  • Display device based on electrowetting effect
    Patent number: 8035880
    Abstract: In a reflective a display device based on layer break up or layer displacement having at least two different states, in which one of the fluids (5) e.g. oil in a first state adjoins at least a first support plate (3) and in the second state the other fluid (6) at least partly adjoins the first support plate, in which picture elements are separated by areas (13) having a hydrophilic surface dyes (or sometimes pigments) are added to the oil (usually hydrocarbon but also possibly silicone or fluorocarbon), to provide sufficient optical intensity.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 21, 2010
    Date of Patent: October 11, 2011
    Assignee: Liquavista, B.V.
    Inventors: Robert A. Hayes, Mickael Joulaud, Thibault J B Roques-Carmes, Stephanie A. Palmier
  • Sampling and transport device and method
    Patent number: 7878078
    Abstract: A device (1) for sampling particle contaminants is described. It may be adapted to a multitude of closed enclosures and with it, contaminants and/or pollutants present in the atmosphere of the enclosure may be recovered at a surface. With this sampling method, it is possible to obtain specific information as regards their behavior. In particular, the sampling device (1) comprises a support (2) on which suitable substrates (6) may be positioned, with which samples may be collected. The device (1) is conformed so as to confine the taken samples until the site of the analysis in order to further increase the specificity of the measurement.
