| 20090007500 | MODULAR STRUCTURAL SYSTEM - A modular structural system includes a hub in the general shape of a polygon, such as a hexagon or octagon, which may be somewhat rounded or may have a regular shape. The system includes a plurality of other structural members, such as hub spokes, for interfacing adjacent the hub, and leg spokes, for interfacing with the hub or with the hub spokes. The system also includes cross braces for providing additional support between the hub spokes and leg spokes. The hub, the hub spokes, leg spokes, and cross braces are joined by bores in the individual pieces and a plurality of dowels or rods placed into the bores. From these modular pieces, and currently available structural members, many useful and recreational structures may be assembled and then disassembled, such as frames, garden structures, furniture, shelving, and the like. | 01-08-2009 |

| 20140245948 | METHOD TO PROVIDE A PATTERNED ORIENTATION TEMPLATE FOR A SELF-ASSEMBLABLE POLYMER - A graphoepitaxy template to align a self-assembled block polymer adapted to self-assemble into a 2-D array having parallel rows of discontinuous first domains extending parallel to a first axis, mutually spaced along an orthogonal second axis, and separated by a continuous second domain. The graphoepitaxy template has first and second substantially parallel side walls extending parallel to and defining the first axis and mutually spaced along the second axis to provide a compartment to hold at least one row of discontinuous first domains of the self-assembled block copolymer on the substrate between and parallel to the side walls, and separated therefrom by a continuous second domain. The compartment has a graphoepitaxial nucleation feature arranged to locate at least one of the discontinuous first domains at a specific position within the compartment.

| 20150020804 | ANALYSIS AND CONTROL OF AEROSOL FLOW - An aerosol generation system has a light source arrangement which provides signals at first and second wavelengths, and the detected light signals are recorded. The detected signals are processed to derive at least a measure of the aerosol particle size. This can be used in combination with the other parameters which are conventionally measured, namely the aerosol density and flow velocity. Thus, optical measurement (possibly in combination with an air flow measurement) can be used to estimate the aerosol output rate as well as the particle size. | 01-22-2015 |
| 20150205197 | METHODS FOR PROVIDING LITHOGRAPHY FEATURES ON A SUBSTRATE BY SELF-ASSEMBLY OF BLOCK COPOLYMERS - A method of designing an epitaxy template to direct self-assembly of a block copolymer on a substrate into an ordered target pattern involves providing a primary epitaxy template design and then varying the design to optimize a pattern fidelity statistic, such as placement error, relative to the target pattern by modelling predicted self-assembled block copolymer patterns and optimizing pattern placement as a function of a varied design parameter. In addition to varying a design parameter to optimize the pattern fidelity statistic, a random error in the template design is included prior to modelling predicted patterns in order to compensate for expected template inaccuracy in practice. The inclusion of a realistic random error in the template design, in addition to systematic variation of a design parameter, may improve the template design optimization to render the result less sensitive to error which may be inevitable in practice. | 07-23-2015 |
| 20150380299 | METHODS FOR PROVIDING SPACED LITHOGRAPHY FEATURES ON A SUBSTRATE BY SELF-ASSEMBLY OF BLOCK COPOLYMERS - A method of forming a plurality of regularly spaced lithography features, e.g. contact holes, including: providing a trench on a substrate, the trench having opposing side-walls and a base, with the side-walls having a width therebetween, wherein the trench is formed by photolithography including exposing the substrate using off-axis illumination whereby a modulation is provided to the side-walls of the trench; providing a self-assemblable block copolymer having first and second blocks in the trench; causing the self-assemblable block copolymer to self-assemble into an ordered layer in the trench, the layer having first domains of the first block and second domains of the second block; and selectively removing the first domain to form at least one regularly spaced row of lithography features having the second domain along the trench. | 12-31-2015 |
