  • Patent number: 11946569
    Abstract: An actuating and sensing module is disclosed and includes a bottom plate, a gas pressure sensor, a thin gas transportation device and a cover plate. The bottom plate includes a pressure relief orifice, a discharging orifice and a communication orifice. The gas pressure sensor is disposed on the bottom plate and seals the communication orifice. The thin gas transportation device is disposed on the bottom plate and seals the pressure relief orifice and the discharging orifice. The cover plate is disposed on the bottom plate and covers the gas pressure sensor and the thin gas-transportation device. The cover plate includes an intake orifice. The thin gas transportation device is driven to inhale gas through the intake orifice, the gas is then discharged through the discharging orifice by the thin gas transportation device, and a pressure change of the gas is sensed by the gas pressure sensor.

  • Publication number: 20240100553
    Abstract: A sprayer, comprising: a container, configured to contain liquid; a passage, comprising a first opening, a second opening, a resonator and a mesh, when the liquid is passed through the resonator, the liquid is emitted as a gas; a first optical sensor, configured to sense first optical data of at least portion of the mesh or at least portion of a surface of the container; and a processing circuit, configured to compute a foaming level of the mesh or of the surface according to the first optical data, and configured to determine whether the resonator should be turned off or not according to the foaming level. In another aspect, the processing circuit estimates a liquid level of the liquid but does not correspondingly turn off the resonator. By this way, the resonator may be turned on or turned off more properly and the liquid level may be more precisely estimated.

  • Patent number: 9054239
    Abstract: A process of forming a front-grid electrode on a silicon wafer having an ARC layer, comprising the steps: (1) printing and drying a metal paste A comprising an inorganic content comprising 0.5 to 8 wt.-% of glass frit and having fire-through capability, wherein the metal paste A is printed on the ARC layer to form a bottom set of thin parallel finger lines, (2) printing and drying a metal paste B comprising an inorganic content comprising 0.2 to 3 wt.-% of glass frit over the bottom set of finger lines, wherein the metal paste B is printed in a grid pattern which comprises (i) thin parallel finger lines forming a top set of finger lines superimposing the bottom set of finger lines and (ii) busbars intersecting the finger lines at right angle, and (3) firing the double-printed silicon wafer, wherein the inorganic content of metal paste B contains less glass frit plus optionally present other inorganic additives than the inorganic content of metal paste A.
