20080206539 | Durable conformal wear-resistant carbon-doped metal oxide-comprising coating - The present invention is related to carbon-doped metal oxide films. The carbon-doped metal oxide films provide a low coefficient of friction, for example ranging from about 0.05 to about 0.4. In addition, the carbon-doped metal oxide films applied over a silicon substrate, for example, provide anti-stiction properties, where the measured work of adhesion for a MEMS device cantilever beam coated with the carbon-doped metal oxide film is less than 10 μJ/m | 08-28-2008 |
20080248263 | Method of creating super-hydrophobic and-or super-hydrophilic surfaces on substrates, and articles created thereby - The present invention is related to a chemical vapor deposition method of depositing layers of materials to provide super-hydrophilic surface properties, or super-hydrophobic surface properties, or combinations of such properties at various locations on a given surface. The invention also relates to various product applications which make use of super-hydrophobic surface properties, such as electronic devices, biological analytical and diagnostic tools, and optical devices, for example. | 10-09-2008 |
20080274281 | Vapor deposited functional organic coatings deposited on a halogen-containing substrate - We have developed an improved vapor-phase deposition method and apparatus for the attachment of organic films/coatings containing a variety of functional groups on halogen-containing substrates. The substrate surface is halogenated using a vaporous halogen-containing compound, followed by a reaction with at least one organic molecule containing at least one nucleophilic functional group. Halogenation of the substrate surface and subsequent reaction with the organic molecule are carried out in the same process chamber in a manner such that the halogenated substrate surface does not lose its functionality prior to reaction with the nucleophilic functional group(s) on the organic molecule. | 11-06-2008 |
20100075034 | Controlled deposition of silicon-containing coatings adhered by an oxide layer - We have developed an improved vapor-phase deposition method and apparatus for the application of films/coatings on substrates. The method provides for the addition of a precise amount of each of the reactants to be consumed in a single reaction step of the coating formation process. In addition to the control over the amount of reactants added to the process chamber, the present invention requires precise control over the total pressure (which is less than atmospheric pressure) in the process chamber, the partial vapor pressure of each vaporous component present in the process chamber, the substrate temperature, and typically the temperature of a major processing surface within said process chamber. Control over this combination of variables determines a number of the characteristics of a film/coating or multi-layered film/coating formed using the method. By varying these process parameters, the roughness and the thickness of the films/coatings produced can be controlled. | 03-25-2010 |
20100304132 | Controlled vapor deposition of multilayered coatings adhered by an oxide layer - An improved vapor-phase deposition method and apparatus for the application of multilayered films/coatings on substrates is described. The method is used to deposit multilayered coatings where the thickness of an oxide-based layer in direct contact with a substrate is controlled as a function of the chemical composition of the substrate, whereby a subsequently deposited layer bonds better to the oxide-based layer. The improved method is used to deposit multilayered coatings where an oxide-based layer is deposited directly over a substrate and an organic-based layer is directly deposited over the oxide-based layer. Typically, a series of alternating layers of oxide-based layer and organic-based layer are applied. | 12-02-2010 |
20110217449 | CONTROLLED VAPOR DEPOSITION OF BIOCOMPATIBLE COATINGS FOR MEDICAL DEVICES - An intraocular lens with a hydrophilic polymer coating composition and method of preparing same are provided. Specifically, a composition suitable for reducing tackiness in intraocular lenses is provided wherein an acrylic intraocular lens is treated by vapor deposition with an alkoxy silyl terminated polyethylene glycol polymer composition. | 09-08-2011 |

20120150993 | ASSISTED DELIVERY OF CONTENT ADAPTED FOR A REQUESTING CLIENT - Disclosed herein are methods and apparatus facilitating delivery of web content that has adapted for particular client devices, such as mobile devices. Doing so may involve assisting a server without the adaptation logic necessary to deliver adapted content to a particular client device. For example, a given web server may adapt content and serve website content to a requesting client, but another server may take over when the client desires to make a purchase at the site. That other server, while perhaps qualified to process payment information, may not be able to provide adapted content. The content adaptation web server can assist that other server to do so. In other embodiments, such a content adapting server may provide such services to a range of other servers, and itself may not serve content directly to the client. The teachings herein may be implemented within a content delivery network. | 06-14-2012 |
20120203861 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DELIVERING CONTENT TO DIFFERENTIATED CLIENT DEVICES - Methods and systems are disclosed for delivery of tailored content to differentiated devices, such as desktop, mobile, and tablet devices, over a computer network. In one embodiment, a proxy cache server has a content cache for storing previously retrieved objects like web pages or multimedia files. For at least some objects, several versions are stored, each version representing an object suited for a given set of client device characteristics. A device-equivalency data structure maintained at the proxy facilitates a determination of whether such cached versions can be used to service a current request. The versions might represent, for example, modified versions created using, e.g., mobile device transcoding techniques, in response to prior requests. They may also represent a set of alternate content created by a content provider and available from an origin server. Such methods and systems may be implemented in a distributed computing networks, e.g., a content delivery network. | 08-09-2012 |
