  • Publication number: 20240142664
    Abstract: Two types of blue light blocking contact lenses are provided and are formed by curing different compositions. The first composition includes a blue light blocking component formed by mixing or reacting a first hydrophilic monomer and a yellow dye, a first colored dye component formed by mixing or reacting a second hydrophilic monomer and a first colored dye, at least one third hydrophilic monomer, a crosslinker, and an initiator. The first colored dye includes a green dye, a cyan dye, a blue dye, an orange dye, a red dye, a black dye, or combinations thereof. The second composition includes a blue light blocking component, at least one hydrophilic monomer, a crosslinker, and an initiator. The blue light blocking component is formed by mixing or reacting glycerol monomethacrylate and a yellow dye. Further, methods for preparing the above contact lenses are provided.

  • Publication number: 20240084487
    Abstract: A knitted component comprising two yarns, forming at least a heel region of an upper for an article of footwear, where one of the yarns comprises a thermoplastic material. The outer surface may include a fused area comprising a first thermoplastic yarn. The inner surface may be at least partially formed with a second yarn and may substantially exclude the thermoplastic material. There may be a transitional area including a reduced amount of thermoplastic material relative to a fused area. The knitted component may include a cushioning material between layers of the knit element.

  • Patent number: 10669656
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an upper for an article of footwear. The upper may include a knitted component having a first yarn and a second yarn, where the first yarn comprises a core with a sheath, the sheath being formed of a thermoplastic material having a melting temperature. The second yarn may be substantially free of the thermoplastic material. The knitted component may further comprise a first layer having a first surface and a second layer having a second surface, where the first layer and the second layer are secured via a knit structure of the knitted component, and where the knitted component further comprises a first region and a second region.

  • Publication number: 20090181284
    Abstract: The present invention provides a sealing structure for a bipolar plate of a fuel cell. The sealing structure includes a plurality of bipolar plates and a gas guidance and reaction layer. A gas channel is placed laterally onto the bipolar plate corresponding to the gas guidance and reaction layer. A gasket is located between a bipolar plate and the gas guidance and reaction layer. A permeable portion is formed on the gasket corresponding to the gas channel. A concave surface is placed laterally on the bipolar plate corresponding to the gas guidance and reaction layer for mating with the gasket. When the bipolar plate, gas guidance and reaction layer and gasket are fastened, the deformation amount of the gasket is accurately controlled through the height limitation of the concave surface.

  • Publication number: 20090176144
    Abstract: The present invention provides a fuel cell, including a composite bipolar plate and gasket connecting bipolar plate. A sub-channel is assembled at a concave side of the gasket corresponding with bipolar plate. Main channels of gas running through both sides of the bipolar plate are arranged at separation positions between the bipolar plate and gas sub-channel. The main channels of gas and the gas sub-channel are connected through the channel. The airtight layer is assembled between the bipolar plate and gasket. With the airtight layer, the bipolar plate and gasket can be locked and fixed together steadily and tightly, so that the spaces of flow channels for different fuels can be definitely separated, without any leakage and mistaken mixture.
