A multilayer stack is described. The multilayer stack includes: (i) one or more inorganic barrier layers for reducing transport of gas or vapor molecules therethrough; (ii) an inorganic reactive layer disposed adjacent to one or more of the inorganic barrier layers, and the reactive layer capable of reacting with the gas or the vapor molecules; and (iii) wherein, in an operational state of the multilayer stack, the vapor or the gas molecules that diffuse through one or more of the inorganic barrier layers react with the inorganic reactive layer, and thereby allow said multilayer stack to be substantially impervious to the gas or the vapor molecules.

Inorganic multilayer stack and methods and compositions relating thereto

A barrier layer stack is described. The barrier layer stack includes: (i) a barrier material including defects; (ii) a seal covering the defects of the barrier material; and (iii) wherein, in an operational state of the barrier layer stack, presence of the seal reduces or prevents diffusion of vapor and/or gas molecules through the defects of the barrier material.

Barrier layer stacks and methods and compositions thereof

A plurality of electrodes are electrically coupled to each other by conductive interconnects formed from selectively sintered nanoparticles.

Method to form an interconnect

A barrier film for separating liquid and air, including a liquid crystalline polymer layer having a glass transition temperature less than about 115&#xb0; C., and having a thickness less than about 15 microns. The barrier film further including a heat-sealable layer, and an adhesive layer interposed between the liquid crystalline polymer layer and the heat sealable layer, forming the barrier film.

Flexible barrier film structure

Methods and apparatuses for forming components or circuits by ejecting a fluid including materials in a single ligament are disclosed.

Apparatus for forming a circuit

A method is disclosed for treating an area on a surface to increase affinity for a fluid including organic light emitting diode (OLED) material.

Surface treatment for OLED material

In embodiments, an intensity of light is adjusted according to data indicating the states for elements.

Adjusting light intensity

An ink for use in an inkjet printer and for printing on a polymeric substrate, comprises a swelling agent, selected and provided in sufficient amount to enable said colorant to enter the surface of the substrate, a colorant dispersed or dissolved in the swelling agent, and an inkjet-enabling additive. The swelling agent is selected and provided in sufficient amount to enable the colorant to enter the surface of the substrate.

Inkjet ink for use on polymeric substrate

An optical disc includes an optical disc; a thermally conductive material disposed in a pattern of discrete pads on said disc; and a thermochromic material disposed over said pattern of thermally conductive material. A method of making an optical disc includes indenting a pattern onto an insulator; and depositing a thermally conductive material into indents of said pattern.

Labeling with thermally conductive pads

An optically retro-reflecting sphere includes an inner sphere and an outer concentric spherical shell, and can be coupled to a reflective surface. Light entering the optically retro-reflecting sphere from an incident direction is reflected by the sphere generally towards an exit direction, where the exit direction is parallel and opposite to the incident direction. The inner sphere and outer shell have different refractive indices, selected so that the reflected light is reflected with a non-uniform angular distribution about the exit direction.

Optically retro-reflecting sphere

A method of labeling an object includes selectively applying focused energy to thermally conductive pads on the object to create a label on the object. The conductive pads are disposed adjacent to a thermochromic layer.

Embodiments of methods, apparatuses, devices, and/or systems for forming an interconnect are described.

A fuel cell flow regulator includes a fuel cell fuel flow path, the fuel flow path including a solid-state material for regulating a flow of fuel along the fuel flow path by adsorption.

Regulator and method of regulating fuel flow to a fuel cell by adsorption

Two co-catalysts selected from the transitional metals can be employed in proton exchange membrane fuel cells to catalyze a borohydride anolyte, such that diatomic hydrogen produced on the surface of a particle of a first catalyst is diffused to an adjacent surface of a particle of a second catalyst. At the second catalyst the diatomic hydrogen is catalyzed to produce hydrogen ions, which are employed as the mobile ion transported across the electrolyte concurrent with the generation of electrical current. The apparatus operates without the accumulation of hydrogen gas, except as adhered to the surface of the two catalysts.
