  • Patent number: 10982120
    Abstract: Conventionally, when an adherend is nickel or the like, it has been difficult to realize an electroconductive adhesive that lowers connection resistance in various kinds of thermocurable curing resins. However, it is possible to provide an electroconductive adhesive, in the case where the adherend is nickel or the like, which reduces connection resistance in various kinds of thermocurable curing resins while simultaneously maintaining storage stability to have good handleability. The present description provides a thermocurable electroconductive adhesive including the following components (A) to (D): Component (A): a curable resin, Component (B): a thermal curing agent that cures Component (A), Component (C): an organometallic complex, and Component (D): electroconductive particles.

  • Patent number: 10942110
    Abstract: A system and method for detecting particles in a fluidic medium using a microfluidic sensor is described. The system utilises microfluidic channels though which the fluidic medium is passed. On one section of the microfluidic channel, an array of non-flexible electrodes are coupled with uniform spacing therebetween. On the opposing section of the channel, a flexible electrode is coupled and all electrodes are connected to an electrical analyser which is used to generate an electrical field inside the microfluidic channel with the flexible electrode acting as ground. The flexible electrode is actuated by different means to narrow the width of the microfluidic in the section of interest and to capture the particle between the section, where sectional scans of the particles are obtained and electrical properties of the particle are measured, thereby detecting the particles in the fluidic medium.
