20110305975 | CATALYTIC PARTICULATE SOLUTION FOR A MICRO FUEL CELL AND RELATED METHOD - A catalytic particulate solution is provided for a micro fuel cell. The solution includes a suspension of catalytic nanoparticles in a solvent and a polymerizable oligomer. Also presented is a method for depositing such a catalytic particulate solution that includes a step of depositing the particulate solution onto a substrate, during which the oligomer polymerization is primed, for example, using UV lighting. | 12-15-2011 |
20110233693 | ELECTROMECHANICAL TRANSDUCER DEVICE AND METHOD OF FORMING A ELECTROMECHANICAL TRANSDUCER DEVICE - A micro or nano electromechanical transducer device formed on a semiconductor substrate comprises a movable structure which is arranged to be movable in response to actuation of an actuating structure. The movable structure comprises a mechanical structure comprising at least one mechanical layer having a first thermal response characteristic and a first mechanical stress response characteristic, at least one layer of the actuating structure, the at least one layer having a second thermal response characteristic different to the first thermal response characteristic and a second mechanical stress response characteristic different to the first mechanical stress response characteristic, a first compensation layer having a third thermal response characteristic and a third mechanical stress characteristic, and a second compensation layer having a fourth thermal response characteristic and a fourth mechanical stress response characteristic. The first and second compensation layers are arranged to compensate a thermal effect produced by the different first and second thermal response characteristics of the mechanical structure and the at least one layer of the actuating structure such that movement of the movable structure is substantially independent of variations in temperature and to adjust a stress effect produced by the different first and second stress response characteristics of the mechanical structure and the at least one layer of the actuating structure such that the movable structure is deflected a predetermined amount relative to the substrate when the electromechanical transducer device is in an inactive state. | 09-29-2011 |
