The present invention provides, inter alia, novel fluorinated copolymers and coprepolymers derived from mono-substituted oxetane monomers having fluorinated alkoxymethylene side-chains (FOX monomers) and tetrahydrofuran (THF). In addition, the present invention provides methods of making such copolymers and coprepolymers.

A STT-RAM MTJ is disclosed with a MgO tunnel barrier formed by natural oxidation and containing an oxygen surfactant layer to form a more uniform MgO layer and lower breakdown distribution percent. A CoFeB / NCC / CoFeB composite free layer with a middle nanocurrent channel layer minimizes Jc0 while enabling thermal stability, write voltage, read voltage, and Hc values that satisfy 64 Mb design requirements. The NCC layer has RM grains in an insulator matrix where R is Co, Fe, or Ni, and M is a metal such as Si or Al. NCC thickness is maintained around the minimum RM grain size to avoid RM granules not having sufficient diameter to bridge the distance between upper and lower CoFeB layers. A second NCC layer and third CoFeB layer may be included in the free layer or a second NCC layer may be inserted below the Ru capping layer.

Methods are disclosed for producing highly doped semiconductor materials. Using the invention, one can achieve doping densities that exceed traditional, established carrier saturation limits without deleterious side effects. Additionally, highly doped semiconductor materials are disclosed, as well as improved electronic and optoelectronic devices / components using said materials. The innovative materials and processes enabled by the invention yield significant performance improvements and / or cost reductions for a wide variety of semiconductor-based microelectronic and optoelectronic devices / systems.Materials are grown in an anion-rich environment, which, in the preferred embodiment, are produced by moderate substrate temperatures during growth in an oxygen-poor environment. The materials exhibit fewer non-radiative recombination centers at higher doping concentrations than prior art materials, and the highly doped state of matter can exhibit a minority carrier lifetime dominated by radiative recombination at higher doping levels and higher majority carrier concentrations than achieved in prior art materials. Important applications enabled by these novel materials include high performance electronic or optoelectronic devices, which can be smaller and faster, yet still capture or emit light efficiently, and high performance electronics, such as transistors, which can be smaller and faster, yet cooler.

A method and system for estimating native hydrocarbons from oil-based drilling muds with the aid of NMR data. Adaptive echo stacking may be used to balance between precision and sensitivity to changes in the fluid composition. Apparent T2 decay time and effective diffusion constants derived from the NMR data may be transformed into an indication of native hydrocarbon type, using known diffusion constants, fuzzy logic, and neural networks.

A portable mechanical ventilator having a Roots blower is configured to provide a desired gas flow and pressure to a patient circuit. The mechanical ventilator includes a flow meter operative to measure gas flow produced by the Roots blower and an exhalation control module configured to operate an exhalation valve connected to the patient circuit. A bias valve connected between the Roots blower and the patient circuit is specifically configured to generate a bias pressure relative to the patient circuit pressure at the exhalation control module. The bias valve is further configured to attenuate pulsating gas flow produced by the Roots blower such that gas flowing to the mass flow meter exhibits a substantially constant pressure characteristic. The bias pressure facilitates closing of the exhalation valve at the start of inspiration, regulates positive end expiratory pressure during exhalation, and purges sense lines via a pressure transducer module.

Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane / polyimide nanocomposites with certain mechanical properties and low dielectric constant is synthesized by covalently tethering functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane molecules to polyimide. These nanocomposites appear to be self-assembled systems. A process for synthesizing said polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane / polyimide nanocomposites also is provided, comprising a step of forming porous type polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane, and a subsequent step of reacting with dianhydride or directly reacting with synthesized polyimide.

A radar sensor for motor vehicles, having an optical system which subdivides a radar beam generated by a single antenna element into a plurality of beam components that are radiated in different directions, wherein the optical system has a diffraction grating.
