Composite particles made of a binder and filler material are provided for use in subterranean formations. The filler is finely divided mineral and optional fiber. The particles are proppants useful to prop open subterranean formation fractures. The particles are also useful for water filtration and artificial turf for sports fields. Methods of making the composite particles are also disclosed.</PTEXT>

A method and system for applying addressing voltages to pixels of a display involves receiving input data. The input data includes an indication of an addressing voltage impulse to be applied to a pixel via an electrode. One or more voltage sources are selected, to provide the addressing voltage impulse. The one or more voltage sources each have a pre-selected voltage. The selected one or more voltage sources are electrically connected to an electrode to apply the addressing voltage impulse to the pixel.

Provided are an organic electroluminescence device and an aromatic amine derivative for realizing the device. The aromatic amine derivative improves the luminous efficiency of an organic electroluminescence device using the derivative, and its molecules hardly crystallize. The organic electroluminescence device has an organic thin film layer composed of one or a plurality of layers including at least a light emitting layer, the organic thin film layer being interposed between a cathode and an anode, and at least one layer of the organic thin film layer, especially a hole transporting layer contains the aromatic amine derivative alone or as a component of a mixture, so the organic electroluminescence device can be produced in improved yield, and has a long lifetime.

A stacked package structure and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed. The package structure comprises: a substrate having a first surface and a second surface in opposition to each other; at least one chip deposed on and electrically connected to the first surface of the substrate; a plurality of electrical connection devices deposed on the first surface and periphery of the substrate, wherein each electrical connection device is higher than the at least one chip in altitude; and an encapsulant covering the first surface of the substrate, the at least one chip and the electrical connection devices, wherein a top end of each electrical connection device is exposed at a surface of the encapsulant.

Provided are: a novel aromatic amine derivative having an asymmetric structure; and an organic electroluminescence device having one or multiple organic thin film layers including at least a light emitting layer, the one or multiple organic thin film layers being interposed between a cathode and an anode. The aromatic amine derivative realizes the organic EL device capable of suppressing the crystallization of a molecule, improving yields upon production of the organic EL device, and having a long lifetime when at least one layer of the one or more multiple organic thin film layers contains the aromatic amine derivative alone or as a component of a mixture.

The present invention provides an organic electroluminescence device which can be driven at a reduced voltage, hardly causes the crystallization of a molecule, can be produced in improved yield, and has a long lifetime because of difficulty of molecular crystallization, and aromatic amine derivatives for realizing the device. The aromatic amine derivatives are novel aromatic amine derivatives having a specific structure. The organic electroluminescence device includes an organic thin film layer formed of one or more layers including at least a light emitting layer, the organic thin film layer being interposed between a cathode and an anode. In the organic electroluminescence device, at least one layer of the organic thin film layer, especially a hole transporting layer, contains the aromatic amine derivative alone or as a component of a mixture.

Among the many embodiment, in one embodiment, a method for processing a substrate is disclosed which includes generating a fluid layer on a surface of the substrate, the fluid layer defining a fluid meniscus. The generating includes moving a head in proximity to the surface, applying a fluid from the head to the surface while the head is in proximity to the surface of the substrate to define the fluid layer, and removing the fluid from the surface through the proximity head by a vacuum. The fluid travels along the fluid layer between the head and the substrate at a velocity that increases as the head is in closer proximity to the surface.

Embodiments of the present invention include methods and systems for three-dimensional reconstruction of a tubular organ (for example, coronary artery) using a plurality of two-dimensional images. Some of the embodiments may include displaying a first image of a vascular network, receiving input for identifying on the first image a vessel of interest, tracing the edges of the vessel of interest including eliminating false edges of objects visually adjacent to the vessel of interest, determining substantially precise radius and densitometry values along the vessel, displaying at least a second image of the vascular network, receiving input for identifying on the second image the vessel of interest, tracing the edges of the vessel of interest in the second image, including eliminating false edges of objects visually adjacent to the vessel of interest, determining substantially precise radius and densitometry values along the vessel in the second image, determining a three dimensional reconstruction of the vessel of interest and determining fused area (cross-section) measurements along the vessel and computing and presenting quantitative measurements, including, but not limited to, true length, percent narrowing (diameter and area), and the like.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a plasma CVD device in which it is possible to inhibit the formation of particles resulting from the adhesion of reaction by-products of poor adhesive strength around the upper electrode. The plasma CVD device has a vacuum container 200, an upper electrode 210 and a lower electrode 220. The edge of the gas dispersion plate 213 of the upper electrode 210 is formed in the shape of an upturned bowl, the edge of which extends below the upper surface of the treatment substrate W mounted on the substrate-mounting surface 221 of the lower electrode 220.
