  • Patent number: 7887908
    Abstract: The invention relates to a thermal and/or acoustic insulation product based on mineral fibers for use above 150° C., especially between 200 and 500° C., or even up to 700° C. and higher in the case of rock fibers, which comprises at least 1%, or at least 2% and even more than 4% by weight of binder obtained from a sizing composition, the resin or resin mixture of which consists substantially of at least one epoxy-type resin whose EEW value is between 150 and 2000, preferably at least 160 and/or at most 700, or even at least 170 and/or at most 300.

  • Patent number: 7807258
    Abstract: A composite structure is provided. In another aspect of the present invention, a composite structure has relative layer-to-layer fiber orientations of between approximately 5° and 15°, inclusive. A further aspect of the present invention employs relative fiber offset angles less than 30° on a curved section. Yet another aspect of the present invention provides a three-dimensionally woven configuration where the first sheet is interwoven or mechanically linked with both the adjacent second layer and the opposite third or deeper layer.

  • Patent number: 7687153
    Abstract: A donor substrate for laser transfer comprises: a base film; a light-to-heat conversion layer formed on the base film; and a transfer layer formed of an organic material on the light-to-heat conversion layer. The transfer layer contains a thermosetting electroluminescent material, and an organic electroluminescence display device is manufactured using the same. Thus, R, G and B emission layers are simply formed with a fine pattern by a thermal curing process after laser transfer. As a result, the emission layers are not damaged, and the manufacturing cost of a full-color organic electroluminescence display device is reduced due to employment of a simplified mask process. The donor substrate is advantageous to use in the manufacture of a large-sized organic electroluminescence display device.

  • Patent number: 7371470
    Abstract: A light-emitting compound that can be easily applied to vacuum vapor deposition and exhibit long wavelength light is disclosed. Further, a light-emitting element without inferior luminescence properties due to the carbonization of a light-emitting compound during vapor deposition; and a light-emitting device that is composed of the light-emitting elements are also disclosed. A pyran derivative is represented by the following general formula 1: wherein R1 is a hydrogen element or an alkoxy group.

  • Patent number: 6979487
    Abstract: An improved printed article and a method of making same. The article including a substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface, with a reflective layer printed on the top surface of the substrate, a graphic design layer printed on the reflective layer, a textured pattern of transparent ink printed over the graphic design and reflective layer, and a glossy layer of transparent ink printed over the textured pattern and reflective layer. The glossy layer is printed over the entire surface of the substrate. The graphic image is printed through a four-color printing process over portions of the reflective layer. The textured pattern includes a plurality of light bending convex lines of transparent ink printed on and around the graphic image and reflective layers. The lines produce a reflective glossy textured surface on the printed article creating the illusion of depth and three-dimensionality.
