  • Publication number: 20230293890
    Abstract: A medical device is configured to deliver therapeutic electrical stimulation pulses by generating frequency modulated electrical stimulation pulse signals. The medical device includes a pulse signal source and a modulator. The pulse signal source generates an electrical stimulation pulse signal having a pulse width. The modulator may include a high frequency modulator configured to modulate a frequency of the pulse signal from a starting frequency down to a minimum frequency during the pulse width. The modulator may include a low frequency bias generator to modulate the offset of the pulse signal between a minimum offset and a maximum offset in other examples.

  • Patent number: 11744150
    Abstract: Acenes, such as aza-acenes are attractive materials for organic semiconductors, specifically for n-type materials. There are disclosed new derivatives of acenes that are fabricated using novel synthesis. For example, the disclosed fabrication strategies have allowed for the first time new aza-tetracene and aza-pentacene derivatives. The HOMO and LUMO energy levels of these materials are tunable through appropriate substitution and as predicted, deepened. There are also disclosed organic photosensitive devices comprising at least one aza-acene such as aza-tetracene and aza-pentacene.

  • Patent number: 11744097
    Abstract: Arrangements and techniques for providing organic emissive layers are provided, in which the emissive layer includes a first dopant having a dissociative energy level. A second dopant in the emissive layer provides a solid state sink energy level, to which doubly excited excitons and/or polarons may transition instead of to the dissociative energy level, thereby decreasing the undesirable effects of transitions to the dissociative energy level.
