Abstract: Inbound call processing systems and methods for processing inbound calls to controlled-environment facility resident media and/or communications devices employ an inbound resident call server configured to host inbound calling accounts established by non-residents, receive inbound calls from the non-residents, route the inbound calls to an authenticating server, confirm that the resident device is active, and connect the inbound resident call system with the resident device if active or inform the non-resident the resident is not available if not. The inbound resident call server also connects the non-resident inbound call with the resident device if the non-resident is associated with the inbound calling account, the inbound calling account is associated with an address identifier of the resident device and the resident's personal identification number is associated with the address identifier of the resident device, all of which may be authenticated by the authenticating server.

Abstract: Hot melt compositions include non-aromatic cyclic (alkyl)acrylates and low acid number waxes. Upon application of actinic radiation, the hot melt compositions cure to form resists. They may be stripped from substrates with high alkaline strippers. The hot melt compositions may be used in the manufacture of printed circuit boards and photovoltaic devices.

Abstract: Substrates, such as printed circuit boards, are coated with an aqueous alkaline developable UV photosensitive material followed by applying an aqueous soluble UV transparent film to coat the UV photosensitive material. An aqueous alkaline strippable UV blocking composition is selectively applied to the surface of the UV transparent film to function as a mask. UV light is applied to portions of the UV photosensitive material not covered by the mask. The UV blocking composition, UV transparent film and selective sections of the UV photosensitive material are simultaneously removed with an aqueous alkaline developer solution to form an image on the substrate.

Abstract: Actinic radiation curable inks are selectively applied to flexible films which allow the transmission of actinic radiation and then are applied such that the side of the flexible films on which the curable inks are applied contact surfaces of three dimensional substrates. Actinic radiation is applied to the flexible films which cause the ink to cure on the three dimensional substrate. The flexible films are removed leaving the cured ink on the substrates.

Abstract: A photovoltaic device includes a substrate, a first electrode, a second electrode, and an active layer between the first electrode and the second electrode. The active layer comprises a polyarylamine biscarbonate ester of Formula (I): wherein Ar1, Ar2, Ar3, Ar4, R, m, y, and n are as described herein. The photovoltaic device can be fabricated in an ambient environment and does not need significant processing.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for preparing colloidal dispersions of precious metal nanoparticles selected from the group consisting of Pt, Au, Pd, Ag, Rh, Ru and mixtures or alloys thereof, and to a method for isolating such precious metal nanoparticles from these colloidal dispersions. The colloidal dispersions are prepared by reducing suitable precious metal precursor compounds in aqueous alkaline solutions at reaction temperatures between 40 and 70° C. and a pH?12.0 in the presence of polysaccharides with average molecular weights (Mw) in the range of 300,000 to 1,000,000. The precious metal nanoparticles are isolated after decomposing the polysaccharide by heating the colloidal dispersions to temperatures >80° C. The nanoparticles can be used for the manufacture of core/shell-type catalyst materials and for electronic, decorative and medical applications.
