| 20080230514 | METHOD OF PRODUCING NANOPATTERNED TEMPLATES - Nanopatterned substrates can be prepared by a method that includes forming a block copolymer film on a substrate, annealing the block copolymer film, surface reconstructing the annealed block copolymer film, coating an etch-resistant layer on the surface reconstructed block copolymer film, etching the resist-coated block copolymer film to create an etched article comprising a nanopatterned substrate, and separating the etch-resistant layer and the block copolymer film from the nanopatterned substrate. The method is applicable to a wide variety of substrate materials, avoids any requirement for complicated procedures to produce long-range order in the block copolymer film, and avoids any requirement for metal functionalization of the block copolymer. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20100086801 | METHOD OF PRODUCING NANOPATTERNED ARTICLES, AND ARTICLES PRODUCED THEREBY - Nanopatterned surfaces are prepared by a method that includes forming a block copolymer film on a substrate, annealing and surface reconstructing the block copolymer film to create an array of cylindrical voids, depositing a metal on the surface-reconstructed block copolymer film, and heating the metal-coated block copolymer film to redistribute at least some of the metal into the cylindrical voids.

| 20110080937 | TRANSMIT PSD CEILING IN PACKET-BASED OFDM SYSTEMS - Adjusted maximum transmit PSD levels have an effect on the SNR. If the ADC noise is assumed to be the limiting factor, then there can be a benefit for reducing the maximum transmit PSD level. For example, by lowering the maximum transmit PSD level from −50 dBm/Hz to −70 dBm/Hz results in an increase in SNR for subcarriers above 30 MHz. The SNR for subcarriers above 30 MHz can increase from 30 db (−80−(−110)) to 50 db (−80−(−130)). Therefore, by changing the maximum transmit PSD level, applying a ceiling on PSD mask, the aggregate sum of the available SNR's over the available subcarriers is increased, therefore increasing the obtainable OFDM data rate. In other words, a maximum transmit PSD mask can be used to lower the transmit PSD value of at least one subcarrier which results in an increase in SNR for at least one subcarrier. | 04-07-2011 |

| 20100268056 | Washable wearable biosensor - A washable, wearable biosensor that can gather sensor data, communicate the sensed data by wireless protocols, and permits the analysis of sensed data in real-time as a person goes about their normal lifestyle activities. The biosensor can be worn in multiple positions, can be put on or removed quickly without having to apply or remove gels and adhesives, and provides a snug, comfortable fit to gather data with minimal motion artifacts. The textile, wearable device can support integrated photoplethysmography, skin conductance, motion, and temperature sensors in a small wearable package. The supported sensors may be coupled to utilization devices by channel-sharing wireless protocols to enable the transmission of data from multiple users and multiple sensors (e.g. both sides of body, wrists or hands and feet, or multiple people). An on-board processor, or the receiving utilization device, can map patterns of the physiological and motion data to signals or alerts such as a likely seizure, drug craving, or other states that the wearer may exhibit or experience. The sensor data may be sent by wireless transmission and received by a mobile phone or other personal digital device, a computer, a favorite toy, or another wearable device. The sensors may include multiple photoplethysmographs and/or one or more EDAs which perform a time-domain measurement of skin conductance | 10-21-2010 |
