Abstract: Objects of the present invention are to provide a purification process that enables Pd contained in an organic electronics material to be removed effectively, to provide an electroluminescent device middle layer material purified by the process, and to provide an electroluminescent device employing the middle layer material. The present invention relates to a process for purifying an organic electronics material, the process involving treating, with a phosphorus-containing material, an organic electronics material that contains Pd as an impurity so as to remove the Pd.

Abstract: Olefin metathesis polymerization reactions are disclosed, and more particularly ring-opening metathesis polymerization of cyclic olefins with olefinic compounds, such as are derived from seed oils and the like, to form telechelic polymers. In one aspect, a method is provided for carrying out a catalytic ring-opening metathesis polymerization reaction, comprising contacting at least one olefinic compound with at least one cyclic olefin, in the presence of a ruthenium alkylidene olefin metathesis catalyst under conditions effective to allow ring-opening metathesis polymerization of the cyclic olefin, whereby the cyclic olefin polymer formed is terminated with the olefinic compound. The invention has utility in the fields of catalysis, organic synthesis, polymer chemistry, and industrial chemistry.

Abstract: The global positioning system (GPS) compass is consisted of three main units. These units are the pointer, the sensor, and the controller. The pointer unit is comprised of an iron frame, an aluminum bar, and two aluminum plates. The sensor unit is comprised of global positioning system (GPS) receivers and global positioning system (GPS) antennas. The controller unit includes a personal computer, a stepping motor, several data interface circuit boards, and some motor control circuit boards. The baseline of the pointer is an aluminum bar of about one meter long. The sensor unit can measure the baseline's azimuth angle relative to the local coordinate. When command is received, the controller unit is capable of turning the aluminum bar to the desired direction by the aid of the stepping motor. There are two modes for operation available. One is the initial mode, the other is the normal mode. It takes about one or two minutes to complete the initial mode operation.
