International Classification:

H01L 21/71

US Classification:

438800, 257E21536, 977883

Abstract:

The present invention provides methods and systems for nanowire alignment and deposition. Energizing (e. g. , an alternating current electric field) is used to align and associate nanowires with electrodes. By modulating the energizing, the nanowires are coupled to the electrodes such that they remain in place during subsequent wash and drying steps. The invention also provides methods for transferring nanowires from one substrate to another in order to prepare various device substrates. The present invention also provides methods for monitoring and controlling the number of nanowires deposited at a particular electrode pair, as well as methods for manipulating nanowires in solution.

H03F 345

US Classification:

330310

Abstract:

A low-noise amplifier is disclosed that is capable of amplifying a signal with high gain (e. g. , >60 dB) and low noise (e. g. , 10. sup. 6. OMEGA. ), high common mode rejection and high immunity to external noise sources. An illustrative embodiment of the present invention comprises: a first field-effect transistor having a first lead, a second lead and a third lead; a second field-effect transistor having a first lead, a second lead and a third lead, wherein the first lead of the first field-effect transistor is electrically connected to the first lead of the second field-effect transistor, the second lead of the first field-effect transistor is electrically connected to the second lead of the second field-effect transistor, and the third lead of the first field-effect transistor is electrically connected to the third lead of the second field-effect transistor; and a first bipolar junction transistor having a first lead, a second lead and a third lead, wherein the first lead of the first bipolar junction transistor is electrically connected to the first lead of the first field-effect transistor.

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

Abstract:

A system includes at least one hardware processor in communication with a first computing device of a suspect party and a second computing device of an inquiring party, the suspect party being targeted for trust evaluation by the inquiring party, and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, cause the at least one hardware processor to perform operations. The operations include receiving, from the second computing device, a request to perform a trust evaluation of the suspect party, the request including a permission token, identifying the suspect party based on the permission token, generating a trust result for the suspect party based on financial data associated with the suspect party, the trust result indicating an assessed level of trustworthiness of the suspect party, and transmitting the trust result to the second computing device for display to the inquiring party.
