Abstract:
A wafer pod. The wafer pod comprises a main body, a working sheet holder disposed on the main body, and a lock disposed between the working sheet holder and the main body. The working sheet holder is fixed to the main body by the lock to form an accommodating space.
Abstract:
Multi-layer coatings are disclosed that include (1) a first layer comprising an inorganic oxide network, and (2) a second layer applied over at least a portion of the first layer, wherein the second layer is deposited from at least one liquid composition that is hydrophilic and includes an essentially completely hydrolyzed organosilicate. Also disclosed are substrates coated with such multi-layer coatings, methods of applying such multi-layer coatings to a substrate and methods for improving the anti-fouling, self-cleaning, easy-to-clean, and/or anti-fogging properties of an article.
Abstract:
A system for providing conducting pads of a display panel has a base layer on a substrate, a first insulator on the base layer having a plurality of grooves, a second conductive layer inside the grooves, and a patterned third conductive layer covering the second conductive layer. The first insulator serves as a barricade for fixing the second conductive layer in the grooves.
Abstract:
The present invention provides polyurethane composition including: (a) at least one polyurethane including a reaction product of components comprising: (i) at least one polyisocyanate; (ii) at least one branched polyol having 4 to 18 carbon atoms and at least 3 hydroxyl groups; and (iii) at least one diol having 2 to 18 carbon atoms; and (b) at least one reinforcement material selected from the group consisting of polymeric inorganic materials, nonpolymeric inorganic materials, polymeric organic materials, nonpolymeric organic materials, composites thereof, and combinations thereof; coatings and articles made therefrom and methods of making the same.
Abstract:
A flexible printed circuit (FPC) having testing pads thereon is provided. The FPC comprises a plurality of bonding pads and a plurality of testing pads, wherein each of the testing pads is disposed corresponding to each of the bonding pads, and the testing pads are electrically isolated from the bonding pads. After the bonding pads of the FPC are bonded to pins of a display, the testing pads are electrically connected to the bonding pads on the FPC via the pins of the display. Therefore, the FPC bonding yield can be determined by measuring the electrical property of the testing pads.
Abstract:
An electrochromic aircraft window assembly includes: a) an outboard pane assembly; and b) a fog preventing electrochromic pane assembly spaced from the outboard pane assembly and defining a chamber therebetween, the fog preventing electrochromic pane assembly having: i) a first substrate having a first surface including a first conductive coating and a second surface including a second conductive coating; ii) a second substrate spaced from the first substrate, the second substrate having a first surface including a third conductive coating, the second surface of the first substrate and the first surface of the second substrate facing each other in spaced-apart relation to define a chamber therebetween; iii) an electrochromic medium contained in the chamber and in contact with the second and the third conductive coatings, the electrochromic medium having a luminous transmittance that varies upon application of an electrical potential through the electrochromic medium; iv) facilities for applying electrical current to the first conductive coating to heat the first conductive coating, thereby preventing fogging of the window assembly; and v) facilities for applying electrical current to the second and the third conductive coatings to establish the electrical potential through the electrochromic medium and vary the variable luminous transmittance of the electrochromic medium.
Abstract:
Siloxane organic hybrid polymers and a method of making them by condensation polymerization reaction of organoalkoxysilane with an alkali metal carboxylic acid catalyst in the presence of organic film-forming polymers are disclosed.
Abstract:
A titanate/organosilane copolymer is disclosed for use as a primer to promote adhesion between a rigid polymer substrate and an elastomeric interlayer or inorganic coating, or as a release agent to prevent such adhesion depending on the nature of the organic moiety of the organosilane.

A silicate/titanate copolymer is disclosed for use as a primer in adhering rigid polymer substrates to elastomeric interlayers or inorganic coatings.
Abstract:
A multi-component organoalkoxysilane/metal alkoxide sol-gel composition and method for its production are disclosed whereby an organoalkoxysilane of the general formulaR.sub.x Si(OR').sub.4-xwherein R is an organic radical, R' is low molecular weight alkyl radical, and x is at least 1 and less than 4, is partially hydrolyzed, reacted with a mixture of metal alkoxides, and the resulting composition is further hydrolyzed and condensed to form an inorganic oxide network. The composition is dried and cured to form an abrasion-resistant coating on a substrate having improved properties in comparison with single metal alkoxide compositions.
