20100132790 | Rechargeable Dye Sensitized Solar Cell - A method of using a dye sensitized solar cell includes providing a dye sensitized solar cell having a first electrode having a transparent substrate of a first refractive index, a second electrode having a second transparent substrate of a second refractive index comparable to the first refractive index, and an electrolyte solution in a gap between the first electrode and second electrode. The electrolyte solution is removed from the gap and replaced with an inert fluid having a third refractive index comparable to the first refractive index and the second refractive index to allow light to pass through the cell substantially unrefracted. Alternatively, the inert fluid is in the gap between the first electrode and second electrode, and the inert fluid is removed from the gap and replaced with an electrolyte solution. | 06-03-2010 |
20100103504 | NANO-ANTENNA ENHANCED IR UP-CONVERSION MATERIALS - Robust composite materials containing nanoscale antennae for molecules are used in the up-conversion process. Antennae can be used to locally enhance the electric fields near an upconverting phosphor or material to enhance both absorption of energy, such as with a television or radio receiver, and emission of energy, such as by the transmitter at the radio station. | 04-29-2010 |
20080291442 | Chemical and biological sensing using metallic particles in amplifying and absorbing media - A film for surface enhanced raman scattering may be utilized for chemical and biological sensing. The film includes a polymeric layer, and a metallic nanoparticle having a cross-section, the metallic nanoparticle being embedded in the polymeric layer. The polymeric layer has a thickness less than a largest straight line through the cross-section of said metallic nanoparticle. The polymeric layer is selected from a group of absorbing media and amplifying media, and the metallic nanoparticle may be gold. The metallic nanoparticle may also be a shape selected from a group of spheroids and rods. | 11-27-2008 |
