  • Publication number: 20110014788
    Abstract: A display panel structure having a circuit element disposed thereon and method of manufacture are provided. The display panel includes a substrate and the circuit element disposed on the substrate. The circuit element has a first interface layer and a first conductive layer. Both the first interface layer and the first conductive layer have cooper materials. The material which makes the first interface layer includes a reactant or a compound of the material which makes the first conductive layer. The method for manufacturing includes the following steps: forming a first interface layer on the substrate; forming a first conductive layer on the first interface layer; and etching the first conductive and interface layers to form a pattern. The existence of the first interface reduces the penetration of the first conductive layer on the substrate and improves the adhesive force between the first conductive layer and the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20090053438
    Abstract: An airtight ball has an inner bladder, a sealing layer, a wound layer, a rubber layer and an outer leather covering. The inner bladder is a hollow, resilient sphere and has an inner space and an outer surface. The sealing layer is applied to the outer surface of the inner bladder and has a rubber glue layer, a polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) layer and a rubber balloon. The rubber glue layer fills in air bubbles or holes formed in the outer surface of the inner bladder. The a PVOH layer forms a thin, airtight membrane on the rubber glue layer, keeps air from leaking out of the inner space of the inner bladder and further maintains roundness and increases bouncing ability of the ball. The rubber balloon is a thin layer of rubber attached to the PVOH layer. The wound layer is wound around the rubber balloon that keeps the wound layer from cutting the PVOH and stabilizes the wound layer. The present invention not only prevents air leakage but also increases the ball's roundness and strength.

  • Publication number: 20060205808
    Abstract: The fresh seeds obtained from the fresh fruits of Garcinia subelliptica, were extracted with chloroform at room temperature. The CHCl3 extract was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford a brown residue. This residue was subjected to column chromatography (silica gel) and eluted with appropriate solvent system to give two phloroglucinol derivatives (Compounds 1 and 4). Compound 1 exhibited potent inhibitory effects on the release of ?-glucuronidase and lysozyme from rat neutrophils stimulated with formyl-Met-Leu-Phe(fMLP)/cyto-chalasin B (CB). Compound 1 also exhibited potent inhibitory effect on the superoxide anion generation in rat neutrophils stimulated with fMLP/CB. Compound 4 exhibited potent inhibitory effect on NO production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/interferon-? (IFN-?)-activation in N9 cells. These Compounds may be developed as anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer agent, cure for ageing, and Alzheimer's disease treatment drugs.
