Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a magnetic multilayer composite that may include a core substrate layer, an outer magnetic layer overlying a first surface of the core substrate layer, and an inner magnetic layer underlying a second surface of the core substrate layer. The composite may include a magnetic volume ratio VM/VS of at least about 0.005, where VM is equal to the total volume of magnetic material in the composite and VS is the total volume of substrate. The composite may further include a permeability rating (X, Y), where the permeability rating (X, Y) is equal to a peak point (X, Y) along a plot of the imaginary part of magnetic permeability (??) of the composite plotted as a function of frequency, where X is within the range of 10 MHz to 10 GHz, and Y is greater than 100.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an antiviral thin film layer that may include a metallic material. The antiviral thin film layer may have a VLT of at least about 60%. The antiviral thin film layer may further have an influenza A subtype H1N1 antiviral rating (H1N1 antiviral rating) of not greater than about 360 minutes, where the H1N1 antiviral rating is defined as the amount of time required for H1N1 viral activity on a surface of the metallic layer to drop from an initial test concentration placed on the surface of the thin film layer to less than 25.0% of the initial concentration placed on the surface as measured using ISO21702.

Abstract: A solar control film can include a multilayer stack including a transparent metal layer and a dark metal layer separated by an interference layer. The solar control film can have an improved solar control factor.

Abstract: Audio files representing files intended primarily for viewing (e.g., by sighted users) are created and organized into hierarchies that mimic those of the original files as instantiated at original websites incorporating such files. Thus, visually impaired users are provided access to and navigation of the audio files in a way that mimics the original website.

Abstract: A system and method for generating audio content. Content is automatically retrieved from a website. The content is converted to audio files. The audio files are associated with a hierarchy. The hierarchy is determined from the website. One or more audio files are communicated to an electronic device utilized by a user in response to a request from the user.

Abstract: A system and method for generating audio content. Content is automatically retrieved from an original website according to a predetermined schedule to generate retrieved content. The retrieved content is converted to one or more audio file. A hierarchy is assigned to the one or more audio files to provide an audible website that mimics a hierarch of the retrieved content as represented at the original website. The audible website is stored in a database for retrieval by one or more users. A first user input is received indicating an attempt to access the original website. The audible website is indicated as being associated with the original website in response to the user selection. Portion of the audible website are played in response to a second user input.

Abstract: Systems and methods for an audio-based content management, navigation and retrieval system are provided. The system translates and organizes content, for example text, Podcasts, RSS, pictures, video, into audio output, and provides intelligent access to the content for use on the internet, mobile phones, MP3 devices, or other digital devices. A user may listen to and navigate content by listening to streaming audio and performing simple keystroke or audio commands from an Internet enabled or other digital device.

Abstract: A lamp with a faceted spiral reflector and a spiral faceted lens is disclosed. The lamp with spiral reflector and spiral lens yields a smooth circular beam pattern with a perceived sharp beam edge. The source image is well dispersed, and the beam illumination is visually smooth.

Abstract: A method for the heat treatment of oxygenated and lightly doped silicon single crystals provides a conductive silicon substrate which draws off stray currents from adjacent n-channel and p-channel transistors, preventing latch-up in CMOS integrated circuits. A lightly doped oxygenated, single crystal silicon wafer is heated at 1000.degree. to 1150.degree. C. to out-diffuse oxygen from the surface layer. After device fabrication on this denuded surface, the wafer is heated at 450.degree. C. to generate oxygen donors in the bulk of the wafer which then becomes strongly conductive or n-type. The wafer surface will remain lightly doped, either n-- or p-type from the original doping. By suitable masking during the oxygen out-diffusion step, islands of lightly doped p-- or n-type material on the surface may be surrounded by guard rings of strongly conducting n-type material formed in the final heating step at 450.degree. C.

Abstract: A method for making semiconductor integrated circuits which improves and decreases fringing capacitance in semiconductor integrated circuits. An oxygenated, single-crystal silicon lamella is lightly doped, producing an excess of holes, thereby forming a semiconductor substrate. The substrate is used to fabricate semiconductor devices in the usual way, except that density may be slightly increased. After fabrication, the substrate is heated, preferably at 450.degree. C., until resistivity of the substrate has increased so that non-diffused regions of the substrate are substantially non-conductive.

Abstract: A security bar system for physically preventing unwanted opening of a door. The system preferably comprises an elongated, rigid, generally cylindrical bar which is adapted to extend in front of the door between a pair of mounting brackets. The door bar terminates at its opposite ends in flange members which are separated from the major length of the bar by reduced diameter segments of predetermined length. The door bar is adapted to axially penetrate, and be restrained by and between, the bracket members. Each bracket member includes a symmetrical slot geometry whereby to permit mounting of the system in either a right or left sided application. A first mounting bracket includes an elongated slot, the center of which is provided with a clearance hole to axially receive one bar flange. The reduced diameter segment of the door bar tracks within the extremities of the slot.
