  • Patent number: 10229617
    Abstract: The invention concerns a linerless self-adhesive material obtained starting from a self-adhesive material with a liner, by means of a process that comprises the delamination of the liner from a self-adhesive layer, activation of the liner or self-adhesive layer, transferral of the liner over the self-adhesive layer and re-lamination of the two components so as to produce the linerless self-adhesive material. The liner or the self-adhesive layer is coated with a thermo-adhesive that allows for permanent lamination of the liner located on the self-adhesive layer.

  • Patent number: 10196305
    Abstract: A vacuum repairing tool for a crack/seam on surface of an object includes an injector for extracting air and injecting glue, and a sticky pad for fixing on an object surface. A perfusion repairing area corresponding to the crack/seam and glue applying areas for applying glue are arranged on the bottom surface of the sticky pad, and the glue applying areas are on the outer sides of the perfusion repairing area. The injector is provided with a needle. The invention can forcibly perfuse the repairing liquid into the crack/seam by external force in the vacuum state, so as to ensure the sufficient and uniform perfusion of repairing liquid without blind space, it even isolates the contact of the glued space with the outside to realize the genuine dust-free operation, thus it solves the long-existing universal difficulty that the crack/seam on surface of object can't be fully and seamlessly repaired.

  • Patent number: 10186375
    Abstract: Provided is a method of manufacturing a coil unit in a thin film type for a compact actuator, and more particularly, a method of manufacturing a coil unit in a thin film type for a compact actuator in which a buffer layer is formed on a coil layer to prevent cracks in the coil layer and a substrate. According to the method of manufacturing the coil unit in a thin film type for a compact actuator of the present invention, the buffer layer is formed on the coil layer so that an impact to the coil layer during a back-grinding process for thinning a substrate is absorbed, thereby preventing the substrate and the coil layer from breaking due to the back-grinding process and compensating for a difference of deformation between the coil unit and the substrate according to a difference of coefficients of thermal expansion.

  • Patent number: 10150138
    Abstract: To increase the strength and water resistance of a joint between two slabs of building materials, an interface for inserting bonding material between the joins of two interlocking members is used. The interface has two interlocking slabs, a tongue ridge, a groove slot, a fill channel, and a quantity of adhesive. The two interlocking slabs are the pieces of building material that are joined by the interface. To accomplish this, the tongue ridge connects to the first interlocking slabs, and the groove slot traverses into the second interlocking slab. The tongue ridge engages the groove slot to form an interlocking connection. The fill channel traverses through the tongue ridge along the length of the tongue ridge so that the quantity of adhesive can be deposited into the interlocking connection between the tongue ridge and the groove slot.

  • Patent number: 10141124
    Abstract: An electronic component and method for manufacture thereof is disclosed. A plurality of electrodes are positioned in stacked relation to form an electrode stack. The stack may include as few as two electrodes, but more may be used depending on the number of subcomponents desired. Spacing between adjacent electrodes is determined by removable spacers during fabrication. The resulting space between adjacent electrodes is substantially filled with gaseous matter, which may be an actual gaseous fill, air, or a reduced pressure gas formed through evacuation of the space. Further, adjacent electrodes are bonded together to maintain the spacing. A casing is formed to encapsulate the stack, with first and second conducting surfaces remaining exposed outside the casing. The first conducting surface is electrically coupled to a first of the electrodes, and the second conducting surface is electrically coupled to a second of the electrodes.
