The top coats are soluble in aqueous weak base and can change surface energy once they are deposited onto the block copolymer thin film. The use of self-assembled block copolymers to produce advanced lithographic patterns relies on their orientation control in thin films. Top coats potentially allow for the facile orientation control of block copolymers which would otherwise be quite challenging. | 10-24-2013 |
20130344242 | Anhydride Copolymer Top Coats for Orientation Control of Thin Film Block Copolymers - The use of self-assembled block copolymer structures to produce advanced lithographic patterns relies on control of the orientation of these structures in thin films.

The preferred method to achieve orientation is by heating. The present invention involves the use of polarity-switching top coats to control block copolymer thin film orientation by heating. The top coats can be spin coated onto block copolymer thin films from polar casting solvents and they change composition upon thermal annealing to become “neutral”. Top coats allow for the facile orientation control of block copolymers which would otherwise not be possible by heating alone. | 12-26-2013 |

The system implements these policies by consulting compatibility data associated with the application indicating the intent of the author and level of side-by-side support provided by the application and/or global configuration data. Based on the compatibility data, the system chooses policies that are right in the most common cases, and easy to modify in less common cases.

20100131046 | STENT WITH DRUG COATING WITH VARIABLE RELEASE RATE - A stent is provided with a coating having a variable drug release rate. The release rate can be greater over a curved or bent segment of a strut network as compared to generally linear segments of the strut network. The coating can have a barrier region that is thicker over the generally linear segments. The coating can have a drug mixed with polymers. The curved or bent segment can have a greater amount of a polymer having relatively high drug permeability as compared to the generally linear segments. | 05-27-2010 |
20110008528 | METHOD OF COATING A STENT HAVING VARIABLE DRUG RELEASE RATE - A method of coating a stent may comprise applying a composition including a drug and a polymer to the stent to form a coating. The release rate of the drug from the coating gradually increases along a length of the stent which extends axially from opposite ends of the stent. The variable drug release rate can be accomplished by varying the coating thickness, by applying a barrier region over the drug-containing composition, and/or by having different polymers in the coating, the polymers having different drug permeabilities. | 01-13-2011 |

20090133508 | Biomimetic Tactile Sensor for Control of Grip - Disclosed is a robust tactile sensor array that mimics the human fingertip and its touch receptors. The mechanical components are similar to a fingertip, with a rigid core surrounded by a weakly conductive fluid contained within an elastomeric skin. It uses the deformable properties of the finger pad as part of the transduction process. Multiple electrodes are mounted on the surface of the rigid core and connected to impedance measuring circuitry within the core. External forces deform the fluid path around the electrodes, resulting in a distributed pattern of impedance changes containing information about those forces and the objects that applied them. Strategies for extracting features related to the mechanical inputs and using this information for reflexive grip control. | 05-28-2009 |

20110047086 | Evaluating Environmental Sustainability - A system and method may automatically receive an electronic lease or other agreement document for property and parse the document to identify provisions provided therein. The lease may then be evaluated for various types of provisions to determine an overall quality score. In one example, the quality score may correspond to an environmental sustainability score and include considerations such as sub-metering, water-saving fixtures, LEED certification and the like. In one or more arrangements, provisions may be identified by generating and providing an electronic questionnaire through which a user may specify the applicable terms of the lease. Approval of the lease may be conditioned on a minimum environmental sustainability score as determined by the lease provisions. A system may further suggest ways to improve the environmental sustainability score. | 02-24-2011 |
