20150194242 | Electrostatic Coating with Metallic Nanoparticles by Intrinsic Particle to Surface Interaction - Described are methods for forming thin, pinhole-free conformal metal layers on both conducting and non-conducting surfaces. The formed metal films are useful as seed layers for further deposition of metal using conventional techniques like electroplating, and provide specific advantages for non-conducting surfaces, which are otherwise unsuitable for electroplating without the presence of the formed metal films. Unlike electroplating, the disclosed methods, however, do not require the presence of a voltage or external electric field at the surface, but form the metal films through an electroless technique using electrostatic interactions between negatively charged nanoparticles and a positively charged surface. In addition, the disclosed methods are compatible with solution phase processing and, thus, eliminate the need to transfer the surfaces into a vacuum chamber for a chemical or physical vapor deposition to form a metal layer. | 07-09-2015 |

The individual layers are preferably materials from a single chemical family (e.g., epoxies, polyimides, PBO, etc.) and have similar properties after curing. The dielectric polarizabilities may be adjusted by modifying such factors as chain endcap dipole strength, cross-linker dipole strength, promoter, solvent, and backbone type.

20160042232 | METHOD OF PREDICTING CROP YIELD LOSS DUE TO N-DEFICIENCY - A method for determining the yield loss of a crop using remote sensor data is described. The yield loss is determined using the reflectivity of light by the crop canopy measured from remote sensor data such as an aerial photograph that is digitized and spatially referenced to the field's longitude and latitude. Pixel values from the aerial photograph, expressed relative to pixel values from well fertilized areas of the field, are transformed to yield losses using a linear transformation that was developed using empirical data. A similar method is described to determine recommended nitrogen fertilization rates for the crop fields. The yield loss data is useful for nitrogen fertilization management, as it allows a producer of crops to weigh the expense of fertilization against the loss of revenue due to yield loss. | 02-11-2016 |
