| 20140182776 | Methods For Producing Rectangular Seeds For Ingot Growth - A method of producing rectangular seeds for use in semiconductor or solar material manufacturing includes connecting an adhesive layer to a top surface of a template, the template including a plurality of parallel slots, and drawing alignment lines on the adhesive layer, the alignment lines aligned with at least some of the parallel slots. The method also includes connecting quarter sections to the alignment layer such that an interface between a rectangular seed portion and a curved wing portion of each quarter section is aligned with at least one of the alignment lines drawn on the adhesive layer, and slicing each of the quarter sections to separate the rectangular seed portions from the curved wing portions. | 07-03-2014 |
| 20140186486 | Apparatus For Producing Rectangular Seeds - An apparatus for producing rectangular seeds for use in semiconductor or solar material manufacturing includes a template having a top surface and parallel slots, and an adhesive layer connected to the top surface of the template. The adhesive layer includes alignment lines aligned with the parallel slots. The apparatus also includes quarter sections made of a semiconductor or solar material and connected to the alignment layer. An interface between a rectangular seed portion and a curved wing portion of each quarter section is aligned with at least one of the alignment lines. A wire web is adapted to slice through the interface of each quarter section to separate the rectangular seed portions from the curved wing portions to produce rectangular seeds. | 07-03-2014 |

| 20150064711 | ASSAY LABEL - This invention relates to an assay label comprising an amorphous carbon particle, a functionalised dextran polymer attached to the surface of the carbon particle and a first member of a complementary binding pair covalently bonded to the functionalised dextran polymer. The invention also provides a device incorporating the assay label, which further comprises a radiation source adapted to generate a series of pulses of electromagnetic radiation at a wavelength such that the absorption of the radiation by the label generates energy by non-radiative decay; a sample chamber containing a transducer having a pyroelectric or piezoelectric element and electrodes which is capable of transducing energy generated by non-radiative decay into an electrical signal; and a detector which is capable of detecting the electrical signal generated by the transducer. | 03-05-2015 |
