摘要:
A method for forming a thermal silicon nitride on a semiconductor substrate is disclosed. This method allows formation of thermal silicon nitride that is thick enough for a FET gate dielectric, but has a low thermal budget.
摘要:
A latex comprising a free radically polymerized product, said product comprising at least two ethylenically unsaturated monomers, at least one of said monomers having an isocyanate group which is sterically hindered or blocked and at least one other of said ethylenically unsaturated monomers being free of isocyanate functional groups, in an aqueous emulsion in the presence of a free-radical polymerization catalyst, in a manner such that the sterically hindered or blocked isocyanate groups distribute in the outer layer of the latex particle and the method of making such.
摘要:
A method for producing a porous film on a silicon substrate is described. The substrate 14 is placed in a vacuum chamber in the presence of oxygen at specified pressure and temperature for a period of time to form a thin oxide film 10 thereon. Then the conditions in the chamber are altered so that voids 14 of a desired dimension are formed in the oxide film 10. Alternatively, a substrate 20 is subjected to specific conditions in the vacuum chamber whereat oxide islands 22 nucleate on the surface. As the islands grow, they eventually cover most of the surface leaving voids 24 of the desired size.
摘要:
PTP1B inhibitors with the following structure (formula I). Experiments indicate that these inhibitors can effectively inhibit the activity of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B). They can be used as insulin sensitisers. They can be used to prevent, delay or treat diseases which are related to insulin antagonism mediated by PTP1B, especially diabetes type II and obesity. The invention also provides methods for preparing these inhibitors.
摘要:
The present invention relates to design and construction of a mini and compact optical disc autoloader. By way of a flip-flop device positioned and pivoted between two disc trays, the robotic arm movement is simplified to a one-dimensional linear fashion and greatly reduces the cost of production and also cost of maintenance. The present invention also allows for multiple write drives to be easily built into present invention, creating an efficient duplicating system. It can be used for the home and small business environment for small volume optical duplication, storage and management.
摘要:
Methods and compositions for selecting ES cells that are germline competent are provided, including gene expression arrays of from one to about 300 or more genes. Selecting ES cells that are competent for germline transmission by comparing the expression of one or more genes between an ES cell that is competent at germline transmission with an ES cell of interest is described. Selecting ES cells likely to be competent at germline transmission, based on their level of expression of gtl2, is also described.
摘要:
A device (200, 300) makes smudges (406), including oils and dust, unnoticeable when formed on a viewable surface (201) thereof. The device (200, 300) includes a transparent layer (202) overlying a housing (102, 104) and/or a display (110, 150). A multi-phase structure (204, 206) is disposed on the transparent layer (202), the multi-phase structure (204, 206) comprising a solid porous matrix (204) defining a plurality of pores (208), and a non-solid material (206), for example, a liquid or a gel, disposed within the pores (208).
摘要:
A device (110, 151, 200) with a viewable surface (201) including a plurality of transparent pedestals (210) having a reflective material (406) disposed on its sides (408) make smudges forming thereon unnoticeable by taking advantage of optical characteristics including contrast and the user's visual acuity. The pedestals (210) generally have a width (412) of less than 50 microns, a height (414) equal to twice the width (412), and a spacing (416) between adjacent pedestals (210) equal to the width (412). The device (110, 151, 200) may be an electronic device, and more particularly a portable electronic device such as a cell phone.
摘要:
A sensitized photovoltaic device (10) provides for a reduction of the charge recombination rate and charge transport time. The device (10) includes a first electrode (12) comprising a transparent conducting oxide and a plurality of carbon nanostructures (16) formed thereon. A first layer (18) is formed on the carbon nanostructure (16) and comprises a first conduction band level (44). A second layer (20) is formed on the first oxide (18) and comprises a second conduction band level (46) higher than the first conduction band level (44). A sensitizer (22) is formed on the second layer (20) and comprises a lowest unoccupied molecular orbital level (48) higher than the second conduction band level (46). An electrolyte (24) is positioned over the sensitizer (22), and a second electrode (26) comprising a transparent conducting oxide and a layer of catalyst is formed over the electrolyte (24).
