  • Patent number: 9793431
    Abstract: The optoelectronic device (1) comprises a substrate (2), a light-emitting member (3) comprising an elongate element (4) extending in a direction forming an angle with the substrate (2). An intermediate element (5) is interposed between the substrate (2) and a longitudinal end of the elongate element (4) closest to the substrate (2). Furthermore, the substrate (2) is transparent to said light and the intermediate element (5), transparent to said light, comprises at least one nitride of a transition metal, and has a thickness less than or equal to 9 nm.

  • Patent number: 9251709
    Abstract: A vehicle contact warning system includes a detector system, a controller and a warning indicator. The detector system detects a distance between a remote vehicle and a host vehicle and whether a signal indicator on the remote vehicle is activated. The controller determines whether at least one of a signal indicator on the host vehicle is activated by a driver of the host vehicle and a speed at which the distance between the host vehicle and the remote vehicle is decreasing is greater than a predetermined speed. The warning indicator notifies the driver of the host vehicle upon the detector system detecting the signal indicator on the remote vehicle and the controller determining that at least one of the signal indicator of the host vehicle is activated and the speed at which the distance between the host vehicle and the remote vehicle is decreasing is greater than the predetermined speed.

  • Publication number: 20150279672
    Abstract: The process for growing at least one semiconductor nanowire (3), said growth process comprising a step of forming, on a substrate (1), a nucleation layer (2) for the growth of the nanowire (3) and a step of growth of the nanowire (3). The step of formation of the nucleation layer (2) comprises the following steps: deposition onto the substrate (1) of a layer of a transition metal (4) chosen from Ti, V, Cr, Zr, Nb, Mo, Hf, Ta; nitridation of at least a part (2) of the transition metal layer so as to form a transition metal nitride layer having a surface intended for growing the nanowire (3).
