  • Patent number: 9975308
    Abstract: A composite structure with high pressure resistance that is suitable for a flow channel is produced by reducing the number of components while maintaining the excellent chemical resistance and high stress tolerance inherent to a glass substrate and a resin substrate. A glass substrate surface is modified with a hydrolyzable silicon compound, and the glass substrate is brought into contact with the resin substrate. Subsequently, the contact surface between the glass substrate and the resin substrate is heated to a temperature from the glass transition temperature to the pyrolysis temperature of the resin substrate, eliminating gaps between the glass substrate and the resin substrate to bring them into close contact with each other, and causing chemical binding or anchor effects between the glass substrate and the resin substrate via the hydrolyzable silicon compound. Thus, the glass substrate and the resin substrate are firmly fixed to each other.

    Abstract: A sensor and a method for detecting a displacement are disclosed with one implementation having a force sensor on a display. The sensor reacts to a bend of a conductor, wherein a diameter of the bends corresponds to a self-capacitance that is measurable from the conductor. In one embodiment the bent conductor is placed between two circuit boards or between a circuit board and a display, wherein a force applied to either surface causes a change in the bend diameter and the force may be measured. The sensor may be digital with a processor or analog with discrete components.

  • Publication number: 20170350710
    Abstract: A computer-readable recording medium is disclosed. A computer receives first traveling data, in which latitude and longitude of a vehicle acquired at predetermined time intervals from a departure point to an arrival point are corresponded to time when the latitude and the longitude are acquired. The computer reads out three or more consecutive sets of data of the latitude and the longitude in time from the first traveling data. And, the computer generates second traveling data by control through deleting data existing within a predetermined range from a straight line connecting two points at both ends of the three or more consecutive sets of data of the latitude and the longitude in time. Then, computer stores the generated second traveling data in a storage device.
