Patent number: 9131895Abstract: An electrode configured to provide electrical contact with a subject's skin and includes a conductive layer and a gel layer. The conductive layer spreads current and transmits electrical signals to and/or receives electrical signals from the subject's skin and has a first conductive surface through which electrical signals are transmitted to and/or received from the subject's skin. The first conductive surface is on a side of the conductive layer that faces toward the subject's skin if the electrode is installed on the subject. The gel layer is formed on the same side of the conductive layer as the first conductive surface. The gel layer has a first interface surface that directly contacts the subject's skin if the electrode is installed on the subject, and to conduct electrical signals between the subject's skin and the first conductive surface. The first interface surface has a surface area larger than that of the first conductive surface.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2011Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Timon Rutger Grob, Rudolf Maria Jozef Voncken, Antonius Wilhelmus Maria De Laat, Judith Petra Huurdeman, Ronaldus Mathias Hubertus Steijvers, Lucas Johannes Anna Maria Beckers, Michael Johan Ferdinand Marie Ter Laak, Steven Ernest Franklin, Sean Scott Wheelhouse

Publication number: 20150144839Abstract: An optical composition is provided, comprising: —a polysilsesquioxane comprising repeating units of the formula [R—SiO1.5], wherein each R independently is hydrogen or a C1-C12 alkyl, aryl, alkene, arylene, alkenyl or alkoxy; —a polysiloxane, optionally substituted; and —particles dispersed in said polysiloxane. The polysilsesquioxane is able to disperse the particles in the polysiloxane, thus providing an optical composition comprising stably dispersed particles. The particles may be utilized to tune the refractive index or another optical property of the composition. Due to the low organics content, the composition has reduced risk of yellowing. The invention also relates to a bonding layer comprising an optical composition, an optical system comprising an optical composition, a method for preparing an optical composition and an optical system, respectively, and the use of a polysilsesquioxane for dispersing particles in a polysiloxane material.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2013Publication date: May 28, 2015Inventors: Marcel Rene Bohmer, Hendrik Johannes Boudewijn Jagt, Antonius Wilhelmus Maria De Laat
