Abstract: The multistage live Lepidoptera containment display system includes a housing defining an observable interior Lepidoptera habitat. A ventilation feature is configured to provide sufficient ventilation within the housing for a Lepidopteran at various life stages including a pupa stage (e.g. chrysalis) and adult stage (e.g. butterfly). A Lepidopteran pupa attachment element is configured to attach a Lepidopteran pupa to an upper area of the housing and within the interior Lepidoptera habitat. A Lepidoptera release mechanism is configured to provide for release of the Lepidopteran from the interior Lepidoptera habitat within the housing after progressing from the pupa stage to the adult stage.

Abstract: A technique of producing one or more electronic switching devices, each switching device comprising a semiconductor channel between two electrodes, and a dielectric element separating said semiconductor channel from a switching electrode, the method comprising: depositing onto a substrate a layer of material for at least partly forming said semiconductor channel or said dielectric element of said one or more switching devices by transferring said material onto said substrate from a rotating first roller.

Abstract: A method is provided to isolated conductive pads on top of a multi-layer polymer device structure. The method utilizes laser radiation to ablate conductive material and create a non-conductive path, electrically isolating the conductive pads. The process is self-limiting and incorporates at least one layer within the stack that absorbs the radiation at the required wavelength. The prevention of radiation degradation of the underlying layers is achieved, as absorption of radiation occurs primarily on the surface of the structure, but not in any of the radiation sensitive underlying layers of the electronic device. The method preferably uses low energy infrared radiation which has been shown to produce little debris and no device degradation.

Abstract: A method for forming an organic or partly organic switching device, comprising: depositing layers of conducing, semiconducting and/or insulating layers by solution processing and direct printing; defining high-resolution patterns of electroactive polymers by self-aligned formation of a surface energy barrier around a first pattern that repels the solution of a second material.
