Abstract: A method for operating a conveying system is provided. An overhead hoist transport (OHT) vehicle is provided, wherein the OHT vehicle includes a gripping member configured to grip and hold a carrier, and a receiver configured to receive a signal. The signal is transmitted to the receiver of the OHT vehicle. The OHT vehicle is moved toward the carrier, and the carrier is gripped by the gripping member of the OHT vehicle. A lifting force is determined based on a weight of a carrier, a number of workpieces in the carrier, or a vertical distance between the OHT vehicle and the carrier, and the lifting force is applied to the carrier.

Abstract: An electrowetting display device includes a lower substrate, an upper substrate, a medium layer, a lower electrode, an upper electrode, and a molecular chain layer. The medium layer is disposed between the lower substrate and the upper substrate. The medium layer includes a first medium and a second medium separated from each other. The first medium is a light transmission medium, and the second medium is a light-shielding medium. The lower electrode is disposed between the medium layer and the lower substrate. The molecular chain layer is disposed between the medium layer and the lower electrode. The molecular chain layer includes molecular chains. Each molecular chain has a first section and a second section. The first section is used to attract the first medium or repel the second medium. The second section is used to attract the second medium or repel the first medium.

Abstract: A bond coating is applied between a ceramic matrix composite and a insulative and abradable top coat layer. The bond coating is a slurry layer of fine particles of silicon nitride and silicon carbide suspended in a colloidal silica or zircon binder. The ratio of these materials in the bond coating should match the ratio of these in the CMC. If the CMC is SiC fibers in a SiC matrix, the slurry should be composed of SiC particles with a colloidal silica binder. High surface roughness is achieved by entrapping coarse ceramic particles into the wet bond coating slurry. Thereafter the product is heat treated to maximize bond strength and verify oxidation resistance.
