Abstract: The present application relates to thin film transistors having a semiconducting channel comprising a network of carbon nanotubes that are electrically coupled to a source electrode and a drain electrode and electrically insulated from, but capacitively coupled to, a gate electrode, wherein a polymeric layer encapsulates the carbon nanotubes. The polymeric layer can comprise a first monomeric unit and optionally a second monomeric unit, wherein the first monomeric unit, the second monomeric unit and the relative amounts thereof are optionally selected to provide at least one target electrical property of the thin film transistor. The present application also relates to methods for manufacturing such thin film transistors as well as a methods of selecting a polymeric layer to provide a desired threshold voltage for such thin film transistors.

Abstract: An electronic device for sensing a target analyte in a gas, liquid or vapor sample, the device has at least two sensing elements, each sensing element having an exposed layer of a transduction material supported on a dielectric substrate. The dielectric substrate of at least one of the sensing elements is made of a different dielectric material than the dielectric substrate of at least one other of the sensing elements. The different dielectric materials providing a different sensing response according to one or more transduction modes. The plurality of sensing elements in the device yield a specific transduction pattern for a specific target analyte in a gas, liquid or vapor sample.

Abstract: An implant insertion tool or tools interact with a user interface provided by a computer to guide the operator to insert the implant at a desired location and trajectory. The user interface may guide an operator through a registration process, a process for positioning the tip of the implant at the desired location, and a process for aligning the implant to have the desired insertion trajectory. The implant may be a medical implant such as a K-wire that is inserted into a bone, such as the glenoid of a scapula during shoulder arthroplasty or reverse arthroplasty.
