Abstract:
A conductive photolithographic film and method of forming a device using the conductive photolithographic film. The method includes depositing a conductive photolithographic film on a top surface of a substrate; and patterning the conductive photolithographic film to create a desired circuit pattern using a lithographic process. The conductive photolithographic film comprising about 50% to about 60% of a mixture of epoxy acrylate, a thermal curing agent, and a conductive polymer; about 20% to about 30% of a lithographic reactive component; about 10% to about 15% of a photo-active material; and about 3% to about 5% of additives that enhance conductivity of the conductive photolithographic polymer.
Abstract:
An illuminated lens is provided to illuminate the interior of a vending machine so that prospective patrons of the machine can see the products being offered for sale. Around the outer ends of the transparent lens is a frame made of aluminum, and deposited along the inner surface of the aluminum frame are deposits for forming a plurality of spaced LEDs. The light from the LEDs is directed into the outer end of the lens to thereby illuminate objects behind the lens.
Abstract:
A command conversion interface between an image machine with a plurality of hard keys and an image requestor is disclosed. When the command conversion interface detects and determines the activation of a specific hard key of the image machine, digital image information from the image machine is provided for the image requestor through the command conversion interface to execute a designated task, which has not been built in the image machine. In the command conversion interface, the designated task is interpreted by a destination command script, and the destination command script is processed by a compiler along with the digital image information, then transmitted to the image requestor to execute the task. The relationship between the specific hard key and the designated task refers to a new correlation table of the command conversion interface.
Abstract:
A method, system, transmitter, receiver and protocol are disclosed for communicating with wireless receivers. The invention includes providing a controller having a discovery mode and an operating mode, in the discovery mode the controller is capable of registering wireless devices, in the operating mode the controller is capable of receiving transmissions from a wireless device that has been registered. A wireless transmitter is provided which is capable of communicating wirelessly with the controller. The wireless device has an actuator for initiating at least one transmission of registration data. When the controller is placed into the discovery mode, and the actuator of the wireless device is actuated to wirelessly transmit the registration data from the wireless device to the controller, whereby the wireless device is registered with the controller. The wireless data contains data that allows the controller to interface with the wireless device.
Abstract:
A spraying head assembly for a massaging tub includes a housing, a cover, a water outlet valve seat, a water outlet valve cover, a vortex rotor, a bushing, a nozzle, an impulse rotor, and a motor. Thus, the water is pressurized by rotation of the helical blades of the vortex rotor and the helical plates of the water outlet valve seat to produce a strong water beam that is injected outward from the nozzle, thereby enhancing the massaging effect.
Abstract:
A sensor chip, comprising a flexible, polymer-based substrate, and at least one microfabricated sensor disposed on the substrate and including a conductive element. The at least one sensor comprises at least one of a tactile sensor and a flow sensor. Other embodiments of the present invention include sensors and/or multi-modal sensor nodes.
Abstract:
An angular position sensor determines the angular orientation of a rotatable shaft. The device includes a rotor rotatable with the shaft. A first housing receives the rotor and a second housing at least partially surrounds the first housing. A flexible member between the first housing and the second housing permits vibration of the first housing while the second housing remains stationary.
Abstract:
An ion-transport membrane assembly including a tubular, ion-transport membrane that is fabricated from one or more ion-transport, ceramic materials capable of ionic transport at an operational temperature of greater than 400° C. The membrane may be an oxygen transport membrane or a hydrogen transport membrane. A plurality of structural supporting members, fabricated from an open porous material and having an outer cylindrical surface, are inserted within the membrane, without being bonded to the membrane, to inhibit inward collapse of the membrane under application of a pressure applied to an exterior surface of the membrane. The structural supporting members are configured to permit relative movement between the outer surface of the structural supporting member and the interior surface of the tubular membrane during heating to or cooling from the operational temperature thereof.
Abstract:
A CPU radiator assembly includes an upper frame, a lower frame, a radiator block interposed between the upper and the lower frames, a pressing member extending across the radiator block and having a connecting end connected to the upper frame and a free end, and a control bar mounted on the upper frame to selectively apply a downward force on the free end of the pressing member and thereby push the radiator block and the lower frame downward in opposite to the upper frame, making the upper frame firmly grip the lower frame and the radiator block tightly contact the CPU below it. Fixed and movable legs having hooked lower ends connect the upper frame to the lower frame. The movable legs are pivotally turnable to disengage the hooked lower ends from the lower frame, so that the CPU radiator assembly could be easily assembled or disassembled.
Abstract:
A blackbody furnace, mainly comprising a radiation cavity, a thermally insulating layer, a heater, a housing, a temperature controller, an airflow controller and a high-pressure air source. Besides, a gas channel is provided at the bottom of the radiation cavity to conduct the interior of the furnace chamber with the exterior. In the process of lowering the temperature of the blackbody furnace, the airflow controller could be actuated by the temperature controller or by an operator. Therefore, the room-temperature high-pressure air will enter the radiation cavity through the gas channel to fast cool down the radiation cavity. Finally, heat air will be vented from an opening at the front end of the radiation cavity. The present invention utilizes forced convection to enhance the efficiency of heat dissipation to fast lower the temperature of the blackbody furnace.
