Publication number: 20090168067Abstract: A front plane laminate useful in the manufacture of electro-optic displays comprises, in order, a light-transmissive electrically-conductive layer, a layer of an electro-optic medium in electrical contact with the electrically-conductive layer, an adhesive layer and a release sheet. This front plane laminate can be prepared as a continuous web, cut to size, the release sheet removed and the laminate laminated to a backplane to form a display. Methods for providing conductive vias through the electro-optic medium and for testing the front plane laminate are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2009Publication date: July 2, 2009Applicant: E INK CORPORATIONInventors: Richard D. LeCain, Ara N. Knaian, Steven J. O'Neil, Gregg M. Duthaler, Guy M. Danner, Robert W. Zehner, Alberto Goenaga, Benjamin Max Davis, Randolph W. Chan, Jonathan D. Albert, Glen Crossley

Patent number: 7387260Abstract: A RF MOS- or nonlinear device-based surveillance and/or identification tag, and methods for its manufacture and use. The tag generally includes (a) an inductor, (b) a first capacitor plate coupled to the inductor, (c) a dielectric film on the first capacitor plate, (d) a semiconductor component on the dielectric film, and (e) a conductor that provides electrical communication between the semiconductor component and the inductor. The method of manufacture generally includes (1) depositing a semiconductor material (or precursor) on a dielectric film; (2) forming a semiconductor component from the semiconductor material/precursor; (3) forming a conductive structure at least partly on the semiconductor component; and (4) etching the electrically functional substrate to form (i) an inductor and/or (ii) a second capacitor plate.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2006Date of Patent: June 17, 2008Assignee: Kovio, Inc.Inventors: J.

Patent number: 5685492Abstract: An internal combustion engine fuel injector having a selectively openable nozzle (10) through which a fuel is delivered to the combustion chamber of the engine. The nozzle (10) comprises a port (12) having an internal annular surface (13) and a valve member (20) having an external annular surface coaxial with respect the internal annular surface. Sealing contact between the valve member and the port is provided therebetween along a circular seat line substantially coaxial to the respective annular surfaces. The annular surfaces are configured so that when the internal and external annular surfaces are in sealing contact along the circular seat line, the seat line is located adjacent the downstream end of the passage for delivery of fuel with respect to the direction of the flow of fuel through the passage. The maximum width of the passage between the annular surfaces is not substantially more than 30 microns.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 1995Date of Patent: November 11, 1997Assignee: Orbital Engine Company (Australia) Pty. LimitedInventors: Robert Max Davis, Jorge Manuel Pereira Dasilva

Patent number: 3962085Abstract: There is disclosed a plunger and filter assembly for insertion into the end of a collector cylinder whereby the cylinder with the assembly may be inserted into a vial to skim off the fluid contents therein. A plunger member has a cylindrical shape and a central opening therethrough, one end of the plunger having a smaller diameter than the other end thereof for insertion into one end of a collector cylinder. The other end of the plunger member has a diameter larger than the collector cylinder to engage and seal the plunger member with the interior wall of a vial into which the collector cylinder with the plunger member installed therein may be inserted.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 1974Date of Patent: June 8, 1976Assignee: Abbott LaboratoriesInventors: Max Davis Liston, Gerald Paul Frison
