  • Publication number: 20240175816
    Abstract: A method for detection of a nerve agent in a sample, which method comprises (a) irradiating an optical sensing element, the optical sensing element comprising a fluorescent sensing compound provided on a substrate, and measuring the luminescence of the optical sensing element; wherein the fluorescent sensing compound comprises a combination of at least one electron acceptor moiety and, optionally, one or more electron donor moieties such that the electronic properties of the sensing compound are sufficient to enable a change in the luminescence of the sensing element in the presence of the nerve agent, and a moiety that influences solubility of the sensing compound in a solvent; (b) contacting the sample with the optical sensing element; (c) measuring the luminescence of the optical sensing element; and (d) determining whether the nerve agent is present in the sample based on the measurements obtained in steps (a) and (c).

  • Patent number: 11931993
    Abstract: A bonding method and a bonding device for a flexible panel. In the process of bonding a protective cover plate and the flexible panel, a heated-type optical adhesive is used, the optical adhesive at normal temperature has relatively low viscosity and the viscosity thereof is below a bondable threshold, so that before the flexible panel and the edge of the protective cover plate are bonded, the optical adhesive and the edge of the protective cover plate come into contact in advance and then can be effectively separated, thus poor bonding in a bending region is avoided, the risk of generating bubbles and cracks is small, and the bonding yield can be improved. Moreover, the optical adhesive is increased in viscosity after heated, thereby ensuring that the flexible panel is bonded to the protective cover plate.

  • Publication number: 20240027346
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for detecting a nerve agent in an analyte, said nerve agent having a phosphorus-fluorine bond, which method comprises: (a) contacting the analyte with a solid state composition comprising a sensor compound; wherein the sensor compound comprises a basic nitrogen atom and a hydroxyaryl moiety protected by a silyl protecting group; and wherein, in the presence of hydrogen fluoride, said silyl group is cleaved to effect deprotection of the hydroxyl group thus forming a luminescent reporter compound; (b) irradiating the solid state composition at a predetermined wavelength; (c) measuring the luminescence to determine if the reporter compound is present; and (d) determining whether the nerve agent is present in the analyte based on the measurement obtained in step (c).
