  • Publication number: 20110101285
    Abstract: A conductive paste includes: at least one metal powder, an organic vehicle, a glass and a surfactant having a representative formula as follows: Mx(R)y(Q)z, wherein M is selected from a metal element and a semiconductive element, R is hydrophilic group directly connected to M and one will be able to hydrolyze by water to form another hydrophilic group, and Q is a hydrophobic group. The hydrophilic functional group of the surfactant will attach on the metal powder surface closely. Therefore, the surfactant can disperse the metal powder in the organic vehicle well and prevent paste from aggregating.

  • Publication number: 20110023120
    Abstract: A method and a system for cleaning malicious software (malware), a computer program product, and a storage medium are provided. A relation graph is established to associate processes in an operating system and related elements. A node marking action is performed on the relation graph when a predetermined condition is satisfied. The node corresponding to a malicious process and its related nodes are marked with a first label. The nodes of other normal processes and their related nodes are marked with a second label. Then, those nodes marked with both the first label and the second label are screened, so that each of the nodes is marked with only the first label or the second label. Finally, the processes and elements corresponding to the nodes marked with the first label are removed.

  • Patent number: 7221240
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide a narrow bandpass filter installed on a circuit board for suppressing a high-frequency harmonic wave, which uses a metal microstrip method to directly build a microstrip circuit corresponding to a narrow bandpass filter on a circuit board of a wireless communication product and uses an interdigital finger method to lay a capacitor microstrip of the microstrip circuit on the circuit board to avoid the capacitor microstrip occupying too much area of the circuit board and maximizes the usable space of the circuit board, so that the wireless communication product can suppress a second or higher harmonic spurious noise of the wireless communication product without using an additional high-frequency filter, and thus can greatly lower the manufacturing cost of the wireless communication product and effectively reduce the electromagnetic interference.
