The invention relates to manufacture of OLEDs. In OLEDs, imperfect step coverage of the deposited organic materials will result in a substantially higher electric field at that area, causing breakdown. In some cases, patterned electrodes layer is thicker than the whole organic layer and uncovered electrode areas may get in contact with the metal cathode layer, resulting in short circuits. Also whe...

The present invention provides an improved system for identifying defects in a composite structure by providing a light source such that defects, and in particular dark defects on a dark background and/or light defects on a light background , can be identified by capturing images of the illuminated composite structure. In particular, the improved system for identifying defects in a composite struc...

Methods and arrangements are provided for handling, within a communications system comprising a distributed domain (301) and a central domain (303), electronic records that contain predictions of the outcome of a certain incident. Within the distributed domain (301) there is generated (304), before the outcome of the incident is known, a multitude of electronic records that contain predictions of ...

Transmission (31) is carried out to first terminal requesting pay access (13) to first network central server. Server responds (2) on access code and establishes communication (35) between second terminal (24) and audio sever (6). Part of cost of pay access facto...

Producing an aqueous emulsion of a bituminous binder involves contacting the binder with an aqueous phase at a temperature above 130 deg C under a pressure, such that the aqueous phase remains liquid. A binder, whose interfacial tension with water at 180 deg C is no more than 20 mN/m, and an emulsifier-free aqueous phase are used.

A micromachined gyro inertial sensor has an oscillating system with two moving masses (14, 14') coupled by transverse (26, 26') and longitudinal arms (22, 22') to a independent U shaped flexural arms (13) and electrostatic excitation (11, 11') and detection (11a, 11'a) by interdigital electrodes.

The metallographic sample preparation device comprises a polishing post (8) located next to a vertical magazine (9) supporting polishing plates. Gripping and transport means (10) enable the plate to be transferred between the magazine and the polishing post. There is a pre-polishing post (6) and a cleaning post (7) located between the polishing and pre-polishing posts. A samples door (11) enables ...

A data processing system (20) including a unit (29) producing data elements; data processing members (21) for processing the data elements; and a first data-base (22). A user is provided with at least a part of the content of the data element and the option of selecting the name information of at least one subscriber. The system fetches the address of the subscriber in the telecommunications syste...

In the field of tools for use in boreholes, an apparatus (10) includes a pu mp (11) for circulating fluid under pressure in a wellbore (12). A control device (13) controls the speed of the pump (11). A conduit (1 7) interconnects the pump and the wellbore (12). Within the wellbore a downhole transducer (21) that is capable of detecti ng changes in the pressure of fluid at a downhole location and g...

Aqueous concentrated compositions of an alkali metal salt of rho-iso-±-acids for use as brewing additive are prepared by mixing alkali

The lamp bulb has a filament (5) enclosed in a cylindrical glass bulb (3) and terminating in contacts (10) at each end. A curved metal reflector (13) is attached to the outside of the bulb, parallel to the filament. The profile of the reflector does not necessarily follow the circumference of the bulb, allowing concentration of the light over an arc set by the profile of the reflector.

Une résistance (31) est formée par une pellicule de silicium amorphe, et des siliciures (32a, 32b) sont formés dans des parties de connexion de plots de contact (5a, 5b) dans une partie de surface de la résistance. Du fait que la résistance est en silicium amorphe, un atome d'hydrogène se lie plus difficilement en comparaison avec le cas du silicium polycristallin. Il est donc possible d'obteni...

A process for insulating pipes comprises applying at least one layer of a polyisocyanurate plastic and then at least one layer of rigid polyurethane foam to a steel pipe. The foam is covered with an outer layer.

The rear wheels (8) are mounted in pairs (39) on two sprung trailing links (2) with horizontal axis pivots on the vehicle frame (1).
