Abstract: A pipe or tube article is disclosed that comprises an innermost layer having a thickness of about 0.001 to about 102 mm (0.00004 to 4 inches) comprising a polymeric composition comprising a terionomer composition made from a parent acid terpolymer composition made from an ?-olefin having 2 to 10 carbons; about 12 to about 60 wt % of an ?,?-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid ester; and about 5 to about 25 wt % of an ?,?-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid having 3 to 8 carbons (based on the total weight of the parent acid terpolymer); wherein about 5 to about 90% of the carboxylic acids are neutralized with a metal ion to provide long lifetime, highly abrasion-resistant pipes for mining and other transportation uses. Methods for preparing the article and transporting abrasive materials through the article are also described.
Abstract: A head-up display system embedded in a vehicle having at least one tire is provided. The head-up display system includes a tire sensor, a speed detecting module, a host apparatus and a head-up display apparatus. The tire sensor is disposed within the tire for detecting a temperature and a pressure of the tire, and the speed detecting module detects a speed of the vehicle. The host apparatus drives the tire sensor with a wireless low-frequency signal and receives a high-frequency temperature signal and a high-frequency pressure signal transmitted from the tire sensor. Afterwards, according to the received signals, a processing unit of the host apparatus drives the head-up display apparatus to produce a temperature image, a pressure image and a speed image on a windshield by projecting.
Abstract: Cross-linked polymeric films suitable for use as a dielectric build-up layer in multi-layer chip carriers are provided. The films are suitable for use in any application using films that are dimensionally stable to temperature changes.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropane is disclosed. The process involves (a) contacting at least one halopropane of the formula CF3CH2CHyX3-y (where each X is independently F, Cl or Br, and y is 3, 2, or 1) with Cl?2#191 in the presence of light or a free radical initiator to produce a mixture comprising CF3CH2CCIyX3-y; (b) contacting the CF3CH2CCIyX3-y produced in step (a) with HF, optionally in the presence of a fluorination catalyst, to produce a product mixture comprising CF3CH2CF3; and (c) recovering CF3CH2CF3 from the mixture produced in step (b).

Abstract: A MOS or CMOS based active pixel sensor designed for operation with zero or close to zero potential across the pixel photodiodes to minimize or eliminate dark current. In preferred embodiments the pixel photodiodes are produced with a continuous pin or nip photodiode layer laid down over pixel electrodes of the sensor. In this preferred embodiment, the voltage potential across the pixel photodiode structures is maintained constant and close to zero, preferably less than 1.0 volts. This preferred embodiment enables the photodiode to be operated at a constant bias condition during the charge detection cycle. Setting this constant bias condition close to zero (near “short circuit” condition) assures that dark current is substantially zero.
Abstract: The present invention is a horizontal rotary hook for a sewing machine includes an inner bobbin case holder, an outer rotating hook made of a synthetic resin, a sliding surface formed on the rotating hook so as to be slid relative to the bobbin case holder with rotation of the rotating hook while an outer periphery of the bobbin case holder is placed on the rotating hook, an opening defined in an outer peripheral wall of the rotating hook so that a needle thread passes through the opening, and a beak mounted on an outer peripheral wall of the rotating hook for seizing a loop of the needle thread.
