Abstract: Provided herein is a method for altering an electronic property of a structure comprising an oxide surface or an oxide surface in electronic communication with the structure, the method comprising providing a covalently-bound film comprising at least one organic acid residue on a portion of the oxide surface so that at least one of the following properties of the structure is modified: (a) the charge carrier injection barrier properties; (b) the charge conductivity properties; (c) the charge transport properties; (d) the work function properties; (e) the sub-threshold slope; and (f) the threshold voltage.

Abstract: A vision system for a vehicle that identifies and classifies objects (targets) located proximate a vehicle. The system comprises a sensor array that produces imagery that is processed to generate depth maps of the scene proximate a vehicle. The depth maps are processed and compared to pre-rendered templates of target objects that could appear proximate the vehicle. A target list is produced by matching the pre-rendered templates to the depth map imagery. The system processes the target list to produce target size and classification estimates. The target is then tracked as it moves near a vehicle and the target position, classification and velocity are determined. This information can be used in a number of ways. For example, the target information may be displayed to the driver, the information may be used for an obstacle avoidance system that adjusts the trajectory or other parameters of the vehicle to safely avoid the obstacle.

Abstract: A woven article comprises a plurality of electrically insulating and/or electrically conductive yarn in the warp and a plurality of electrically insulating and/or electrically conductive yarn in the weft interwoven with the yarn in the warp. A functional yarn in the warp and/or the weft comprises an elongate substrate including at least one electrical conductor and at least one electronic device thereon, wherein the at least one electrical conductor provides directly and/or indirectly an electrical contact for connecting to the electronic device.

Abstract: A character display comprises fifty-nine segments arranged into rows and columns. Twenty eight of the fifty-nine segments define a periphery of the display, eleven additional segments define horizontal and vertical dividers that define four quadrants, and five additional segments are disposed in each of the four quadrants to define diagonals thereof.

Abstract: A red-emitting strontium-calcium sulfide phosphor doped with europium and a halide. These phosphors are made by combining their insoluble sulfates, adding europium as an activator, firing in hydrogen sulfide to form the corresponding sulfides, adding a halide co-activator and firing in nitrogen. The resulting phosphors can be used with various electroluminescent devices to produce colored or white light.
