Publication number: 20100062308Abstract: This invention provides a manufacturing method of an MEA in which electrode catalyst layers adhere sufficiently to a polymer electrolyte membrane and the fringe area of the polymer electrolyte membrane has no large waviness to cause a gas seal problem when used in a fuel cell. The method includes preparing a pair of transfer sheets each having an electrode catalyst layer on one surface of a substrate, arranging the transfer sheets in such a way that the electrode catalyst layers, respectively, face both surfaces of the polymer electrolyte membrane and the fringe area of the polymer electrolyte layer is exposed, and hot pressing the transfer sheets together with the interposed polymer electrolyte membrane, and has a feature that pressure applied during the hot pressing in a certain area is 0.5-2.0 MPa (referred to as PA) and pressure applied in the other area is a value 1-3 times smaller than PA.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2009Publication date: March 11, 2010Applicant: Toppan Printing Co., Ltd.Inventor: Naoko Uehara

Patent number: 7671461Abstract: A system for hermetically sealing devices. The system includes a substrate, which includes a plurality of individual chips. Each of the chips includes a plurality of devices and each of the chips are arranged in a spatial manner as a first array. The system also includes a transparent member of a predetermined thickness, which includes a plurality of recessed regions arranged in a spatial manner as a second array and each of the recessed regions are bordered by a standoff region. The substrate and the transparent member are aligned in a manner to couple each of the plurality of recessed regions to a respective one of said plurality of chips. Each of the chips within one of the respective recessed regions is hermetically sealed by contacting the standoff region of the transparent member to the plurality of first street regions and second street regions using at least a bonding process to isolate each of the chips within one of the recessed regions.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2006Date of Patent: March 2, 2010Assignee: Miradia Inc.Inventors: Xiao Yang, Dongmin Chen
