Patent number: 7384497Abstract: A method for encapsulating a cellulose based substrate with polymeric film involves raising the temperature of the respective films using an electromagnetic radiation source and providing a pressure differential between an environment defined between the films and an environment external to the films so that conformance of the films to the cellulose based substrates is promoted. The cellulose based substrate is entirely encapsulated by the plastic films and the films are sealed around the peripheral edges of the cellulose based substrate as well as edges that are defined by slots and cutouts.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2004Date of Patent: June 10, 2008Assignee: Weyerhaeuser CompanyInventors: Elmer Christensen, Brian C. Horsfield, Gerald Wilhite, Herbert D. Muise, H. Donald Muise, Jr., legal representative

Patent number: 7371303Abstract: A fastening device for fastening a small component, in particular a stud provided with an adhesive flange, to a mounting surface using a heat-activated adhesive that creates an adhesive bond between the component and the mounting surface, has an induction coil to heat the component and/or the adhesive and a holding mechanism which holds the component while the fastening device moves to the bonding position. On the side facing the mounting surface is a bearing surface for the component toward which the component can be brought from outside. The holding device can be advanced to the component by the induction coil and has an electromagnet for generating a holding force that is directed toward the bearing surface.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2006Date of Patent: May 13, 2008Assignee: Newfrey LLCInventor: Klaus Gisbert Schmitt

Patent number: 7368034Abstract: A method of manufacturing a surface acoustic wave device includes interposing a thermosetting adhesive between the insulator that is inserted in the housing portion while the comb-shaped electrodes are directed upward and a bottom portion of the housing portion, and curing the adhesive by heating in a state in which a conductive member is disposed near the opening portion to come in contact with the comb-shaped electrodes, such that the conductive member is separated from the comb-shaped electrodes. Accordingly, a process of forming a conductive film made of carbon and a process of removing the conductive film are not required. Therefore, it is possible to provide a method of manufacturing a surface acoustic wave device that has high productivity and that prevents pyroelectric breakdown between the comb-shaped electrodes at low cost.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2005Date of Patent: May 6, 2008Assignee: Alps Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shiro Ikeda, Satoshi Waga

Patent number: 7361250Abstract: A method of producing a prism comprising a first prism component and a second prism component that are joined together along a partial reflection plane that is inclined with respect to the optical axis. The method has steps comprising measuring the refractive index for multiple base materials constructing the first prism component and the second prism component and joining the base materials having approximately the same refractive index measurements together along a partial reflection plane in such a manner that the refractive index measurements are associated with specified positions during the course of joining.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2004Date of Patent: April 22, 2008Assignee: NIDEC Sankyo CorporationInventor: Hiroshi Sakai

Patent number: 7344613Abstract: A method for laminating glass sheets wherein laminating film (1) is placed over one surface of a first glass sheet (2) and the film (1) is heated with short wave radiation (4) to a bonding temperature. Heated areas (8) of the film (1) are successively pressed to the glass sheet (2) in a continuous manner for purging air from between the film (1) and the first glass sheet (2) and for applying bonding pressure. The pressed film areas (8) are then cooled whereby an appropriate bond is attained between the film (1) and the first glass sheet (2). Thereafter the first glass sheet (2) with its bonded film is subjected to a partial vacuum and a second glass sheet (10) is positioned on the film (1) and the second glass sheet (10) is pressed (11) to the film (1).Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2006Date of Patent: March 18, 2008Assignee: Gyrotron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Vladislav Sklyarevich, Mykhaylo Shevelev

Patent number: 7318876Abstract: A pre-loaded display strip, apparatus for producing the display strip and methods for producing the display strip are disclosed. The display strip comprises a strip, a hanger at one end of the strip, and a plurality of items adhesively secured to the strip in staggered locations. Apparatus for producing the display strip comprises a station for producing display strip material having discreet portions or pieces of two sided tape thereon or display strip material having a single piece of two sided tape extending the length thereof with discreet portions of the two sided tape exposed. Items or packaging for items are adhesively secured to the two sided tape. A structure composed of two layers of one-sided adhesive tape, adhesive side out, and methods for the production of the structure are also disclosed. A display strip with discreet pieces of adhesive sleeve strips made from one-sided adhesive tape is disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2004Date of Patent: January 15, 2008Inventor: James Belt

Patent number: 7279063Abstract: A method of bonding a cover plate over OLED devices formed on a surface of a device substrate wherein each one of the OLED devices includes at least one electrical interconnect area includes providing a flow-preventing pattern on a surface of the cover plate or on the OLED devices absent from the electrical interconnect areas of the OLED devices to prevent flow of a flowable adhesive material into at least the outermost portions of such interconnect areas; dispensing a selected amount of a flowable curable adhesive material on the surface of the cover plate in registration with the flow-preventing pattern; engaging the cover plate in alignment with the substrate; and curing the adhesive material.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2004Date of Patent: October 9, 2007Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: Joseph E. Yokajty, Jeffrey P. Serbicki, Steven A. Van Slyke

Patent number: 7247216Abstract: A method for encapsulating a cellulose based substrate with polymeric films involves heating the respective films using a non-electrogmagnetic radiation heating source and providing a pressure differential between an environment defined between the films and an environment external to the films so that conformance of the film to the cellulose based substrate is promoted. The cellulose based substrate is entirely encapsulated by the films and the films are sealed around the peripheral edges of the container as well as edges that are defined adjacent slots and cutouts.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2004Date of Patent: July 24, 2007Assignee: Weyerhaeuser Co.Inventors: H.
