  • Patent number: 10523057
    Abstract: The present application provides a wireless charging module and a modularized sensing device therewith. A first charging unit is disposed around the inside of the wireless charging module for wirelessly charging a sensing module. Without introducing a transmission line as an electricity transmitting medium, the sensing module can be directly disposed inside and charged by the wireless charging module, which improves flexibility of implementation. Further, since the first charging unit is configured to surround the inside of the wireless charging module shaped as a bowl structure, the sensing module can be simply disposed into the bowl structure and wirelessly charged by the surrounding first charging units, which saves the inconvenience of setting the sensing module to a specific location or area for stable wireless charging and increases effective charging angles.

  • Patent number: 10362684
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for improving adhesion between ceramic and a thick film circuit. The method is particularly directed to accelerate the formation of a ceramic-metal eutectic phase between the ceramic carrier and the metal circuit by solid-phase diffusion bonding under a positive atmosphere. A metallic conductive slurry or its oxide slurry is printed on the surface of the ceramic carrier to form a circuit pattern by a thick film screen printing. The ceramic carrier is placed in an oven with temperature controlled by a program under a positive-pressure atmosphere of an inert gas including nitrogen, hydrogen or their mixtures. An eutectic phase is formed between the ceramic carrier and the metal circuit under a high temperature eutectic condition to increase the adhesion between the ceramic carrier and the thick film circuit.
