  • Publication number: 20240043710
    Abstract: A conductive ink may include an ultraviolet-curable resin and high-aspect-ratio conductors, such as nanowires or carbon nanotubes, dispersed in the ultraviolet-curable resin. The conductive ink may be fully curable at room temperature in under a minute with a curing depth of at least 100 microns, without heat, moisture, or a secondary curing step. The conductive ink may also have pigment and/or dyes within the ultraviolet-curable resin, and the conductive ink may be opaque at infrared wavelengths and transparent at ultraviolet wavelengths. The conductive ink may ground the cover glass of an electronic device display to a metal structure within the electronic device, such as a metal plate of the display, to prevent an accumulation of charge at the cover glass.

  • Publication number: 20230343914
    Abstract: Conductive traces may be conformally wrapped around the side of a display panel that includes an array of display pixels. The conductive traces may electrically connect contacts on an upper surface of the display panel to corresponding contacts on a flexible printed circuit that is attached to a lower surface of the display panel. The side-wrapped conductive traces may be interposed between first and second insulating layers. The flexible printed circuit may have a multi-step interface that is electrically connected to the side-wrapped conductive traces. A system-in-package including a display driver integrated circuit may be mounted to the flexible printed circuit. The system-in-package may include a plurality of redistribution layers that electrically connect contacts on the display driver integrated circuit to contacts on the flexible printed circuit.

  • Publication number: 20230271131
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a gas separation membrane comprising a furan-based polymer, an apparatus comprising the gas separation membrane, and a process for separating a mixture of gases using said gas separation membrane. The process comprises contacting one side of a gas separation membrane comprising a furan-based polymer with a mixture of gases having different gas permeances, whereby at least one gas from the mixture of gases permeates preferentially across the gas separation membrane, thereby separating the at least one gas from the mixture of gases.

  • Patent number: 8088838
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a cone material in endodontic treatment. The cone material comprises a thermoplastic polyurethane and a filler. The thermoplastic polyurethane is formed by a. isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) or hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), b. poly(butyleneadipate) glycol (PBA) and c. chain extender, wherein the molar ratio of PBA and the diisocyanate is equal to or more than 0.8. By changing the molar composition of the components such as polyol and diisocyanate, physical and chemical property of the disclosed cone material in endodontic treatment can be adjusted.
