20110103418 | SUPERLUMINESCENT DIODES BY CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC ETCHING - An optoelectronic device, comprising an active region and a waveguide structure to provide optical confinement of light emitted from the active region; a pair of facets on opposite ends of the device, having opposite surface polarity; and one of the facets which has been roughened by a crystallographic chemical etching process, wherein the device is a nonpolar or semipolar (Ga,In,Al,B)N based device. | 05-05-2011 |
20110170569 | SEMIPOLAR III-NITRIDE LASER DIODES WITH ETCHED MIRRORS - A semipolar {20-21} III-nitride based laser diode employing a cavity with one or more etched facet mirrors. The etched facet mirrors provide an ability to arbitrarily control the orientation and dimensions of the cavity or stripe of the laser diode, thereby enabling control of electrical and optical properties of the laser diode. | 07-14-2011 |
20110216795 | SEMI-POLAR III-NITRIDE OPTOELECTRONIC DEVICES ON M-PLANE SUBSTRATES WITH MISCUTS LESS THAN +/-15 DEGREES IN THE C-DIRECTION - An optoelectronic device grown on a miscut of GaN, wherein the miscut comprises a semi-polar GaN crystal plane (of the GaN) miscut x degrees from an m-plane of the GaN and in a c-direction of the GaN, where −1509-08-2011 | |
20140126200 | WHITE LIGHT SOURCE EMPLOYING A III-NITRIDE BASED LASER DIODE PUMPING A PHOSPHOR - A white light source employing a III-nitride based laser diode pumping one or more phosphors. The III-nitride laser diode emits light in a first wavelength range that is down-converted to light in a second wavelength range by the phosphors, wherein the light in the first wavelength range is combined with the light in the second wavelength range to create highly directional white light. The light in the first wavelength range comprises ultraviolet, violet, blue and/or green light, while the light in the second wavelength range comprises green, yellow and/or red light. | 05-08-2014 |

20090313162 | Utilizing Cash Flow Contracts and Physical Collateral for Energy-Related Clearing and Credit Enhancement Platforms - In accordance with the present invention, a financial instrument for the energy market is created. The financial instrument comprises a derivative instrument related to accounts receivable or accounts payable or both. In a preferred embodiment, the derivative instrument normally consists of two sets of linked swaps. In the first set, the seller exchanges two things with a third party: (i) the right for payment of accounts receivable within a month from the buyer is exchanged for the right to payment of such accounts receivable within a week from the third party; and (ii) the obligation to deliver energy to the buyer is exchanged for the obligation to deliver to the third party. The buyer exchanges the mirror image of those with a third party, to with: (i) the obligation to pay within a month to the seller is exchanged for the obligation to pay within a week to the third party, but the buyer receives financing to offset the cash flow ramifications; and (ii) the obligation to take delivery from the seller is exchanged with the obligation to take delivery from the third party. The swap can further be utilized to net payment obligations under multiple cash and forward commodity transactions between the buyer and the seller. Physical collateral is utilized as margin. In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, the process takes place on a ‘clearing platform’ for such energy transactions. | 12-17-2009 |
20110184891 | UTILIZING CASH FLOW CONTRACTS AND PHYSICAL COLLATERAL FOR ENERGY-RELATED CLEARING AND CREDIT ENHANCEMENT PLATFORMS - In accordance with the present invention, a financial instrument for the energy market is created. The financial instrument comprises a derivative instrument related to accounts receivable or accounts payable or both. In a preferred embodiment, the derivative instrument normally consists of two sets of linked swaps. In the first set, the seller exchanges two things with a third party: (i) the right for payment of accounts receivable within a month from the buyer is exchanged for the right to payment of such accounts receivable within a week from the third party; and (ii) the obligation to deliver energy to the buyer is exchanged for the obligation to deliver to the third party. The buyer exchanges the mirror image of those with a third party, to wit: (i) the obligation to pay within a month to the seller is exchanged for the obligation to pay within a week to the third party, but the buyer receives financing to offset the cash flow ramifications; and (ii) the obligation to take delivery from the seller is exchanged with the obligation to take delivery from the third party.
