  • Method for manufacturing a light-emitting structure of a light-emitting device (LED)
    Patent number: 7279347
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a light-emitting structure of a light-emitting device (LED) is disclosed. The white colored LED includes a resonant cavity structure, producing and mixing lights which may mix into a white colored light in the resonant cavity structure, so that the white colored LED may be more accurately controlled in its generated white colored light, which efficiently reduces deficiency, generates natural white colored light and aids in luminous efficiency promotion. In addition to the resonant cavity structure, the light-emitting structure also includes a contact layer, an n-type metal electrode, and a p-type metal electrode.

  • DERMAL PHASE METER WITH IMPROVED REPLACEABLE PROBE TIPS
    Publication number: 20070222467
    Abstract: A probe for a dermal phase meter includes a handle with an extension that terminates with a displaceable center conductor. A replaceable tip attaches to the distal end of the extension and includes a center conductor that engages the center conductor in the extension and an outer conductor that establishes electrical connection through the extension. Substituting different replacement tips provides a probe with an articulation capability. Probe tips with a layer of a patient compatible, compressible elastomer overmolded onto the outer conductor provides insulation and minimizes the potential for irritating tissues during a measurement in an anatomical cavity.

  • Thermoplastic film for a disposable container made of expandable thermoplastic particles
    Patent number: 7252866
    Abstract: A foam thermoplastic container e.g. cup, bowl molded from expandable thermoplastic particles e.g. expandable polystyrene, has a film made of a thermoplastic resin e.g. solid polystyrene, rubber-modified polystyrene, PET, polyethylene, polypropylene, fused to its inner sidewall surface by heat and pressure to create a barrier to resist the leakage of liquid and food with oil and/or fatty components and to increase the rim strength of the container. The thermoplastic resin film can be fused to the outer surface of the container for printing purposes and/or to create a barrier and/or can be fused to the base surfaces of the container. The molding machine used to form the foam container is used to fuse the film to the container.
