  • Publication number: 20150102272
    Abstract: A silver compound having a silver complex structure composed of silver ion, 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionato, and diethylenetriamine is disclosed. A silver ink is prepared by the silver compound applied for inkjet printing of a flexible substrate. A method for inkjet printing of the flexible substrate comprises the steps of pre-heating the flexible substrate to the temperature of 60° C., inkjet printing the flexible substrate with the silver ink thereon, and heating the flexible substrate under a low temperature to form a thin film of silver conductive pattern thereon. The silver conductive pattern has excellent electrical conductivity and a resistance value proximate to that of a general silver slug.

  • Publication number: 20140161972
    Abstract: A method for forming a conductive film at room temperature is provided and includes steps of: adding AgNO3 into a first solution of dodecanoic acid; dropping n-butylamine and a diluted aqueous solution of a reducing agent into the first solution in turn, so as to initially obtain the dodecanoate-protected silver nanoparticles as a capping ligand; then using cyclohexane as a solvent to apply the silver nanoparticles onto a surface of a substrate to form a patterned film of silver nanoparticles; and finally immersing the substrate into a high concentrated aqueous solution of a reducing agent to chemically reduce the patterned film of silver nanoparticles into a conductive silver film. Thus, a patterned film or circuit can be conveniently and rapidly formed, and the silver nanoparticles can be applied to flexible substrates with low material cost and temperature sensitivity.

  • Publication number: 20140071605
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention relate to an apparatus including a housing and a slot disposed in the housing, the slot configured to hold an input device in a plurality of upright configurations including at least a forward-facing upright configuration such that the input device faces the front portion of the housing, and at least a backward-facing upright configuration such that the input device faces the back portion of the housing. The slot can be overmolded with a rubber compound (e.g. silicon-based) and configured to provide an improved coefficient of friction to reduce slippage of the input device when held in the slot. In some aspects, the housing includes a surface, and the overmolded portion of the slot can protrude above the surface of the housing.

  • Publication number: 20140071654
    Abstract: A method includes forming one or more holes in a flexible fabric layer, infusing polyurethane (PU) clay into the molding tool to form one or more key caps, and placing a flexible fabric layer over the molding tool, the holes being aligned with the key caps. Heat and pressure can be used over the fabric to bond the key caps to the fabric layer. A first layer and second layer of paint can be placed in the molding tool, followed by a laser etching process to etch a portion of the one or more key caps to remove a corresponding portion of the first layer of paint such that a portion of the second layer of paint is exposed. In some cases, the exposed portion of the second layer can be illuminated by the light source, which can be directed to the key cap by a light guide.

  • Publication number: 20100313927
    Abstract: An apparatus for converting ultraviolet (UV) light into electricity is disclosed. It includes a UV-light-into-electricity conversion device and an electricity storage. The welding operation zone has a welding apparatus for welding a workpiece. This welding apparatus generates strong UV light during a welding operation. The UV-light-into-electricity conversion device can absorb the UV light and then convert into electricity. Finally, the electricity storage stores the electricity generated by the UV-light-into-electricity conversion device. Hence, it can convert the harmful UV light into useable electricity. The entire structure of this invention is simple. In addition, it is suitable for a fixed operation zone or a movable operation zone during a welding operation.
