Abstract:
Nanowire (260, 360) growth in situ on a planar surface, which is one of a crystalline surface having any crystal orientation, a polycrystalline surface and a non-crystalline surface, is controlled by guiding (160) catalyzed growth from the planar surface in a nano-throughhole (224, 324) of a patterned layer (220, 320) formed on the planar surface, such that the nanowire (260, 360) grows in situ perpendicular to the planar surface. An electronic device (200, 300) includes first and second regions of electronic circuitry (280, 370, 380) vertically spaced by the patterned layer (220, 320). The nano-throughhole (224, 324) of the patterned layer (220, 320) extends perpendicularly between the regions. The first region (324, 376) has the planar surface. The device (200, 300) further includes a nanowire (260, 360) extending perpendicular from a catalyst location on the planar surface of the first region (374, 376) in the nano-throughhole (224, 324). The nanowire (260, 360) forms a component of a nano-scale circuit that connects the regions.
Abstract:
An imprint apparatus (100, 100', 200, 220) and method 300 employ an effective pressure P eff in imprint lithography. The imprint apparatus (100, 100', 200, 220) includes a compressible chamber (111) that encloses an imprint mold (120, 228a) having a mold pattern (122) and a sample (130, 228b) to be imprinted (300). The chamber (111) is compressed (330, 340, 350) to imprint (360) the mold pattern (122) on the sample (130, 228b). The mold (120, 228a) is pressed (350) against the sample (130, 228b) with the effective pressure P eff . The effective pressure P eff is controlled by a selected ratio A cavity /A contact of a cavity area A cavity of the chamber (111) to a contact area A contact between the mold (120, 228a) and the sample (130, 228b).

Abstract:
A composite material (100) and related methods are described, the composite material (100) being configured to exhibit a negative effective permittivity and/or negative effective permeability for incident radiation (101) at an operating wavelength, the composite material comprising an arrangment of electromagnetically reactive cells (106) of small dimension relative to the operating wavelength. Each cell (106) includes an externally powered gain element (110) for enhancing a resonant response of that cell to the incident radiation (101) at the operating wavelength.
Abstract:
The present invention is a high efficiency permanent magnet machine capable of maintaining high power density. The machine is operable over a wide range of power output. The improved efficiency is due in part to copper wires with a current density lower than traditional designs and larger permanent magnets coupled with a large air gap. In a certain embodiment wide stator teeth are used to provide additional improved efficiency through significantly reducing magnetic saturation resulting in lower current. The machine also has a much smaller torque angle than that in traditional design at rated load and thus has a higher overload handling capability and improved efficiency. In addition, when the machine is used as a motor, an adaptive phase lag compensation scheme helps the sensorless field oriented control (FOC) scheme to perform more accurately.
Abstract:
Embodiments of apparatus and methods for error detection and correction are described. A codeword may have a data portion and associated check bits. In embodiments, one or more error detection modules may be configured to detect a plurality of error types in the codeword. One or more error correction modules coupled with the one or more error detection modules may be further configured to correct errors of the plurality of error types once they are detected by the one or more error detection modules. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
A multi-attach reusable security tag (MARST) that is attached to an article in two stages, hx a first stage, an attachment clip is coupled to an article, such as but not limited to clothing, to be protected by a manufactxirer or assembler. This attachment clip is durable to withstand harsh manufacturing environments. Once the article with the attachment clip is ready for presentation, for example, at a retail establishment, during a second stage, the attachment clip is then secured in a reJeasable locking mechanism of a housing containing a security element, therein. The security element may comprise HAS (including AM, RF, EM and microwave), !IFID (including LF, ITf and UHF) elements or any combination thereof. Alternatively, a fluke element can be used to secure the attachment clip to the reJeasable locking mechanism and wherein this fluke element permits the attachment clip to swivel outside of the housing. A preferred embodiment of the security tag uses all non-ferrous components including its locking mechanism. Thus, the security tags combine the qualities of being non-ferrous, light- weight, low cost, deactivatable, secure, visuaily-deterring, and installable in two stages to the article it is meant to protect.

Abstract:
A multi - attach disposable security tag is attached to an article in two stages. In a first stage, an attachment clip is coupled to an article by an article manufacturer or assembler. This attachment clip is durable to withstand harsh manufacturing environments. During a second stage, the attachment clip is then permanently secured in a locking mechanism of a housing (604) containing a deactivatable security element for article presentation at a retail establishment. The attachment clip may be rotatable or non - rotatable with respect to the tag housing (604). The security element may comprise EAS (including AM, RF, EM and microwave), RFID (including LF, HF and UHF) elements or any combination thereof. A preferred embodiment of the security tag uses all non-ferrous components including its locking mechanism. The security tags combine the qualities of being non-ferrous, light-weight, low cost, deactivatable, secure, visually- deterring, and installable in two stages to the article.
