  • Publication number: 20110202468
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for customizing an extensible markup language standard for technical documentation. Preliminary analysis is conducted for a project associated with the extensible markup language specification for technical data. A user interface inputs multiple preliminary decisions based on the preliminary analysis, wherein each of the multiple preliminary decisions corresponds to one of multiple prompts associated with the extensible markup language specification for technical data. The user interface provides access for multiple project representatives to the multiple preliminary decisions. A preliminary decision of the multiple preliminary decisions is converted to a decision based on a user input via the user interface. The user interface may output a report based at least on the decision. A data module may be generated based at least on the decision, wherein the data module may be executed to process technical data associated with the project.

  • Publication number: 20110200293
    Abstract: A multifunctional optical film for enhancing light extraction includes a flexible substrate, a structured layer having nanoparticles of different sizes, and a backfill layer. The structured layer effectively uses microreplicated diffractive or scattering nanostructures located near enough to the light generation region to enable extraction of an evanescent wave from an organic light emitting diode (OLED) device. The backfill layer has a material having an index of refraction different from the index of refraction of the structured layer. The backfill layer also provides a planarizing layer over the structured layer in order to conform the light extraction film to a layer of an OLED display device. The film may have additional layers added to or incorporated within it to an emissive surface in order to effect additional functionalities beyond improvement of light extraction efficiency.
