Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include processing steps and subsystems, within automated-biopolymer-synthesis systems and within other automated systems for organic-chemistry-based processing, for removing reagent solutions and solvents from reaction chambers following various synthetic reaction steps and washing steps undertaken during biopolymer synthesis.

Abstract: A touch panel includes a transparent substrate, an electrically conductive icon or artwork layer, a first icon or artwork layer, a sensing layer, a metal layout and an electrode pattern. The electrically conductive icon or artwork layer is disposed between the transparent substrate and the first icon or artwork layer. The first icon or artwork layer is so coated as to extend over the periphery of the electrically conductive icon or artwork layer. The electrically conductive icon or artwork layer is electrically connected to a grounding trace to impart the touch panel an improved anti-electromagnetic interference capability, thereby ameliorating the problem of false actuation that frequently occurs between the icon or artwork layer and the sensing layer in the conventional devices.

Abstract: The present invention proposes a surface capacitive integrated touch panel and manufacturing method thereof. The touch panel comprises a transparent substrate, an icon or artwork layer coated on the periphery of one side face of the transparent substrate, and the inner periphery of the icon layer is not perpendicular to the adjacent line of the transparent substrate. It also comprises a sensing layer which is stacked on icon layer or artwork layer and the areas on the transparent substrate uncovered with the icon layer or artwork layer. Other than that, it comprises a metal layout and an electrode pattern which are formed from the outer of the icon layer to its inner side. The electrode pattern is formed via coating, printing or spraying. This unconventional way of laminating the electrode pattern structures can effectively lower the overall thickness of the panel and increase yield rate.

The resilient terminal is received in the chamber, and is inserted into the through hole for electrically contacting the circuit wire. The fixing element is integrally formed by forging iron and is heat processed to be seamless, and thus has high rigidity and large torque. The screw element extends into the through hole to press the circuit wire and the resilient terminal. The fixing element is elevated to clamp the circuit wire. The terminal table fastener therefore has optimal retention and effective electrical conduction.
