| 20100139455 | Methods of Forming Nanoparticles - The present invention provides a method for preparing nanoparticles of group IV elements, particularly nanoparticles of Si, Ge and Sn, and binary and ternary alloys of these elements. The method comprises the solution-phase decomposition of one or more group IV metal precursors at elevated temperature and under an inert atmosphere at atmospheric pressure, using a decomposition-promoting reagent. A surface-bonding agent is added to the reaction mixture to form an organic layer surrounding the nanoparticles and prevent aggregation. | 06-10-2010 |

| 20090267914 | MULTI-TOUCH TOUCH SCREEN WITH SINGLE-LAYER ITO BARS ARRANGED IN PARALLEL - A touch screen includes a plurality of single-layer ITO bars having a substantially rectangular shape and arranged in parallel to each other in order to detect touches on the touch screen. The location of a touch on the touch screen in the direction along an ITO bar is determined by applying a signal on one end of the ITO bar and measuring the change in the amplitude and the delay of the signal on the opposite end of the ITO bar. Such application and measurement of the signal can be repeated with the application of the signal occurring on the opposite end of the ITO bar and the measurement of the signal occurring on said one end of the ITO bar, in order to enhance the accuracy of the measurement. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20100079393 | ALTERNATING, COMPLEMENTARY CONDUCTIVE ELEMENT PATTERN FOR MULTI-TOUCH SENSOR - A touch sensor includes conductive elements of substantially concave shape to enable detection of multiple simultaneous touches in at least two directions, with reduced noise sensitivity and enhanced accuracy. The shapes of the conductive elements may be similar, or may be alternating, complementary shapes that cover substantially all of the sensor area. The conductive elements physically interact with adjacent elements in such a way that the area covered by a touch changes monotonically from overlapping substantially all of one element to overlapping substantially all of an adjacent element as the touch area is moved from one element to the other element along a line between the centers of those adjacent elements. Such monotonic change of touch overlap area may occur simultaneously in two orthogonal directions. Connections from internally positioned conductive elements to a touch controller may be made to pass through other conductive elements. | 04-01-2010 |

| 20110261446 | OPTICAL ARRANGEMENT FOR OBLIQUE PLANE MICROSCOPY - An optical arrangement for oblique plane microscopy includes a first optical subassembly having an objective lens that receives light from a sample in use, and configured to produce an intermediate image of the sample, and a second optical subassembly focused on the intermediate image. Optical axes of the first and second subassemblies are at an angle to each other at the point of the intermediate image, such that the second subassembly images an oblique plane in the intermediate image, corresponding to an oblique plane in the sample. An oblique plane microscopy method is performed by directing an incident light beam through the objective lens to illuminate or excite the oblique plane in the sample, and receiving light from the sample through the same objective lens. The incident light beam is incident on the sample at an angle of substantially 90° relative to the light beam received from the sample. | 10-27-2011 |

| 20080259821 | DYNAMIC PACKET TRAINING - A packet control mechanism for a computer data system that dynamically adjusts packet training depending on the utilization load on the processor. The dynamic adjustment of packet training can be to enable and disable packet training, or adjust the number of packets in the packet train. In preferred embodiments, the computer data system includes a processor utilization mechanism that indicates a load on a processor. When the packet control mechanism determines the load on the processor is above a threshold limit, the packet control mechanism reduces the processor load by compressing the packets into the packet train. The compressing of the packets is stopped or reduced when the processor load is below a threshold in order to increase the data throughput on the network interface. | 10-23-2008 |

| 20080311689 | SECURING A TRANSISTOR OUTLINE CAN WITHIN AN OPTICAL COMPONENT - The present invention relates to affixing components of optical packages. The optical packages can include an optical component, such as a TO-Can. The TO-Can can house an optical transmitter and/or an optical receiver. Another optical component of the optical package can be a barrel for aligning the TO-Can with an optical fiber. The TO-Can can be affixed within an open end of the optical barrel using a bonding substance, such as an epoxy, that has wicking properties. The wicking properties cause the bonding substance to enter a gap between the optical barrel and the TO-Can by capillary action. Use of the bonding substance with wicking properties creates a more robust optical package in a cost effective manner. | 12-18-2008 |
