert an output light of the LCD device from a linearly polarized light into a circularly polarized light or an elliptically polarized light, thereby effectively reducing eye fatigue. The LCD device is provided with such an optical component such that a linearly polarized light emerging from the LCD device is converted into a circularly polarized light or an elliptically polarized light to lessen the eye fatigue.

A sheet wafer has a generally flat, generally rectangular shaped body with a length and a width, and first and second filaments generally perpendicular to the width of the body. The first and second filaments are at least partially encapsulated by a wafer material and, together with the wafer material, form at least a portion of the body. The width is between about 145 mm and 165 mm.

A ribbon crystal has a body with a width dimension, and string embedded within the body. The string has a generally elongated cross-sectional shape. This cross-section (of the string) has a generally longitudinal axis that diverges with the width dimension of the ribbon crystal body.

In certain aspects, the present invention provides methods for determining whether a Her-2 positive cancer is likely to respond to treatment with a Her2-acting agent and/or whether a patient with a Her-2 positive cancer is likely to have a slow disease progression. In other aspects, the present invention is drawn to methods for determining whether a subject with a Her-2 positive cancer is unlikely to respond to treatment with at least one chemotherapeutic agent in addition to a Her2-acting agent and/or whether a patient with a Her-2 positive cancer is likely to have a fast disease progression.
摘要:
A method is provided for compounding, homogenizing and consolidating compounds. In one embodiment, the charge components are mixed in a controlled addition process, then the newly-formed compound is heated to become totally molten, followed by a rapid quench at room temperature. In an alternate embodiment, the components are supplied with an excess of one component acting as a solvent, heated to dissolve additional components, and then the solvent is separated from the compound to produce homogeneous consolidated compounds. The methods herein are advantageously applied to provide an economical and fast process for producing CdTe, CdZnTe and ZnTe compounds.

A string for use in a string ribbon crystal has a base portion with a refractory material, and an externally exposed layer radially outward of the refractory material. The base portion has a coefficient of thermal expansion that is generally matched with the coefficient of thermal expansion for silicon. The externally exposed layer has a contact angle with silicon of between about 15 and 120 degrees.

A ribbon crystal pulling furnace has an interior for enclosing at least a portion of one or more ribbon crystals, and an afterheater positioned within the interior. The afterheater has at least one wall with one or more openings that facilitate control of the temperature profile within the furnace.
摘要:
A method of growing ribbon crystal provides a crucible containing molten material, and passes at least two strings through the molten material to produce a partially formed ribbon crystal. The method then directs a fluid to a given portion of the partially formed ribbon crystal to convectively cool the given portion.
摘要:
An air-bearing surface of a hard disk drive slider comprises a trailing edge wherein a magnetic transducer is coupled to the air-bearing surface. A leading edge is opposite from the trailing edge. A channel is coupled to the air-bearing surface wherein the channel comprises: a closure at a distal end proximal to the leading edge; a bottom surface; and a center of the channel approximately aligned colinear with a center of the magnetic transducer. In this configuration the channel generates significantly more negative pressure proximal to the leading edge thereby stiffening the air bearing during operation.
