Abstract:
A composite filler comprising thermally processed porous inorganic mixed particles of silica and at least one heteroparticle selected from the group consisting of zirconia, hafnia, or yttria and a polymer occupying the pores of the porous inorganic mixed particles, wherein the porous inorganic mixed particles are thermally processed at a temperature of from 650 to 900° C., as well as a dental restorative comprising a resin and a composite filler, and optionally other fillers, wherein said resin has a refractive index that increases upon curing, and wherein the opacities of the both uncured and cured restorative are less than 45.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to touch technology, and more particularly to a touch device and a method of fabricating the same. The disclosure provides a touch device comprising a protective cover having a sensing area and a peripheral area surrounding the sensing area; a first decoration layer disposed on the peripheral area; a sensing electrode layer comprising a sensing portion disposed on the sensing area and an extension portion extending from the sensing area to the first decoration layer; a second decoration layer disposed on the first decoration layer; a signal line formed on the second decoration layer and connected to the extension portion of the sensing electrode layer. By the design of the foregoing first and second decoration layers, the broken state or interruption of the sensing electrode layer can be prevented. In addition, the disclosure also provides the fabricating method for the foregoing touch device.

The broken lines shown in the drawings illustrate portions of the pet water fountain that form no part of the claimed design.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for detecting a particular chemical in a sample, includes placing the sample in contact with a semiconductive material provided on a flow cell. An electrical characteristic of the semiconductive material is detected by an interdigitated electrode, and a first signal indicative thereof of output. An optical characteristic of the semiconductive material is detected by a photodetector and a second signal indicative thereof is output. Based on the first and second signals, it is determined by a processor as to whether or not the particular chemical is present in the sample.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for increasing detection characteristics of a chemical sensor array that has been previously exposed to an agent in order to detect and categorize the agent. Ultraviolet light at a predetermined wavelength is applied to the chemical sensor array, in order to desorb the agent from the chemical sensor array, so as to increase a resistance of the chemical sensor array. Alternatively or together with the ultraviolet light, a bias voltage is applied to at least one biasing electrode making up the chemical sensor array, in order to desorb the agent from the chemical sensor array, so as to increase the resistance of the chemical sensor array. The chemical sensor array may be a carbon nanotube sensor array.
