| 20110048514 | LATTICE MATCHED SEMICONDUCTOR GROWTH ON CRYSTALLINE METALLIC SUBSTRATES - Methods of fabricating a semiconductor layer or device and said devices are disclosed. The methods include but are not limited to providing a metal or metal alloy substrate having a crystalline surface with a known lattice parameter (a). The methods further include growing a crystalline semiconductor alloy layer on the crystalline substrate surface by coincident site lattice matched epitaxy. The semiconductor layer may be grown without any buffer layer between the alloy and the crystalline surface of the substrate. The semiconductor alloy may be prepared to have a lattice parameter (a′) that is related to the lattice parameter (a). The semiconductor alloy may further be prepared to have a selected band gap. | 03-03-2011 |

The methods include, but are not limited to, providing a substrate having a cubic crystalline surface with a known lattice parameter and growing a cubic crystalline group III-nitride alloy layer on the cubic crystalline substrate by coincident site lattice matched epitaxy. The cubic crystalline group III-nitride alloy may be prepared to have a lattice parameter (a′) that is related to the lattice parameter of the substrate (a). The group III-nitride alloy may be a cubic crystalline In | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110147791 | GROWTH OF COINCIDENT SITE LATTICE MATCHED SEMICONDUCTOR LAYERS AND DEVICES ON CRYSTALLINE SUBSTRATES - Methods of fabricating a semiconductor layer or device and said devices are disclosed. The methods include but are not limited to providing a substrate having a crystalline surface with a known lattice parameter (a). The method further includes growing a crystalline semiconductor layer on the crystalline substrate surface by coincident site lattice matched epitaxy, without any buffer layer between the crystalline semiconductor layer and the crystalline surface of the substrate. The crystalline semiconductor layer will be prepared to have a lattice parameter (a′) that is related to the substrate lattice parameter (a). The lattice parameter (a′) maybe related to the lattice parameter (a) by a scaling factor derived from a geometric relationship between the respective crystal lattices. | 06-23-2011 |

| 20090045074 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR REMOVAL OF IONS FROM A POROUS ELECTRODE THAT IS PART OF A DEIONIZATION SYSTEM - An electrode for use in a deionization apparatus includes a conductive material that is in a granular form and is arranged in a layer that is defined by a first face and a second face. The electrode includes a substrate that is disposed against the first face, and a first member that is disposed against the second face and is formed to permit a fluid to pass through the first member and into contact with the granular conductive material to permit absorption of ions by the granular conductive material. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20090212262 | ELECTRODE FOR USE IN A DEIONIZATION APPARATUS AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME - An electrode for use in a deionization apparatus is provided and is formed of (1) at least one polymerization monomer selected from the group consisting of phenol, furfural alcohol, dihydroxy benzenes; trihydroxy benzenes; dihydroxy naphthalenes and trihydroxy naphthalenes and mixtures thereof; (2) a crosslinker; and (3) a catalyst; or reaction products thereof, together in a carbonized form that is free of a carbon fiber reinforcing agent. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20100059378 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR REMOVAL OF IONS FROM A POROUS ELECTRODE THAT IS PART OF A DEIONIZATION SYSTEM - A method and system for treating a fluid includes an electrode with an outer housing having openings in a side wall thereof, a granular conductive material encapsulated within the outer housing, and an electrical terminal located at least partially within the outer housing and in electrical communication with the granular conductive material, wherein the openings are configured to permit ions in a fluid to be treated to pass there through so as to come into contact with the granular conductive material. The system includes a treatment tank and electrodes within the tank being charged to differing polarities by a voltage source. The method includes applying a first polarity to at least one electrode, oppositely charging one or more of other spaced apart electrodes, and flowing the fluid within the space so as to treat the fluid. | 03-11-2010 |
