Publication number: 20160225793Abstract: An indirect bandgap thin film semiconductor circuit can be combined with a compound semiconductor LED such as to provide an active matrix LED array that can have high luminous capabilities such as for a light projector application. In another example, a highly efficient optical detector is achievable through the combination of indirect and direct bandgap semiconductors. Applications can include display technologies, light detection, MEMS, chemical sensors, or piezoelectric systems. An LED array can provide structured illumination, such as for a light and pattern source for projection displays, such as without requiting spatial light modulation (SLM). An example can combine light from separate monolithic light projector chips, such as providing different component colors. An example can provide full color from a single monolithic light projector chip, such as including selectively deposited phosphors, such as to contribute individual component colors to an overall color of a pixel.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2016Publication date: August 4, 2016Inventors: Vincent Wing-Ho Lee, Ioannis Kymissis

Patent number: 9243340Abstract: The present invention describes a method of producing a p-type light-absorbing semiconductor copper zinc tin selenide/sulfide (Cu2(ZnxSn2-x)(SySe1-y)4) (abbreviated CZTS) with electrochemical deposition. It can be used in the production of solar cell when combined with an n-type inorganic or an organic semiconductor layer. The present method comprises a one-step or a sequence of depositions using electroplating to fabricate a low-cost and large-area CZTS solar cell, without using expensive and complicated deposition techniques or highly toxic and flammable chemicals in the production process. The present method significantly reduces the cost and energy requirement for production of solar cell.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2014Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: NANO AND ADVANCED MATERIALS INSTITUTE LIMITEDInventors: Kam Piu Ho, Paul Kwok Keung Ho, Man Wah Liu, Ranshi Wang, Wai Chun Luk, Wing Ho Choi, Fulin Zheng, Kwong Chau Kwok, Mei Mei Hsu, Ivan Ka Yu Lau

Publication number: 20150081438Abstract: The present application presents an improved approach for tracking consumer digital body language. A campaign is assigned to social posts by specifying one or more campaign tags and a tracking URL template. Posts associated with a campaign are created by entering post details and parameters and automatically retrieving the campaign tags. The parameters and template may be used to form a tracking URL to be published with the post. When a consumer clicks on a URL associated with a published post, the tracking URL is read and parsed, so that the tracking information may be read and stored for analysis. In addition, digital body language may be stored for the consumer. The consumer will then be redirected to the destination URL.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2014Publication date: March 19, 2015Applicant: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Michael J.
