摘要:
A method for making a polymeric microfluidic structure in which two or more components (layers) of the microfluidic structure are fixedly bonded or laminated with a weak solvent bonding agent, particularly acetonitrile or a mixture of acetonitrile and alcohol. In an aspect, acetonitrile can be used as a weak solvent bonding agent to enclose a microstructure fabricated in or on a non-elastomeric polymer such as polystyrene, polycarbonate, acrylic or other linear polymer to form a three-dimensional microfluidic network. The method involves the steps of wetting at least one of the opposing surfaces of the polymeric substrate components with the weak solvent bonding agent in a given, lower temperature range, adjacently contacting the opposing surfaces, and thermally activating the bonding agent at a higher temperature than the lower temperature range for a given period of time. The contacted polymeric substrates may also be aligned prior to thermal activation and compressed during thermal activation. A laminated, polymeric microfluidic structure is also disclosed.

This new utility invention discloses a waterproof LED lamp comprising a power supply box and an LED lighting module block detachably connected to the power supply box. A power driving board and an LED controller are disposed in the power supply box. The LED lighting module block includes at least one LED module, which includes a module heat dissipater. The power supply box and the LED module are arrayed side-by-side in a parallel manner, and a lateral surface of the power supply box matches a lateral surface of the LED module in size and shape so that the power supply box and the LED module may be in close contact. The power supply box and the LED lighting module block are electrically connected with a conducting wire, which is arranged to go through the wiring hole and the slot. The power driving board provides power to the LED controller and the light board, and the LED controller drives the LED lighting beads on the light board to illuminate. The present invention disposes the power supply and power driver inside a power supply box to separate the power supply from the LED light source. For product maintenance, the power supply or LED light source may be replaced individually.

A primary Common Manageability Programming Interface Provider Adapter (CPA) may provide communication between a Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) server and a first set of a plurality of Common Manageability Programming Interface (CMPI) providers. The primary CPA may operate in a first operating system space. At least one supplemental CPA may provide communication between the WMI server and a respective second set of the plurality of CMPI providers. The CMPI providers in each respective second set of the plurality of CMPI providers may be different than the CMPI providers in the first set of the plurality of CMPI providers. Each of the at least one supplemental CPA may operate in an operating system space separate from the first operating system space.

The present invention belongs to the technical field of memory storage and specially relates to a NiO-based resistive random access memory system (RRAM) and a preparation method thereof. The RRAM is comprised of a substrate and a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) structure, wherein the electrodes are metal films, such as copper, aluminum, etc., capable of being applied to the interconnection process, and the resistive switching insulator is an Al2O3/NiO/Al2O3 laminated dielectric film. The MIM structure in the invention shows stable switching between the bi-stable resistance states as well as memory features; compared with the RRAM that only uses a single NiO-based dielectric film, the storage window is increased, and the resistance stability is improved. Therefore, the NiO-based RRAM has a good prospect in actual application. The present invention further provides a method for preparing the abovementioned memory storage system.

An apparatus for simplifying battery pack encapsulation is provided. The battery pack includes a pair of complementary housing members with each housing member including a plurality of cell constraints into which the ends of corresponding battery cells are inserted during assembly. One or both housing members also include at least one, and preferably a plurality, of raised encapsulant injection ports. The raised encapsulant injection ports are designed to extend above the surface of the respective housing members and beyond the injected encapsulation material, thus ensuring that the ports remain open after encapsulation material injection.
