Publication number: 20120326103Abstract: Organo-metallic complexes for opto-electronic and sensory devices and their use in such devices are provided. The organo-metallic complex (triplet emitter) consists of a metal center and chelate ligands. At least one of chelate ligands comprises an aromatic or fused aromatic ring(s). Each ligand is covalently substituted with at least one, preferably two charge transport groups (ctg). The metal center can be coordinated by a spectator ligand. Presence of two ctgs at each ligand is advantageous for applications in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). Charge transport units facilitate hole and/or electron transport to the molecular center and allow for efficient exciton formation directly on the complex. Presence of ctgs on each ligand provides good shielding with respect to interactions with the environment. Emission quenching is strongly reduced and materials with high emission quantum yields are obtained.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2010Publication date: December 27, 2012Inventors: Shuk Kwan Mak, Wai Kin Chan, Tobias Fischer, Hartmut Yersin

Patent number: 7418350Abstract: A method and apparatus for estimating a seismic velocity field from seismic data including time-amplitude representations associated with source-receiver locations spaced apart by an offset distance and having a midpoint therebetween, the seismic data being arranged into common midpoint (CMP) gathers associated with respective CMP locations. A control plane having an edge intersecting a plurality of the CMP locations is defined, an initial velocity field for the control plane is produced, the initial velocity field including a plurality of time-velocity values for each of the CMP locations; and an optimized velocity field for the control plane is produced by adjusting the time-velocity values for each of the CMP locations in response to trends, relative to offset distance, in time values, associated with common seismic events, until said optimized velocity field satisfies a condition.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2006Date of Patent: August 26, 2008Assignee: Data Modeling Inc.Inventors: Kerry James Stinson, Shlomo Levy, Wai-Kin Chan, Edward Charles Crase

Patent number: 6660070Abstract: An air purifier includes a cabinet, an electrically driven fan, a replaceable filter element, and an air quality sensor. A display provides a visual indication of the air quality condition. A microprocessor is programmed to control the speed of the fan automatically according to the air quality condition. The microprocessor also computes when the filter element must be changed by totalling the time of operation and its speed (which equals air quality) so that for example the filter element will be changed more often (used for less aggregate time) when the air purifier is operated in a poor quality environment.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2001Date of Patent: December 9, 2003Assignee: Simatelex Manufactory Co., Ltd.Inventors: Chi Cheung Chung, Stephen Wai-Kin Chan, Wing-Chung Li

Patent number: 6382084Abstract: In an otherwise well-known electric pop-up toaster, an auxiliary power switch is provided and is arranged to be opened by a timer after each toasting cycle. This ensures, in contrast to the well-known toaster arrangements, that power is interrupted to heating elements even if a carriage supporting slices of toast fails to move up at the end of a toasting cycle.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2001Date of Patent: May 7, 2002Assignee: Simatelex Manufactory Co., Ltd.Inventors: Stephen Wai-Kin Chan, Wing Chung Li
