Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for a drop indicator having a magnet installed therein. The drop indicator according to the invention is used to determine whether a product has ever been dropped or impacted, either in delivery or in use, by inspecting changes in the original condition of the magnet caused by the interaction between the magnetic force and the acceleration of gravity, inertia force, and colliding force, etc. generated upon collision. Take a cell phone or a PDA, for example, changes in the indicative material of the drop indicator will help decide whether the faulty product has ever been dropped or impacted in delivery or in use, so that liability can be determined.

Abstract: The all-directional fall sensor of the present invention includes a first casing defining a first interior space filled with a liquid and a floater buoyed by the liquid inside the first casing. The floater includes an indicator having indicative materials therein. The indicator includes a body defining a chamber, which is divided into at least a first portion and a second portion with a first sealing member located therebetween. The indicative materials are contained in the second portion of the chamber and are sealed therein with the first sealing member. When the all-directional fall sensor is applied with a force, the first sealing member would be dislocated and thus the indicative materials are dispersed within the chamber.

Abstract: A method of fabricating an electronic device is disclosed. The method of fabricating an electronic device comprises providing a substrate. A first conductive layer is formed on the substrate. A silylation polyphenol (PVP) dielectric layer is formed on the first conductive layer. A patterned second conductive layer is formed on the silylation PVP dielectric layer.

Abstract: A polymer solar cell is provided. The polymer solar cell includes a cathode and an anode, an active layer having a first surface and a second surface disposed between the cathode and the anode, and a titanium dioxide layer formed on one of the first and second surfaces of the active layer.

Abstract: A method for fabricating an electronic device is provided. The method for fabricating the electrical device comprises providing a substrate. A patterned first self-assembled monolayer (SAM) and an adjacent patterned second SAM are formed on the substrate, wherein the patterned first SAM has a higher affinity then that of the patterned second SAM. A conductive, semiconductor or insulating material is dissolved or suspended in a solvent to form a solution. The solution is coated on the substrate. The solvent in the solution is removed to selectively form a patterned conductive, semiconductor or insulating layer on the patterned first SAM.

Abstract: A cycloolefin in copolymeric (COC) optical communication device. The COC optical communication device includes a core section of functional metallocene cycloolefin copolymer (f-mCOC) having a refractive index n1 for light transmission, and a cladding layer of metallocene cycloolefin copolymer (mCOC), having a refractive index n2 smaller than n1, surrounding the core section and forming a waveguide structure together with the core section. Due to the fact that the various components of the optical communication device are comprised of essentially the same materials, signal transmission loss between heterogeneous interfaces is prevented, and provides excellent optical properties and superior processability.
