20080231274METHOD TO CONTROL A MAGNETIC RESONANCE SYSTEM - In a method for controlling a magnetic resonance system having a radio-frequency antenna structure and a number of individually controllable transmission channels, respective parallel radio-frequency signals are emitted via the transmission channels for generation of a desired radio-frequency field distribution in at least one specific volume region within an examination volume of the magnetic resonance system. A digital signal is generated for each of the transmission channels and is modulated on a carrier frequency. The radio-frequency signal so generated is transmitted via a radio-frequency signal path to the radio-frequency antenna structure and is amplified therein in a radio-frequency power amplifier. The digital signal is manipulated in a characteristic curve correction device on the basis of a correction characteristic curve predetermined for the respective radio-frequency signal path such that a distortion of the radio-frequency signal caused in the appertaining radio-frequency signal path is at least partially compensated. Respective individual correction characteristic curves for a specific measurement are predetermined for the various transmission channels dependent on a field distribution parameter that defines the desired radio-frequency field distribution.

20110189801METHOD FOR DEPOSITION OF CATHODES FOR POLYMER OPTOELECTRONIC DEVICES - Embodiments of the invention explore solution-based deposition of a cathode for an OLED structure. A typical embodiment of the invention may include a method performed according to the following steps: Glass substrates including deposited Indium Tin-Oxide (ITO) are prepared. The substrates are subjected to ultrasonic cleaning with deionized water and organic solvents. Features are etched into the ITO using high concentration HCl solution. A hole injecting layer is deposited by spin coater. The layer is annealed on a hot plate, then a polyphenylene vinylene (PPV) polymer is deposited by spin coater and annealed on a hot plate. Low work function cathode metal is then deposited in an electroless solution and annealed on a hot plate. The device is encapsulated.08-04-2011
