  • Publication number: 20210020847
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an organic compound having the following structure, and an organic light emitting diode (OLED) and an organic light emitting device including the organic compound. The organic compound is a bipolar compound having a p-type moiety and an n-type moiety and has high energy level and proper energy bandgap for an emissive layer of the OLED. As the organic compound is applied into the emissive layer, the OLED can maximize its luminous properties as holes and electrons are recombined uniformly over the whole area in an emitting material layer (EML).

  • Publication number: 20210020313
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to generating interactive graphical visualisations of clinical and data. A processor calculates phenotype-to-phenotype similarity value indicative of a similarity between observed phenotypes and each phenotype in a set of stored phenotypes based on an ontology of phenotypes. The processor then determines an assignment of stored phenotypes to observed phenotypes based on the similarity values and further aggregates the similarity values into a set-to-set similarity value indicative of a similarity between the observed phenotypes and the set of stored phenotypes. The processor then repeats these steps to calculate a set-to-set similarity measure for each of the multiple sets. Finally, the processor selects one or more of the multiple sets based on the set-to-set similarity value and generates a graphical user interface comprising a graphical indication of the selected one or more of the multiple sets in relation to the multiple observed phenotypes.

  • Patent number: 10897833
    Abstract: A high efficiency heat sink for the cooling of microelectronic devices involves a phase change from liquid fluid to fluid vapor with a vapor quality of 100%. The liquid fluid is provided to an active area that contains fins having micrometer dimension that support a membrane that is nanoporous. The membrane is effectively impermeable to liquid fluid but permeable to fluid vapor. The heat sink provides very high heat flux and coefficient of heat transfer at low mass flux over a broad range of surface superheat temperatures. The heat sink can be constructed of equi-spaced posts that separate liquid microchannels from vapor microchannels that are connected through capillary forced valves formed between adjacent equi-spaced posts.
