  • Patent number: 11748832
    Abstract: Various of the disclosed embodiments concern systems and methods for applying legal analytics. In some embodiments, a legal analytics platform retrieves legal data from an electronic database, analyzes some or all of the legal data, and identifies interesting patterns and results of statistical analyses. In order to permit searching of the legal data, metadata elements or tags can be generated for legal entities and legal events. In some embodiments, the legal analytics platform identifies timestamps in the legal data and performs time-based statistical analysis. Results of the statistical analyses can be presented to a user via a graphical user interface (GUI), which may also allow the user to interact with the legal analytics platform and search one or more databases of legal data.

  • Patent number: 5510644
    Abstract: An improved x-ray detector in the form of a p-i-n CdTe homojunction device is disclosed. The intrinsic ("i") layer is of high resistivity CdTe, while the n- and p-doped CdTe layers are epitaxially grown in a photo-assisted process in a molecular beam epitaxial apparatus. The n-dopant is conveniently indium, with an indium metal contact. The "i" layer is optionally epitaxially grown in a photo-assisted process. The p-dopant is preferably arsenic. A PAMBE formed mercury telluride contact layer enhances the ohmic contact to the p-layer, and a gold contact is provided to the contact layer. The use of the PAMBE technique facilitates high quality crystal growth and activation of the dopants. The resulting CdTe p-i-n homojunction device has a wide band gap (1.45 eV) essential to room temperature operation.

  • Patent number: 5454885
    Abstract: A typical source of cadmium and tellurium is as a by-product of copper mining. Although attempts are made to remove impurities such as copper prior to commercially supplying them for forming material like cadmium telluride, cadmium zinc telluride and cadmium telluride selenide for use as a substrate to support electronic circuitry, processing during formation of the circuitry causes the impurities from the substrate to segregate into the circuitry, resulting in unacceptable electrical performance of the circuitry. A method for purifying the substrate prior to circuitry formation includes forming a sacrificial layer of mercury telluride or mercury cadmium telluride on the substrate, annealing the combination at elevated temperature with an overpressure of mercury and removing the sacrificial layer along with a contiguous portion of the substrate, if desired. The sacrificial layer may be formed by vapor phase type processes or even by liquid phase epitaxy.
