Abstract: Disclosed herein are organic photosensitive devices including at least one exciton-blocking charge carrier filter. The filters comprise a mixture of at least one wide energy gap material and at least one electron or hole conducting material. As described herein, the novel filters simultaneously block excitons and conduct the desired charge carrier (electrons or holes).

Abstract: A vehicle seat has an energy-absorbing device connected to a transverse support member of the seat frame. The device has a plurality of rib members configured to plastically deform in response to an impact between an object and the device, thereby absorbing energy from the object. The device has a shell portion with a pair of intersecting side walls having a generally U-shaped profile defining a recess, and the rib members are connected to each of the side walls within the recess. The shell portion is one piece, and the shell portion and rib members are formed of molded plastic. Each rib member is equally spaced within the recess.

Abstract: The disclosure describes a moving receiver station capable of receiving broadcast entertainment signals from a first geostationary satellite associated with a first program provider, or from a second geostationary satellite associated with a second program provider. The receiver station is part of an aircraft and includes a tracking antenna and switching and control system that locks the tracking antenna on either the first or second satellite. The switching and control system receives position information, program attribute information and satellite coverage area information to determine when the aircraft is leaving one coverage area and entering another. The switching and control system switches the antenna to the second satellite when the aircraft enters the second coverage area, and limits the availability of received programming based on whether the aircraft is leaving the first coverage area or entering the second coverage area.

Abstract: An apparatus including a transportable housing, including a blower motor therewithin, the housing including fluid mounted within the housing positioned below the blower motor to effect drowning of insects directed into the housing. The housing includes a flexible intake conduit and a rigid outlet conduit. The blower motor is mounted within the housing, with an intake opening positioned and aligned adjacent an interior surface of the top wall of the housing. The flexible conduit optionally utilizes a directional handle rod for positioning of the intake conduit, wherein insect attractant is mounted and laminated within an interior surface of an intake funnel and positioned within the output conduit for directing insect attractant environmentally about the housing for attracting insects for their removal from overhanging trees, shrubs, and the like.
