Abstract: The design and fabrication of ultrathin poly-3-hexyl thiophene (P3HT) film based amine sensors are described herein. Ultrathin P3HT monolayer films can be built on a patterned flexible n-octadecylphosphonic acid (ODPA)/Al2O3/PET substrate, forming a flexible polymer thin film transistor according to a solution process. The mechanism of the sensor is based on the interaction of amine molecules with the surface of the P3HT monolayer. The interaction of amine molecules with the surface of the P3HT monolayer can affect the current density of the PTFT, and the change in current density can indicate the presence of amine molecules in the surroundings. The amine sensors described herein can easily detect amine molecules in a parts per billion (ppb) range. The amine sensors can be utilized, for example, as disposable sensors within food packaging to ensure the safety of the packaged food.

Abstract: The design and synthesis of six nickel charge transfer (CT) complexes are described herein. The six nickel CT complexes have a nickel center, two organic ligands coordinated with the nickel center to form a dianionic square planar supramolecule and an organic counter-cation. The ligands and counter-cations are selected to optimize properties, such as molecular alignment, film morphology, and molecular packaging. Described herein, the ligands can be 2,3-pyrazinedithiol (L1), 1,2-benzenedithol (L2) or 2,3-quinoxalinedithol (L3) and the counter-cations can be diquat (2,2?-ebpy) or methyl viologen (4,4?-mbpy). The six nickel CT complexes can also be utilized semiconductor devices, such as thin film transistors or inverters. Processes are also provided for the fabrication of semiconductors devices. The processes can include fabricating a substrate with a bilayer octadecylphosphonic acid (ODPA)/Al2O3 dielectric and applying one of the six nickel charge transfer (CT) complexes to the substrate.

Abstract: A system and method to provide cross-paging between circuit and packet data networks includes providing a mobile station being on a circuit-switched communication in a first area while maintaining a packet data session on the packet data network. When the mobile station moves to a second location area served by the circuit-switched network while the mobile station is still idle with respect to packet communications on the packet data network the location of the mobile station with respect to the circuit-switched network becomes unknown by the packet data network. In this case, the circuit-switched network informs the packet data network of a change in the mobile switching center serving the mobile station.

Abstract: The present invention provides an electronic card connector, and intends to arrange one single testing terminal which forms a testing circuit together with an inherent conductive terminal of the electronic card connector, thereby obtaining a testing function which must be done by using two insertion pins in the prior art. Due to omitting one testing terminal, the volume of the electronic card connector is further reduced, and product assembly becomes more simply and opera table, thereby improving product efficiency, and greatly lowing manufacturing cost.

Abstract: Each user can contribute to an original search and to refining the results of the search. Preferences of all of the users are considered in the search even while those preferences can be kept private. In some embodiments of the present invention, at least two users each submit a search query. The multiple search queries are logically combined to produce one set of search results. The results can be reviewed by the users and refined if necessary. In some embodiments, a search query can be specified by a single user, but the search engine takes into consideration the stored preferences of multiple users (in addition to the search query itself, of course).

Abstract: Various embodiments are described for supporting mobility in an inter-technology network. Such a network (300, e.g.) includes multiple interconnected access networks, utilizing various access technologies, and perhaps having overlapping, but non-aligned coverage areas. The prior art relies on remote units to originate registration signaling as they move from one service coverage area or registration region to the next, for each of the various access networks. In contrast, embodiments of the present invention utilize network originated signaling to update overlapping networks/network nodes of mobility events of which one access network (120-122, e.g.) is aware but of which other access networks (130, 131 and 133, e.g.) may not be aware.

Abstract: An advanced structural foam molding technology for improving the dispersion of the blowing agent in the polymer matrix has been invented. This technological innovation is an improvement on the well-known existing low-pressure structural foam molding technology based on the preplasticating-type (so called piggy-bag) injection-molding machines. By introducing means for continuing the polymer matrix melt flow stream, preferably an additional accumulator and a gear pump, the processing conditions become more consistent to disperse the injected gas more uniformly in the polymer matrix. By using this technology, the structural foams have a smaller cell size, a more uniform cell structure, a larger void fraction (i.e., more material saving), less surface swirl, and less weld line contrast.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed to provide inter-packet-node paging between communication networks. The networks recognize whether inter-network paging is supported therebetween and advertise overlapping codes between networks having adjacent location areas. When the mobile station moves from the first network to the second network, the first network determines whether the second network shares an overlapping code therewith. If the networks share an overlapping code, the first network sends a paging request to the second network including link configuration information and the notification for the mobile station, wherein the notification can be delivered to mobile station in the second location area of the second communication network without the mobile station having to register in the second communication network.
