Abstract:
Method and system for optimally estimating the location of each of a sequence of two or more synchronization patterns in a digital signal bit stream. A first reference location for a sync pattern is determined. A Boolean product or other product of the sync pattern (of length S) with S consecutive bit values of the digital stream is formed, for each of a selected consecutive sequence of candidates for a second reference location of the sync pattern within a window of selected length. A candidate reference location that yields the largest (or smallest) product value within the window is estimated to be a second or “next” reference location of the sync pattern, if the product value is at least equal to (or, alternatively, is no greater than) a selected threshold value. The sync pattern used for testing the digital stream can be varied from one location to another. The number of bit matches or the number of bit non-matches can be used to determine an optimal reference location for the sync pattern.
Abstract:
A composition comprising: at least one compound comprising a hole transporting core, wherein the core is covalently bonded to a first arylamine group and also covalently bonded to a second arylamine group different from the first, and wherein the compound is covalently bonded to at least one intractability group, wherein the intractability group is covalently bonded to the hole transporting core, the first arylamine group, the second arylamine group, or a combination thereof, and wherein the compound has a molecular weight of about 5,000 g/mole or less. Blended mixtures of arylamine compounds, including fluorene core compounds, can provide good film formation and stability when coated onto hole injection layers. Solution processing of OLEDs is a particularly important application.
Abstract:
A composition comprising a homopolymer or a copolymer comprising bithiophene units for use in, for example, low band gap materials including uses in organic photovoltaic active layers. The band gap and other properties can be engineered by polymerization methods including selection of monomer structure and ratio of monomer components. In addition, a dimer adapted for making alternating copolymers further comprising one first monomer moiety comprising at least one bithiophene moiety compound covalently linked to one second monomer moiety comprising a different bithiophene moiety or at least one moiety that is not a bithiophene. The composition can be copolymerized to form an alternating copolymer that can be further processed to form a polymeric film used in a printed organic electronic device. A series of novel copolymers are designed that would allow fabrication of materials with tailor made electronic and/or mechanical properties that can be easily manipulated through molecules chemical structure and potentially result in long term stability under ambient conditions that can be advantageous for use in organic electronics (e.g., OPVs, OLEDs, OFETs). Improved methods are disclosed for making monomers comprising a benzo[2,1-b:3,4-b′]dithiophene moiety that are useful as electronics materials.

Abstract:
Polymers which can be used in p-type materials for organic electronic devices and photovoltaic cells. Compounds, monomers, dimers, trimers, and polymers comprising: Good photovoltaic efficiency and lifetime can be achieved. The R group can provide solubility, environmental stability, and fine tuning of spectroscopic and/or electronic properties. Different polymer microstructures can be prepared which encourage multiple band gaps and broad and strong absorptions. The carbonyl can interact with adjacent thiophene rings to provide backbone with rigidity, induce planarity, and reduce and/or eliminate intramolecular chain twisting defects. Polymers comprising benzodithiophene and/or benzothiadiazole structures can show particularly high performance.

Non-aqueous based inks can be formulated. Iodonium salts can be used.
