Silica aerogels with improved properties are disclosed together with methods for synthesizing such aerogels. The improved properties include lower thermal conductivity (better insulating capacity), lower acoustic velocity, lower dielectric constant and improved ductility. Greater tunability of the refractive index can also be achieved. The silica aerogels are prepared by a sol-gel processing method that provides better control of the formation of aerogel structures. Generally speaking, the improvements arise from control of the synthesis to create a morphology of primary clusters and diverse-sized secondary clusters of dense silica aerogels separated by less densely packed regions. By providing a broader range of secondary clusters and / or pore sizes and loose connectivity between clusters, reductions can be achieved in thermal conductivity and flexural modulus.

A system for reducing plasma induced communication disruption is disclosed. The system utilizes an electrophilic gas injectant, bent reentry vehicle nose shaping and a number of flaps configured to provide 3-axis steering capability. Injecting electrophilic gas injectant into plasma accomplishes reduction of plasma induced communication disruption by removing free electrons in the plasma which causes the communication disruption. For reentry vehicles, a bent biconic nose also reduces plasma effect during reentry. By combining electrophilic gas injection and bent nose shaping, the system reduces and / or eliminates plasma induced communication disruption, such as, GPS communication blackout, for a reentry vehicle during reentry. Furthermore, the 3-axis steering capability renders the reentry vehicle more maneuverable. Performance of the reentry vehicle during reentry, such as, target accuracy, is thus improved.

The present invention relates to an innovative method for the reversible crosslinking of, for example, adhesives or coating materials. The reversible crosslinking method allows very rapid crosslinking even at room temperature and undoing of the crosslinks at higher temperatures, thereby regaining the capacity for thermoplastic processing and allowing the originally bonded substrates to be separated from one another again with ease. A particular aspect in this context is that a plurality of cycles of crosslinking and undoing of the crosslinks are possible with the present system.

In a quality control method and computer for planning radiotherapy of patient, magnetic resonance (MR) image data, acquired from a planning volume of a patient, are provided to a computer and are used in the computer to generate a first electron density map of the planning volume. A second electron density map is generated using the first electron density map, wherein a value of electron density for a bone region in the planning volume is reduced compared to the first electron density map. First and second radiation dose distributions in the planning volume are respectively determined from the radiotherapy plan and the first electron density map, and the radiotherapy plan and the second electron density map. These distributions are compared in order to generate output information.

Provided is a plasma filming apparatus, which can keep high not only a filming rate but also an in-plane homogeneity of a film thickness. The plasma filming apparatus comprises a treating container (44) made evacuative, a placing bed (46) for placing a treatment object (W) thereon, a ceiling plate (88) mounted in the ceiling and made of a dielectric material for transmitting microwaves, gas introducing means (54) for introducing a treating gas containing a filming raw gas and a support gas, and microwave introducing means (92) having a plain antenna member disposed on the ceiling side for introducing the microwaves. The introducing means includes central gas injection holes (112A) for the raw gas positioned above the central portion of the treatment object, and a plurality of peripheral gas injection holes (114A) for the raw gas arrayed above the peripheral portion of the treatment object and along the peripheral direction of the same. Above the treatment object and between the central gas injection holes (112A) and the peripheral gas injection holes (114A), there are disposed plasma shielding portions (130) for shielding the plasma along the peripheral direction.

The present invention relates to a novel iridium complex into which carbazole-substituted pyridine derivatives and various substituents-substituted phenyl derivatives are introduced as main ligand and a electrophosphorescence diode containing the same as a dopant of a light-emitting layer. When the iridium complex according to the present invention is applied to an organic light-emitting diode, the heat-resistance property and the light-emitting property can be significantly improved as well as the light-emitting efficiency and the like can be significantly improved by doping the iridium complex compound into the light-emitting layer as compared to the conventional organic light-emitting diode.
