Nanostencils are used in dynamic mode to pattern on top of flexible substrates. As the stencil is moving during the material evaporation, the obtained structures are the convolution between the stencil trajectory and the apertures’ geometry. Variable-thick ...
A drawing of a graph is x-monotone if every edge intersects every vertical line at most once and every vertical line contains at most one vertex. Pach and Toth showed that if a graph has an x-monotone drawing in which every pair of edges crosses an even nu ...
Here Bernard Cache provides a detailed analysis of a paper written in 1636 by the French mathematician, architect and engineer, Girard Desargues. Desargues is best known as the founder of projective geometry. Cache explains how he initally developed this s ...
To avoid chaos and arbitrariness architects have traditionally looked for ways to structure buildings as wholes that can be factorised into parts. This approach to the nature of architecture is that of composition. After the Second World War, the world of ...
NOVELTY - A plate comprises an electroconductive substrate (1) at least partially covered with sintered nanoparticles (2), deposited as an array of individual spots, for use as a sorbing phase for a sample, and for supporting ionization of sorbed sample mo ...
NOVELTY - The plate has electrically conductive substrate (1) that is covered with light sensitive matrix (2). The matrix comprises light absorber, charge carrier, probe molecule and photo-sensitizer (3) arranged to oxidize probe molecule by irradiation of ...

Enhanced global connectivity, networks’ capacity to carry data, and increases in transmission speed already affect the way architectural practices work. With computer-assisted drafting (CAD) equipment now used by the overwhelming majority of architectural ...
This invention proposes a component distribution scheme, and a mechanism that automatically loads and installs components from a client machine to an Embedded Server. NOVELTY - The method involves transmitting a component loader (12) from the embedded serv ...
In the last three decades the management of information technologies has become a major issue in most organizations. In this context, virtual communities (VC), as a means to technologically foster collective social exchanges, are often proposed as viable s ...
We present a framework for the incremental construction of deadlock-free systems meeting given safety properties. The framework borrows concepts and basic results from the controller synthesis paradigm by considering a step in the construction process as a ...
