  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DISPLAYING AND VIEWING DATA MODELS
    Publication number: 20150161806
    Abstract: A computer program product is tangibly embodied on a computer-readable medium and includes executable code that, when executed, is configured to cause a data processing apparatus to display multiple objects in a single pane, where the multiple objects are visual representations of real objects and the multiple objects are dynamically sized and spaced relative to one another to fit all of the objects in the single pane. The computer program product includes executable code that, when executed, causes the data processing apparatus to display a subset of the objects and associated metadata in an examination frame. The examination frame is sized to fit within the single pane, where the subset of the objects displayed within the examination frame are sized larger than the objects outside of the examination frame.

  • Donor-acceptor DYAD compounds in photovoltaics
    Patent number: 9006567
    Abstract: Methods, compositions and devices relate to photovoltaic cells having a photoactive layer and constituents synthesized and utilized for the photoactive layer. The photovoltaic cells incorporate photoactive materials produced from dyads formed into an initial layer and then thermally cleaved to provide the photoactive layer. Cleavage of the dyads, such as synthesized fullerene anthracen-2-ylmethyl 3-(thiophen-3-yl) acetate dyads, or polymers of the dyads into separate molecules providing donors and acceptors facilitates in obtaining the photovoltaic cells with desired arrangement and interspacing of the donors and the acceptors relative to one another.

  • METHOD OF PRODUCING LAYERS FOR SOLID OXIDE FUEL CELLS
    Publication number: 20150099063
    Abstract: A method of forming layers of a solid oxide fuel cell. The method begins by pumping a volume of a slip form a slip reservoir to a separator reservoir. A separator and a blade are provided upon a carrier to form the separator reservoir with a gap formed between the blade and the carrier. The carrier is operated so that the carrier is transported from the separator to the blade. A layer of slip is then deposited from the separator reservoir onto the carrier. The layer of slip is then dried on the carrier.

  • High throughput physical vapor deposition system for material combinatorial studies
    Patent number: 8944002
    Abstract: An infinitely variable physical vapor deposition matrix system that allows the synthesis of multiple combinatorial catalyst samples at essentially the same time, by the co-deposition of multiple materials, or the sequential layer by layer deposition of multiple catalyst constituents, or both, such that the optimum mix of materials for a pre-determined application can be experimentally determined in subsequent testing. The discovery of optimal catalyst combinations for utilization in specified reactions and devices is facilitated. The high throughput system reduces the time and complexity of processing typically required to formulate and test combinatorial catalyst materials.
