Abstract: A method wherein Type I (i.e., attended) polysomnography may be conducted at a distance from a patient by combining Internet-enabled remote access technologies, audioconferencing, and/or videoconferencing. The study is “virtually” attended by a polysomnography professional at a site removed from the patient whereby the polysomnography professional is able to control the equipment at the patient site and administer multiple Type I, virtually attended polysomnography studies.

Abstract: A low refractive index composition is provided comprising the reaction product of: (i) a cross-linkable polymer; (ii) a multiolefinic crosslinker; and (iii) a plurality of solid nanosilica particles; (iv) a plurality of porous nanosilica particles; (v) an oxysilane having at least one polymerizable functional group and at least one of a hydrolysis and condensation product of said oxysilane; and (vi) a free radical polymerization initiator; wherein the volume percent of the solid nanosilica particles is greater than 0 and less than or equal to about 20; the sum of the volume percent of the solid nanosilica particles and the volume percent of the porous nanosilica particles is less than or equal to about 45; and wherein volume percent is based on the sum of the dry volumes of the cross-linkable polymer, the multiolefinic crosslinker, the solid nanosilica particles and the porous nanosilica particles.

Abstract: A low refractive index composition is provided comprising the reaction product of: a fluoroelastomer having at least one cure site; a multiolefinic crosslinker; an oxysilane having at least one functional group selected from the group consisting of acryloyloxy and methacryloyloxy, and at least one of a hydrolysis and condensation product of the oxysilane; a free radical polymerization initiator; and a plurality of solid nanosilica particles having at least about 20% but less than 100% of reactive silanols functionalized with an unreactive substituent. The present invention further provides a liquid mixture for forming a low refractive index composition, an article including a substrate having an anti-reflective coating, and a method for forming an anti-reflective coating on a substrate.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a photo-imageable composition precursor, the precursor composition comprising: (I) finely divided particles of inorganic material comprising: Functional phase particles selected from electrically conductive, resistive, and dielectric particles; inorganic binder having a glass transition temperature in the range of from 325 to 600° C.
