20090032097 | Enhancement of dye-sensitized solar cells using colloidal metal nanoparticles - Plasmon enhancement of a dye-stained matrix for use in a photovoltaic cell. The matrix includes nanoparticles of a charge accepting semiconductor; a sensitizer coating the charge accepting semiconductor; and metal nanoparticles capable of plasmon resonance. Another aspect of the invention relates to a plasmon-enhanced photovoltaic cell. The solar photovoltaic cell includes a plurality of nanoparticles of charge accepting semiconductor; a coating of sensitizer on the plurality of nanoparticles of charge accepting semiconductor; and a plurality of metal nanoparticles capable of plasmon resonance in communication with the sensitizer coating. An additional aspect relates to a method of making plasmon-enhanced material suitable for use in a photovoltaic cell. The steps include providing a charge accepting semiconductor; sintering the charge accepting semiconductor such as metal oxide; coating the charge accepting semiconductor with sensitizer; providing metal nanoparticles capable of plasmon resonance; and coating the charge accepting semiconductor with metal nanoparticles capable of plasmon resonance. | 02-05-2009 |

20160109653 | OPTICAL INTERCONNECTS AND METHODS OF FABRICATING SAME - An embodiment provides an optical interconnect comprising first and second planar metallization layers, a glass substrate disposed between at least portions of the first and second metallization layers, an aperture in the second metallization layer having a first and second ends, and a polymer waveguide having a first end adjacent the first end of the aperture. The first end of the waveguide can have a first edge defining a first acute angle with respect to a top surface of the waveguide. The first end of the optical waveguide can be configured to receive an optical signal traversing through the glass substrate from a source proximate a first position on a top surface of the glass substrate and direct the optical signal with the first edge in a direction parallel to the glass substrate towards a second end of the waveguide. | 04-21-2016 |

20140245913 | METHOD OF MOUNTING A FLEXOGRAPHIC PRINTING PLATE WITH STRUCTURED PATTERNED BACKING TAPE - A method of mounting a flexographic printing plate with structured patterned backing tape includes attaching a first end of a structured patterned backing tape to a printing plate cylinder at a scribe line. The structured patterned backing tape is wrapped around the printing plate cylinder. A second end of the structured patterned backing tape is cut at the scribe line. A first end of a flexographic printing plate is attached to the printing plate cylinder at an offset seam location ahead of the scribe line. The flexographic printing plate is wrapped around the printing plate cylinder. A second end of the flexographic printing plate is cut at the offset seam location. | 09-04-2014 |
20140245914 | METHOD OF MOUNTING A FLEXOGRAPHIC PRINTING PLATE TO AVOID BANDING - A method of mounting a flexographic printing plate includes disposing a backing tape on a printing plate cylinder forming a taped printing plate cylinder. A transverse center of the flexographic printing plate is attached to the taped printing plate cylinder at a mount line offset relative to a scribe line of the printing plate cylinder. A first portion of the flexographic printing plate is wrapped around a first portion of the taped printing plate cylinder from the mount line outward in a first direction away from the mount line. A second portion of the flexographic printing plate is wrapped around a second portion of the taped printing plate cylinder from the mount line outward in a second direction away from the mount line. The mount line is offset relative to the scribe line at a distance that ensures banding occurs in a non-patterned non-printing area of the flexographic printing plate. | 09-04-2014 |

20100109638 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING AMPLITUDE SPECTROSCOPY OF A MULTILEVEL QUANTUM SYSTEM - A system and method for providing amplitude spectroscopy is provided. Generally, the system contains a generator for providing a waveform for analysis of a multilevel quantum system, wherein the generator has the capability of changing amplitude of the waveform provided and driving the multilevel quantum system at a fixed frequency while sweeping amplitude. A detector is also provided for reading population in different energy states of the multilevel quantum system, wherein the detector plots an amplitude spectroscopy response of the multilevel quantum system. A memory and processor are provided within the system where the processor is configured by the memory to perform the step of plotting an energy-level diagram of the multilevel quantum system from the amplitude spectroscopy plot of the multilevel quantum system. | 05-06-2010 |

20090236271 | Modular Drinking Water Filtration System with Locking Arrangement to Assure Filter Cartridge Compatibility - A modular filter system using replaceable filter cartridges includes a locking arrangement that prevents rotation of the flow control valve spindle in the filter head, but includes an unlocking arrangement on the cartridge that unlocks the locking arrangement if the proper replacement cartridge is used. The locking arrangement may include spring biased locking pins carried on the filter head and matching unlocking pins on the filter cartridge to operate through an intermediate adaptor ring that is set on assembly to match the positions of the locking and unlocking pins. | 09-24-2009 |
20090236272 | Modular Drinking Water Filtration System with Keyed Attachment of Filter Head to Mounting Bracket and Modular Back Plates - A modular filter system using replaceable filter cartridges includes a mounting bracket for each filter cartridge and corresponding filter head that includes keyed attachment of the head to the mounting ring on the mounting bracket and modular attachment of the mounting bracket to the modular back plate. Back plates are also modular to permit assembly of a variety of multi-cartridge systems. | 09-24-2009 |
20090236276 | Modular Drinking Water Filtration System with Adapter Rings for Replaceable Cartridges to Assure Proper Fit - A modular filter system using replaceable filter cartridges includes matching adaptor rings in the filter head and on the filter cartridge placed at selected circumferential positions to ensure proper cartridge fit and to provide a proprietary cartridge construction for selected users. The adaptor rings operate only to control cartridge to filter head fit and are not used to drive the rotary valve spindle. | 09-24-2009 |
20090236277 | Modular Drinking Water Filtration System with Internal Sealing Between Valve Spindle and Head - A rotary valve spindle for flow control in the head of a filter includes a unitary dual function seal that is carried by the spindle and seals against the inner surface of the filter head during spindle rotation between flow and no-flow positions. The dual function seal greatly simplifies manufacture and assembly of the valve. | 09-24-2009 |
