Abstract: The present invention relates to growth of III-V semiconductor nanowires (2) on a Si substrate (3). Controlled vertical nanowire growth is achieved by a step, to be taken prior to the growing of the nanowire, of providing group III or group V atoms to a (111) surface of the Si substrate to provide a group III or group V 5 surface termination (4). A nanostructured device including a plurality of aligned III-V semiconductor nanowires (2) grown on, and protruding from, a (111) surface of a Si substrate (3) in an ordered pattern in compliance with a predetermined device layout is also presented.

Abstract: The present invention relates to semiconductor devices comprising semiconductor nanoelements. In particular the invention relates to devices having a volume element having a larger diameter than the nanoelement arranged in epitaxial connection to the nanoelement. The volume element is being doped in order to provide a high charge carrier injection into the nanoelement and a low access resistance in an electrical connection. The nanoelement may be upstanding from a semiconductor substrate. A concentric layer of low resistivity material forms on the volume element forms a contact.

Abstract: A fishing reel including: a housing with a side plate, a gear stud rotatably disposed relative to the housing to rotate about a first axis, and a main gear concentrically disposed relative to the gear stud. The main gear interacts with another gear to rotate a spool about a second axis. The reel also includes a drag stack concentrically disposed relative to the gear stud, a one way clutch concentrically disposed relative to the gear stud, and a clutch sleeve disposed within and engaging the one-way clutch. The clutch sleeve is constrained to rotate with the gear stud. The reel further includes an adjustment member disposed outside the housing that provides a user interface for adjusting a desired drag, and a drag adjuster that transmits drag adjustments from the adjustment member to the drag stack without axially displacing the clutch sleeve.

Abstract: A fishing reel of the multiplier type has a frame, a shaft rotatably mounted in the frame, a device for braking the shaft, and a line spool mounted on the shaft. A handle is arranged to rotate by a drive mechanism the line spool in a direction of retrieval for rewinding onto the line spool a part, paid out from the line spool, of a line wound onto the same. The line spool is rotatably mounted on the shaft. A freewheeling hub is arranged between the line spool and the shaft so as to allow rotation of the line spool relative to the shaft in the direction of retrieval but prevent rotation of the line spool relative to the shaft in the opposite direction.
