Abstract:
Systems and methods for preparing synthetic osteoinductive bone grafts are provided in which a porous ceramic granule, which may be incorporated within a biocompatible matrix material, is loaded with an osteoinductive agent. Loading of granules is facilitated in some cases by the use of low-pH buffers and pre-treatments.
Abstract:
A composition comprising: at least one conjugated polymer, at least one second polymer comprising repeat units represented by: (I) optionally, —[CH2—CH(Ph-OH)]— and (II) —[CH2—CH(Ph-OR)]— wherein Ph is a phenyl ring and R comprises a fluorinated group, an alkyl group, an alkylsulfonic acid group, an alkylene oxide group, or a combination thereof is described. Other polymers can be used as second polymer including polymers comprising modified naphthol side groups. The composition can be used in hole injection and hole transport layers for organic electronic devices. Increased lifetime and better processability can be achieved. Versatility with useful OLED emitters can be achieved. Ink formulations can be adapted for ink jet printing. The conjugated polymer can be a polythiophene. Applications include OLEDs and OPVs.
Abstract:
Polymers which can be used in p-type materials for organic electronic devices and photovoltaic cells. Compounds, monomers, dimers, trimers, and polymers comprising: wherein A1 and A2 each independently comprise a fused ring system comprising at least two fused rings directly covalently linked to the pyrrole rings. 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.

Abstract:
An organic vertical cavity laser light producing device includes a bottom dielectric stack reflective to light over a predetermined range of wavelengths; an organic active region for producing laser light, and having an organic active region including emissive material; and a top dielectric stack spaced from the bottom dielectric stack and reflective to light over a predetermined range of wavelengths. Pump-beam light is transmitted and introduced into the organic active region through at least one of the dielectric stacks. The organic active region includes one or more periodic gain region(s) and organic spacer layers disposed on either side of the periodic gain region(s) and arranged so that the periodic gain region(s) is aligned with the antinodes of the device's standing wave electromagnetic field, and wherein the spacer layers are substantially transparent to the laser light.
Abstract:
A timing circuit used in reading disc media or other dada includes multiple sync detection circuits. In the event that an active sync detection circuit fails to detect sync signals within predefined parameters, a different one of the sync detection circuits searches for a sync pattern. Uniquely definable sequences of sync patterns are used to determine a position of sync patterns within a sector of data.
