Abstract: An embodiment of the invention is a water soluble chain-extended polyamine product made by a process comprising reacting a multi-arm polyether amine with a bifunctional crosslinker of the formula: X1—R—X2. Another embodiment is a water soluble chain-extended polyamine product made by a process comprising reacting a multi-arm polyether having at least three arms and three electrophilic endgroups with a primary diamine crosslinker of the formula: NH2—R2—NH2, followed by treating of the chain-extended product so as to convert the remaining electrophilic endgroups to amine endgroups. Crosslinking of the chain-extended polyamine products with an oxidized polysaccharide provides useful tissue adhesives with modified elasticity, that provides greater compliance to underlying tissue, and improved stability in aqueous environments.
Abstract: Overcoating layer compositions are provided that are applied above a photoresist composition including for immersion lithography processing as well as non-immersion imaging.
Abstract: Silicon containing substrates are coated with nickel. The nickel is coated with a protective layer and the combination is heated to a sufficient temperature to form nickel silicide. The nickel silicide formation may be performed in oxygen containing environments.

Abstract: A light extraction encapsulant sheet having a patterned encapsulant region is disclosed. A method of making that light extraction encapsulant sheet and of affixing that light extraction encapsulant sheet to a luminous stack surface of a multi-layer stack is also disclosed.
Abstract: Methods of light induced plating of nickel onto semiconductors are disclosed. The methods involve applying light at an initial intensity for a limited amount of time followed by reducing the intensity of the light for the remainder of the plating period to deposit nickel on a semiconductor.
Abstract: Semiconductors are textured with aqueous solutions containing non-volatile alkoxylated glycols, their ethers and ether acetate derivatives having molecular weights of 170 or greater and flash points of 75° C. or greater. The textured semiconductors can be used in the manufacture of photovoltaic devices.
Abstract: An improved automatic feedback control scheme enhances plasma spraying of powdered material through reduction of process variability and providing better ability to engineer coating structure. The present inventors discovered that controlling centroid position of the spatial distribution along with other output parameters, such as particle temperature, particle velocity, and molten mass flux rate, vastly increases control over the sprayed coating structure, including vertical and horizontal cracks, voids, and porosity. It also allows improved control over graded layers or compositionally varying layers of material, reduces variations, including variation in coating thickness, and allows increasing deposition rate. Various measurement and system control schemes are provided.
