Abstract: An improved PCB Rogowski coil addresses the challenges presented by space constraints within circuit interrupters. The disclosed coil comprises a plurality of PCBs that are coupled together, in contrast with known coils constructed from only a single PCB. During a pre-assembly stage, three PCBs are coupled to one another in order to form a partial coil assembly structured to be mounted onto a circuit interrupter primary conductor. After the partial coil assembly is mounted onto the primary conductor, a fourth PCB is connected to the partial coil assembly via press-fit connectors to form a complete coil. In contrast with known PCB Rogowski coils which are structured to be mounted perpendicularly to the primary conductor, the disclosed modular PCB Rogowski coil enables a substantial portion of the PCB surface area to be mounted in parallel to the primary conductor and to thus occupy significantly less space than known PCB Rogowski coils.

Abstract: The present invention provides an OLED with an emissive region comprising a plurality of sets of organic layers, each set comprising a non-continuous emissive layer and a neat non-emissive layer. The present invention also provides an OLED with an emissive region comprising a plurality of sets of organic layers, each set comprising an emissive layer and a neat non-emissive layer, wherein the energy gaps of the emissive layer and the non-emissive layer are not nested. The present invention also provides a method for making OLEDs by depositing on a substrate an anode, a plurality of sets of organic layers, each set comprising an emissive layer and a non-emissive layer wherein each layer is deposited sequentially, and a cathode.

Abstract: The present invention relates to patterning methods for organic devices, and more particularly to patterning methods using a die. A first layer of organic materials is deposited over a substrate, followed by a first electrode layer. A first patterned die having a raised portion is then pressed onto the first electrode layer, such that the raised portion of the first patterned die contacts portions of the first electrode layer. The patterned die is removed, such that the portions of the first electrode layer in contact with the raised portions of the first patterned die are removed. In one embodiment of the invention, a second organic layer is then deposited over the first electrode layer, followed by a second electrode layer. A second patterned die having a raised portion is pressed onto the second electrode layer, such that the raised portion of the second patterned die contacts portions of the second electrode layer.

Abstract: A photoresist mask is provided, having a central region fabricated on an underlying layer. An overhang supported by the central region is separated from the underlying layer by a recessed area. The recessed area has an aspect ratio of at least about 1.5. The mask may be advantageously used to pattern electrodes deposited through the mask by chemical vapor deposition or sputtering, such that there is no significant conductivity across the mask between the patterned electrodes.
