Abstract: A method of manufacturing an organic photovoltaic device of a pre-defined shape and size is provided. The method includes providing a first substrate with said pre-defined shape and size, the size being less than 900 square centimeters and depositing an organic photoactive layer on said first substrate followed by depositing an electrically conducting layer on said organic photoactive layer. Thereafter, said electrically conducting layer and said organic photoactive layer are scribed from said first substrate forming zones on first substrates, whereby forming an active substrate. Further, providing a second substrate with said pre-defined shape and size and depositing a gas-absorbent layer on said second substrate whereby forming an inactive substrate. Finally, encapsulating said active substrate with said inactive substrate to form said organic photovoltaic device with said pre-defined shape and size, whereby not involving cutting of said first substrate after deposition of said organic photoactive layer.

Abstract: An optical disc with uniform appearance, a method and system for manufacturing an optical disc, and a method and system for printing on an optical disc are provided. The optical disc includes a hub area formed between a first inner radius and a first outer radius, and a data area formed between a second inner radius and a second outer radius. The hub area and the data area include grooves and lands formed between a predetermined radius and the second outer radius. The predetermined radius lies at the first inner radius or between the first inner radius and the first outer radius. This enables uniform appearance across an area between the predetermined radius and the second outer radius.

Abstract: A storing medium with undifferentiated visual aspect, a method and system for manufacturing a storing medium, and a method and system for printing on a storing medium are provided. The storing medium includes a base substrate and a print substrate onto which one or more labels can be printed. The base substrate includes a first region formed between a first inner periphery and a first outer periphery, and a second region formed between a second inner periphery and a second outer periphery. One or more first tracks are formed in the first region, and one or more second tracks are formed up to a pre-defined periphery from the second outer periphery in the second region. The pre-defined periphery substantially lies at the second inner periphery or between the second inner periphery and the second outer periphery. The first tracks have a first set of undulations formed thereon, and the second tracks have a second set of undulations formed thereon.

Abstract: An article involving encapsulation of one or more hygroscopic materials and manufacturing method and system thereof are provided. The article includes a first substrate, a second substrate, one or more first structures formed at a first periphery associated with the first substrate, and one or more second structures formed at a second periphery associated with the second substrate. The first structures and the second structures are engaged together mechanically to form an enclosure between the first substrate and the second substrate. The enclosure is capable of preventing exposure of a hygroscopic material encapsulated between the first substrate and the second substrate to the surrounding environment.

Abstract: The invention provides for a method of manufacturing a stamper for embossing data on an optical disc comprising the steps of printing the data to be embossed directly on a glass master to form a printing layer; sputtering of metal or alloy on said printing layer; forming a layer of metal or alloy on the sputtered layer, separating the metal or alloy layers from the glass to form a stamper.

Abstract: A radiation image-able data storage medium according to one exemplary embodiment is provided in the present disclosure that includes a substrate having at least one diffractive feature formed on a surface of the substrate. The radiation image-able data storage medium may also include a radiation-sensitive layer that may be coupled to the substrate.

Abstract: A simple, economic wet chemical procedure is described for making sol-gel fibers. The sol-gel fibers made from this process are transparent to ultraviolet, visible and near infrared light. Light can be guided in these fibers by using an organic polymer as a fiber cladding. Alternatively, air can be used as a low refractive index medium. The sol-gel fibers have a micro pore structure which allows molecules to diffuse into the fiber core from the surrounding environment. Chemical and biochemical reagents can be doped into the fiber core. The sol-gel fiber can be used as a transducer for constructing an optical fiber sensor. The optical fiber sensor having an active sol-gel fiber core is more sensitive than conventional evanescent wave absorption based optical fiber sensors.
