  • Patent number: 9863042
    Abstract: A method for coating a substrate surface such as a syringe part by PECVD is provided, the method comprising generating a plasma from a gaseous reactant comprising an organosilicon precursor and optionally an oxidizing gas by providing plasma-forming energy adjacent to the substrate, thus forming a coating on the substrate surface by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). The plasma-forming energy is applied in a first phase as a first pulse at a first energy level followed by further treatment in a second phase at a second energy level lower than the first energy level. The lubricity, hydrophobicity and/or barrier properties of the coating are set by setting the ratio of the O2 to the organosilicon precursor in the gaseous reactant, and/or by setting the electric power used for generating the plasma.

  • Publication number: 20170238432
    Abstract: A wireless communication casing is an apparatus that conceals wireless communication equipment while maintaining the signal communication between wireless communication equipment and corresponding wireless communication devices. The apparatus includes an upper capsule, a lower shroud, a tubular housing, a stopper, a mounting pole, a support post, and a pulley assembly. The upper capsule covers the tubular housing which surrounds the mounting pole. The lower shroud upholds and encloses the tubular housing. The stopper upholds the mounting pole above the support post. The mounting pole serves as a platform to mount wireless communication equipment. The support post elevates the mounting pole and consequently the wireless communication equipment above the ground. The pulley assembly raises and lowers the tubular housing and the lower shroud along the support post. The pulley assembly facilitates the accessibility of the wireless communication equipment.
