    Abstract: 19,362. Stewart, D. Oct. 30. Refining sugar.-An apparatus for separating liquids from solids may, according to the Provisional Specification, be used for the separation of sugar crystals from their syrups. The material to be treated is fed upon an endless band B, which consists of wire gauze attached to brackets C', Fig. 8, carrying chains C, and supporting, if necessary, a sheet of fabric which is held in place by clips C'. The faces C' of the clips are connected by flexible bent leather strips, so as to form edges which retain the material on the band. The band passes over vacuum boxes L' and under washing-pipes M and rakes M , and then over heating-boxes or coils P, which dry the solid matter to enable it to be removed by the scraper Q and brush R. The band is finally cleaned by washing-appliances U', and then dried. According to the Provisional Specification, strips of material, or " deckles," may be used instead of the retaining- edges of the band described above.

    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention are related to microresonator systems that can be used as a laser, a modulator, and a photodetector and to methods for fabricating the microresonator systems. In one embodiment, a microresonator system (100) comprises a substrate (106) having a top surface layer (104), at least one waveguide (114,116) embedded within the substrate (106), and a microdisk (102) having a top layer (118), an intermediate layer (122), a bottom layer (120), current isolation region (128), and a peripheral annular region (124,126). The bottom layer (120) of the microdisk (102) is in electrical communication with the top surface layer (104) of the substrate (106) and is positioned so that at least a portion of the peripheral annular region (124,126) is located above the at least one waveguide (114,116). The current isolation region (128) is configured to occupy at least a portion of a central region of the microdisk and has a relatively lower refractive index and relatively larger bandgap than the peripheral annular region.

    Abstract: In various embodiments of the present invention, tunable resistors (1102) are introduced at the interconnect layer of the integrated circuits (102) in order to provide a means for adjusting internal voltage and/or current levels within the integrated circuit to repair defective components or to configure the integrated circuit following manufacture. For example, when certain internal components, such as transistors, do not have specified electronics characteristics due to manufacturing defects, adjustment of the variable resistances of the tunable resistors (1102) included in the interconnect layer of integrated circuits according to embodiments of the present invention can be used to adjust internal voltage and/or levels in order to ameliorate the defective components. In other cases, the tunable resistors may be used as switches to configure integrated circuit components, including individual transistors and logic gates as well as larger, hierarchically structured functional modules and domains. In some cases, components and modules may be turned off, while, in other cases, components and modules may be turned on.

    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to demultiplexers that include tunneling resistor nanowire junctions, and to nanowire addressing methods for reliably addressing nanowire signal lines in nanoscale and mixed-scale demultiplexers. In one embodimentof the present invention, an encoder-demulriplexer comprises a number of input signal lines and an encoder (1304) that generates an n -bit-constant-weight-code code-word internal address (1320, 1506, 1704) for each different input address (1318, 1702) received on the input signal lines. The encoder-demultiplexer also includes n microscale signal lines (1306-1311) on which an n -bit-constant-weight-code code word internal address is out put by the encoder and a number of encoder-demultiplexer-addressed nanowire signal lines interconnected with the n microscale signal lines (1306-1311) via tunneling resistor junctions, the encoder-demultiplexer-addressed nanowire signal lines each associated with an n -bit-constant-weight-code code-word internal adress (1320, 1506, 1704).

    Abstract: A quantum well intermixing (QWI) technique for modifying an energy bandgap during the formation of optical semiconductor devices enables spatial control of the QWI process so as to achieve differing bandgap shifts across a wafer, device or substrate surface. The method includes: forming a substrate comprising one or more core layers defining at least one quantum well; depositing a succession of intermixing barrier layers over the quantum well, each successive intermixing barrier layer being formed of a semiconductor material and having a different etch characteristic than an immediately preceding barrier layer; etching away different numbers of the successive barrier layers in different regions of the substrate so as to provide different total thicknesses of barrier layer in different regions of the substrate; and applying an intermixing agent to the surface of the substrate such that the degree of intermixing in the quantum well region varies as a function of the total thickness of barrier layer, thereby forming different bandgaps in the quantum well in each of the respective regions.
