Electrochemical synthesis of conjugated polymers in ionic liquids, achievement of electroactivity and electrochroism of conjugated polymers in ionic liquids, and the use of the resulting conjugated polymers for the fabrication of electrochromic devices incorporating ionic liquids as electrolytes are ...
A programmable sub-surface aggregating metallization structure (“PSAM”) includes an ion conductor, such as a chalcogenide-glass which includes metal ions and at least two electrodes disposed at opposing surfaces of the ion conductor. Preferably, the ion conductor includes a chalcogenide material wit ...
An inverted PCRAM cell is formed by plating the bottom electrode, made of copper for example, with a conductive material, such as silver. Chalcogenide material is disposed over the plated electrode and subjected to a conversion process so that ions from the plated material diffuse into the chalcogen ...
A system that is usable in a subsea well includes a tubular string that extends from a surface platform toward the sea floor. The string has an upper end and a lower remote end that is located closer to the sea floor than to the platform. At least one sensor of the system is located near the remote ...
The object of the present invention is to provide a cutting tool consisting of a suface-coated high pressure phase type boron nitride sintered compact, having a markedly improved adhesive strength of a hard coated layer to a cBN sintered compact substrate. The feature consists in a surface-coated bo ...
A drill bit for drilling casing in a well bore. The drill bit is constructed from a combination of relatively soft and relatively hard materials. The proportions of the materials are selected such that the drill bit provides suitable cutting and boring of the well bore while being able to be drilled ...
The subject of the invention is a transparent substrate provided with a stack of thin layers acting on solar radiation, the stack including a functional layer made of metal (Nb, Ta, Zr) or the nitride of this metal, and an overlayer made of aluminum nitride or oxynitride and/or silicon nitride or ox ...
A joint between two components (2, 4), with both components (2, 4) having joint faces (6, 8) which at least partially correspond with one another, which at least partially press against one another in the jointed state. The technical problem, on one hand, of preserving the advantages of an adhesive ...
A visible light characteristic changing layer formed from photosensitive or heat-sensitive material is formed in a location which can be viewed from a part of a label surface of an optical disk. The optical disk is set on a turntable of an optical disk unit while the label surface of the optical dis ...
Monazite or xenotime-based blanket coatings that stiffen ceramic fabrics without causing embrittlement at temperatures of at least as high as 2400° F. are provided. Methods for making the coatings are also provided. The methods comprise the synthesis of high purity, monazite and xenotime powders wit ...
