Abstract: An interconnect is provided that can comprise a recess formed in a body where the recess comprises an axial end wall and a side wall extending from the axial end wall. The interconnect can also comprise a distributed metallized layer disposed on the axial end wall and the side wall and a conductive compliant (CC) plug disposed within the recess to interface with the metallized layer. The CC plug can be configured to establish an electrical connection between a conductive pad disposed on the recess and a male conductive element inserted into the recess via the metallized layer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a highly durable, water resistant, and water and/or oil repellent outdoor textile fabric. The outdoor textile fabric may be prepared by treating the front surface of the textile fabric with an aqueous treatment composition containing a fluorochemical agent and applying a second treatment composition containing a polyurethane to the back surface of the textile fabric. The outdoor textile fabric may be used in a variety of outdoor applications including automotive and marine applications, as a cover, canopy or banner, in military applications, as an awning, tent, umbrella, or in casual outdoor furniture.

Abstract: Photosensor based on SOI technology and display devices comprising the same. The photosensor can be a photodiode or a phototransistor, or a combination thereof when incorporated in a device. The photosensor exhibits a higher photoresponse than a traditional photosensor based on amorphous silicon film or polysilicon thin film technology. The present invention is useful, e.g., in making multifunctional display devices having photosensing function integrated therein.
