Abstract: Described herein are dinuclear platinum(II) complexes and their methods of making and using thereof. The design of the dinuclear platinum(II) complexes results in red to deep-red photoluminescence with high quantum yields at room temperature, short emission lifetimes, and fast radiative decay rates. The dinuclear platinum(II) complexes can be used to fabricate red and/or NIR emitting OLEDs.

Abstract: An HGA includes a slider and a suspension for supporting the slider, wherein the suspension includes a flexure having a plurality of electrical traces formed thereon and a gimbal connection area supported and connected to the slider, a first surface of the gimbal connection area is provided with a first adhesive and a second adhesive respectively formed thereon and between the first surface and an opposite surface of an air bearing surface of the slider, an opposite surface of the first surface of the gimbal connection area is contacted with a dimple, and the dimple is located at a position between first adhesive and the second adhesive. The HGA can eliminate torsion and sway gain in frequency response function testing, and maintain AC stroke sensitivity and linearity of elements, thereby finally improving the performance of the disk drive unit.

The invention is also directed to a refill cartridge and to a dispenser. The dispenser includes a housing having an opening suitable for accommodating the refill cartridge. The housing includes at least one of i) one or more walls defining an aperture sealed at one end with a polymeric seal, the aperture being large enough to accommodate a transfer tube, the opening being in fluid communication with a conduit within the housing or ii) a hollow transfer tube, having at least two openings, extending from the housing, one opening being in communication with a conduit in the housing and the second opening in fluid communication with the exterior of the dispenser housing. The dispenser may include a u-shaped vent tube and a double valve liquid pump.

Abstract: The present disclosure is a foam machine which is convenient to use, triggers foam generation and extrusion by a sensor, and effectively avoids cross infection caused by hands making contact with the machine.

Abstract: A lens assembly includes a lens holder and a lens barrel that are coaxial and integrated in a unity, a cavity is defined therein to receive at least one lens, at least three guiding legs are extended from a bottom of the lens holder, and the guiding legs define a plane that is parallel to an installation plane of the lens. It can achieve an accurate optical axis alignment between the lens and the image sensor, reduce total assembly tolerances of the camera module thereby improving imaging quality, and reduce manufacturing cost to benefit the popularization in industries.

Abstract: A modular luminaire which uses LED light sources. The basic frame comprises two end pieces compressed together by through bolts. At least one elongated heat sink is compressed between the end pieces. Each heat sink may bear a plurality of LEDs mounted on a printed circuit board which may have an integral metallic backplate, and is installed on one of the heat sinks with a layer of heat conductive grease therebetween. The heat sinks have fins projecting in three directions, the fourth direction being accounted for by the LEDs, and are rotatable about their longitudinal axes to adjust direction of light propagation. The heat sinks are arrayed in an arc, so that the outside heat sinks shield observers from direct glare from opposed heat sinks. Heat sinks may be extruded to form cooling fins and slots which may receive fasteners such as screws.

Abstract: A heat sink which is adaptable to form a module of a modular luminaire which uses LED light sources. The heat sink may have cooling fins projecting in three directions from a base member and two walls projecting from the base member. Fastener holes are provided as channels extending the length of the heat sink at the base of cooling fins, for example. This configuration enables a novel heat sink having both cooling fins and also structure corresponding to screw holes to be formed by extrusion. One channel may be centered within the heat sink, so that the heat sink can be connected by two opposed fasteners and rotated thereabout to enable minor angular positional adjustment within an associated luminaire.

Abstract: A lens particularly suited to elongated grooved lens holders such as heat sinks for light emitting diodes. The lens may have a curved surface which projects light in rectangular beams and a radial flange for engaging grooves of a grooved lens holder. Curvature is that of a flattened or compressed sine wave, with less than one full wave being formed along the lens. In one aspect of the invention, the crest of the wave, which would ordinarily be domed, may be flat. The radial flange has straight sides to enable contiguity when arrayed in abutment as well as for cooperating with the grooves of the lens holder.

Abstract: A magnetic reader head assembly includes a magnetic reader head compartment, a frame and an elastic component. The magnetic reader head compartment comprises electronic and mechanical components of the magnetic reader head. The frame has a front side and a back side and has a footprint matching the footprint of the magnetic reader head compartment. The front side is configured to attach to a back wall of the magnetic reader head compartment while allowing the magnetic reader head compartment to move out or retract from the frame. The elastic component is configured to be placed at the back side of the frame and to push the frame out in order to press the magnetic reader head compartment against a magnetic card stripe.
