  • Patent number: 10067112
    Abstract: An improved sensor fish with robust design and enhanced measurement capabilities. This sensor fish contains sensors for acceleration, rotation, magnetic field intensity, pressure, and temperature. A low-power microcontroller collects data from the sensors and stores up to 5 minutes of data on a non-volatile flash memory. A rechargeable battery supplies power to the sensor fish. A recovery system helps locating sensor fish. The package, when ready for use is nearly neutrally buoyant and thus mimics the behavior of an actual fish.

  • Publication number: 20170170850
    Abstract: Injectable transmitters are provided that can include a body with the body housing a power source and an oscillator, the injectable transmitter also including an antenna extending from the body, the body and antenna being of sufficient size to be injected through a 9 gauge needle. Radio frequency transmitters are provided that can include a body extending from a nose to a tail with the body housing a power source and RF signal generator components. The power source of the transmitter can define at least a portion of the nose of the body. The transmitters can have an antenna extending from the tail. Methods for attaching a radio frequency (RF) transmitter to an animal are provided. The methods can include providing an RF transmitter and providing an injection device having a needle of gauge of 9 or smaller; providing the RF transmitter into the injection device; and providing the RF transmitter through the 9 gauge or smaller needle and into the animal.

  • Publication number: 20170029938
    Abstract: Disclosed are an evaporation source, an evaporation-deposition device and an evaporation-deposition method. The evaporation source comprises: a crucible configured to generate an evaporation-deposition gas; a crucible top cover arranged on the crucible to seal the crucible; and a plurality of crucible nozzles arranged on the crucible top cover and configured to spray the evaporation-deposition gas from the crucible. The evaporation source further comprises a clogging heater configured to heat the crucible nozzle. The clogging heater may directly heat the crucible nozzle, so as to evaporate the coagulated organic evaporation-deposition material. According to the disclosure, a pressure inside the crucible can be kept constant, ensuring that an article can have an organic evaporation-deposition material layer with uniform thickness.

  • Publication number: 20150249054
    Abstract: A substrate alignment mark and a fabricating method thereof, and a substrate are provided. The substrate alignment mark includes a first alignment mark pattern and a second alignment mark pattern that are formed in a different-layer structure on a substrate, the first alignment mark pattern and the second alignment mark pattern are provided with centers thereof aligned and without overlapping portions. Therefore, because two alignment marks are formed in a different-layer structure on a substrate, when uneven film formation occurs in the process of forming one of the alignment marks, causing the alignment mark to be unidentifiable in alignment, the alignment can still be performed by identifying the other alignment mark, thus identification success rate of alignment marks is increased, and then defective rate caused by failure to identify alignment marks in manufacturing process of the substrate is noticeably decreased.
