20100127269 | METHOD AND STRUCTURE FOR ESTABLISHING CONTACTS IN THIN FILM TRANSISTOR DEVICES - The roughness and structural height of printed metal lines is used to pin a fluid. This fluid deposits a top contact material which is connected to the bottom printed contacts through pinholes in the hydrophobic polymer layer. This results in a sandwich-like contact structure achieved in a self-aligned deposition process and having improved source-drain contact for all-additive printed circuits. In one form, the present technique is used for thin film transistor applications, but it may be applied to electrodes in general. | 05-27-2010 |

20110073840 | RADIAL CONTACT FOR NANOWIRES - An embodiment is a method and apparatus of radial contact using nanowires. An inner contact has a center. An outer contact surrounds the inner contact around the center and is spaced from the inner contact by a channel length. A nanowire connects the center of the inner contact and the outer contact in a rotationally invariant geometry. | 03-31-2011 |
20130248833 | MODULAR STRATEGY FOR INTRODUCING END-GROUP FUNCTIONALITY INTO CONJUGATED COPOLYMERS - The invention provides methods for making and using end-functionalized conjugated polymers. Embodiments of the invention comprise performing a coupling polymerization in the presence of AA monomers, BB monomers and an end capping compound that can react with a monomer and which is selected to include a functional group. The functional end groups can, for example, comprise polymers or small molecules selected for their ability to produce conjugated polymers that self-assemble into thermodynamically ordered structures. In certain embodiments of the invention, nano-scale morphology of such conjugated polymer compositions can be driven by the phase separation of two covalently bound polymer blocks. These features make the use of conjugated polymers an appealing strategy for exerting control over active layer morphology in semiconducting polymer materials systems. | 09-26-2013 |

20100158544 | FLEXIBLE DIAGNOSTIC SENSOR SHEET - A system of diagnosing a printer or photocopying system using a flexible diagnostic sheet is described. In the system, a thin diagnostic sheet including a plurality of sensors formed on the sheet is run through the paper path of the printing system. The printing system subjects the diagnostic sheet to the printing process, including the deposition of fuser oil and toner on the sheet. Sensors on the sheet record various parameters, including but not limited to the amount of fuser oil deposited and the charge on various toner particles. The information is transmitted to service personnel or the printer end user to enable timely repair of the printer. | 06-24-2010 |
20100158548 | FLEXIBLE NANOWIRE SENSORS AND FIELD-EFFECT DEVICES FOR TESTING TONER - A system, including an improved sensor, for determining toner particle uniformity is described. The sensor measures toner particle charge, typically be having the charge on the toner particle control a current flow through the channel of a thin film transistor. By measuring the charge on many toner particles, the system determines whether sufficient toner degradation has occurred that the toner should be replaced. The sensor is particularly suitable for being formed on a thin diagnostic sheet that is input through the paper path of a printing system. | 06-24-2010 |
