20100163096 | Economic solar electricity panel system - Economical sunlight collection panels are constructed to minimize the cost to generate electricity from solar radiation. The panels use a plurality of fixed plastic linear lenses to collect sunlight over a wide arc of solar movement and concentrate the collected light onto a plurality of relatively expensive narrow strips of photovoltaic material. The photovoltaic strips are moved in an arculate path and maintained parallel to the lenses so that the lines of light concentrated by the lens remain on the strips and produce electricity over a wide portion of the sun's path across the sky, even though the area of the photovoltaic strips is minimized for economy. | 07-01-2010 |

20080319476 | Hemostatic mineral compositions and uses thereof - The invention generally relates to compositions and methods for promoting hemostasis and sealing a wound by producing an adhesive cast. In particular, the invention provides compositions comprising clay minerals with specified particle sizes, which, when applied to a bleeding area, allow for a desired result in at least one of the following activities: stopping blood flow from a wound, forming a cohesive mass, sealing a wound, promoting coagulant activity, sorbing a body fluid, and adhering to tissue. For example, the desired result can be sealing the wound using an adhesive cast made of clay minerals mixed with blood or other wound fluids. | 12-25-2008 |

20130117075 | PROJECT COMPLIANCE ASSESSMENT - Compliance of a project is assessed by generating a graph including nodes representing attributes of the project, and populating a subset of nodes in the graph with attribute values of the project. A rule applicable to the subset of nodes is identified and applied to determine whether the attribute values comply with the rule. | 05-09-2013 |
20130179937 | SECURITY MODEL ANALYSIS - A customized security model template is created that is customized for a specific organization's security related procedures. The customized security model template is instantiated with parameters associated with the organization to create an instantiated security model, and a report is produced based on simulations of the instantiated security model that specifies metrics of the organization's security implementation. | 07-11-2013 |
20140337971 | COMPUTER INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY MANAGEMENT - A mapping system is provided that makes use of security data collected from various data sources. Following appropriate pre-processing, the mapping system analyses the security data to provide estimated values for parameters in a security model, the security model in turn being based on one or more mathematical representations. | 11-13-2014 |

20120153301 | III-V SEMICONDUCTOR STRUCTURES INCLUDING ALUMINUM-SILICON NITRIDE PASSIVATION - A semiconductor structure includes a semiconductor layer that is passivated with an aluminum-silicon nitride layer. When the semiconductor layer in particular comprises a III-V semiconductor material such as a group III nitride semiconductor material or a gallium nitride semiconductor material, the aluminum-silicon nitride material provides a superior passivation in comparison with a silicon nitride material. | 06-21-2012 |
20120156836 | METHOD FOR FORMING III-V SEMICONDUCTOR STRUCTURES INCLUDING ALUMINUM-SILICON NITRIDE PASSIVATION - A method for fabricating a semiconductor structure includes forming a semiconductor layer over a substrate and forming an aluminum-silicon nitride layer upon the semiconductor layer. When the semiconductor layer in particular comprises a III-V semiconductor material such as a group III nitride semiconductor material or a gallium nitride semiconductor material, the aluminum-silicon nitride material provides a superior passivation in comparison with a silicon nitride material. | 06-21-2012 |
20120156895 | CHEMICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION PROCESS FOR ALUMINUM SILICON NITRIDE - A chemical vapor deposition method for forming an aluminum-silicon nitride layer upon a substrate uses an aluminum precursor, a silicon precursor and a nitrogen precursor under chemical vapor deposition conditions to deposit the aluminum-silicon nitride layer upon the substrate. The aluminum-silicon nitride layer has an index of refraction interposed between silicon nitride and aluminum nitride. The aluminum-silicon nitride layer also has a bandgap from about 4.5 to about 6 eV and a permittivity from about 6×10̂-11 to about 8×10̂-11 F/m. The aluminum-silicon nitride layer may be further thermally annealed to reduce a hydrogen content of the aluminum-silicon nitride layer. | 06-21-2012 |
20130153963 | GATED III-V SEMICONDUCTOR STRUCTURE AND METHOD - A gated III-V semiconductor structure and a method for fabricating the gated III-V semiconductor structure includes a threshold modifying dopant region within a III-V semiconductor barrier layer at the base of an aperture through a passivation layer that otherwise passivates the III-V semiconductor barrier layer. The passivation layer, which may comprise an aluminum-silicon nitride material, has particular bandgap and permittivity properties that provide for enhanced performance of a III-V semiconductor device that derives from the III-V semiconductor structure absent a field plate. The threshold modifying dopant region provides the possibility for forming both an enhancement mode gated III-V semiconductor structure and a depletion mode III-V semiconductor structure on the same substrate. The threshold modifying dopant region when comprising a magnesium (Mg) threshold modifying dopant may be incorporated into the gates III-V semiconductor structure using a dicyclopentadienyl magnesium (Cp2Mg) vapor diffusion method or a magnesium-silicon nitride (MgSiN) solid state diffusion method. | 06-20-2013 |

20130033895 | Thin Edge-Lit LED Backlight Panel and Light Guide - A backlight sufficiently bright to be useful as a backlight for a high definition LCD television panel, or other types of visual display screens is disclosed. An LED wide enough to provide adequate light energy is used. The light energy is directed into a thin substrate panel via a tapered aperture port, and released toward a viewing surface in a uniform manner due to light guide disrupters calculated to optimize the output pattern. | 02-07-2013 |
