  • Publication number: 20220297074
    Abstract: A print material container comprising a body to hold print material, a housing, and a detecting member. The housing being coupled to the body and including a movable mass to move in the housing when a shaking force is applied to the print material container. The detecting member to detect the shaking force and to signal a feedback of the shaking force relative to a shaking force threshold.

  • Publication number: 20090224369
    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) substrate (32) comprising a germanium layer (26), an aluminium oxide layer (22), and an interfacial layer (28) provided on the germanium layer between the germanium layer and the aluminium oxide layer, which interfacial layer provides control of electrical properties at an interface between the germanium layer and the interfacial layer. The electrical properties may comprise charge carrier trap density, and the interfacial layer may provide control of the charge carrier trap density to minimise the trap density. The interfacial layer is used to ensure an intimate, high-quality germanium layer—interfacial layer interface. A method manufacturing an IC substrate is also provided, along with a gallium arsenide circuit integrated in a system-on-chip (SOC) comprising an IC substrate, and a germanium electronic circuit in combination with a gallium arsenide circuit, integrated in a system-on-chip—(SOC), comprising an IC substrate.
