Abstract:
The invention relates to a display device (1) having pixel elements comprising a luminescent material (7) for emitting light when excited by, e.g. electromagnetic radiation. The pixel elements are provided with electrodes (5,9) which modulate an emission of light by the luminescent material (7) by applying an electric field.
Abstract:
Devices, systems, methods (as depicted in figure 1a), and compositions of matter can track and/or identify a library of elements, particularly for use with fluids, particulates, cells, and the like. Signals from one or more semiconductor nanocrystals may be combined to define spectral codes. Separation of signal wavelengths within dedicated wavelength ranges or windows facilitates differentiation of spectral codes, while calibration signals within the spectral codes can avoid ambiguity. Modeling based on prior testing can help derive libraries of acceptable codes.
Abstract:
A hollow electrode (1) for plasma generation having an inverted conical protrusion (3) on the inner surface of the tip thereof. The cooling fluid (6) is directed against the interior surface of the conical protrusion (3) by a coolant-carrying tube (4) interior to the electrode (1) and approximately coaxial therewith.
Abstract:
Electrophoretic deposition provides an efficient process for manufacturing a field emission cathode (10). Particles (19) of an electron emitting material mixed with particles (18) of an insulating material are deposited by electrophoretic deposition on a conducting layer overlying an insulating layer to produce the cathode. By controlling the composition of the deposition bath and by mixing insulating particles (18) with emitting particles (19), an electrophoretic deposition process can be used to efficiently produce field emission cathodes that provide spatially and temporally stable field emission. The deposition bath for the field emission cathode includes an alcohol, a charging salt, water, and a dispersant. The field emission cathodes can be used as an electron source in a field emission source in a field emission display device.
Abstract:
A vacuum diode is constructed in which the electrodes are coated with a thin film of diamond-like carbonaceous material (6). The cathode (4) and anode (8) are separated by spacers (5) and a rinseable material (7) where the rinseable material (7) is later removed.
Abstract:
A light bulb includes an Edison style base, light emitting diode circuitry coupled to the base, a bulb sealed about the base and extending above the base, an elongated filament substrate supported by the base and extending into the bulb above the base, a light emitting diode channel supported by the filament substrate, coupled to the light emitting diode circuitry, and extending into the bulb above the base, and an inert gas disposed within the bulb.
Abstract:
A light emitting assembly including a substrate having electrically conductive pathways that electrically connect a plurality of electrical component dies. The said electrical components include at least one light emitting diode engaged along the substrate to form an interface surface between the light emitting diode and the substrate. Therefore the combined and unified vector of thermal conduction from the light emitting diode dies are perpendicular to the interface surface when the combined and unified vector of thermal conduction crosses the interface surface from the light emitting diode die to the substrate.
Abstract:
A germicidal lamp may include a glass envelope and a UV-blocking coating provided on the glass envelope. An HVAC system may include a duct, evaporator coil banks provided in the duct, a drip pan provided in the duct and below the evaporator coil banks, and a germicidal lamp inserted through an opening in the duct and configured to emit UV radiation. The germicidal lamp may include a glass envelope and a UV-blocking coating provided on the glass envelope, and the UV-blocking coating may be configured such that the evaporator coil banks are irradiated with UV radiation while a substantial portion of the UV radiation is prevented from reaching the drip pan.
