  • DOPING CONJUGATED POLYMERS AND DEVICES
    Publication number: 20140217334
    Abstract: Compositions comprising at least one hole transport material, such as a conjugated polymer, and at least one dopant, providing improved thermal stability. Compositions can be applied to substrates and used in HIL and HTL layers and organic electronic devices such as light emitting devices such as OLEDs or OPVs. The conjugated polymer can be a polythiophene, including a 3,4-substituted polythiophene or a regioregular polythiophene. The dopant can be a silver salt such as silver tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate. Improved methods of making dopant are provided.
    Type: Application

  • Silencer for a crossbow
    Patent number: 6651641
    Abstract: A crossbow (10) includes a barrel (11) which carries a bow (13) which includes limbs (15, 16) having outer ends (17, 18). A bowstring (22) is carried between the limb ends (17, 18) and is movable between a relaxed position and a cocked position. When so moving, the cables (23, 24), which are part of a compound rigging system (19), and which extend between the limb ends (17, 18), will want to vibrate causing an undesirable noise. But such is thwarted or otherwise minimized by tubular sheaths (27, 28) positioned around the cables (23, 24) to engage the cables (23, 24).
