Abstract: A method for manufacturing a patterned thin-film layer includes the steps of: providing a substrate with a plurality of banks thereon, the plurality of banks defining a plurality of spaces; providing an ink-jet device comprising a plurality of nozzles for depositing ink therefrom; generating a jetting information about ink volume that each of the nozzles deposits into the respective spaces by a random method, the jetting information meeting ink volume deposited into each of the spaces is in a range from about 92.5% to about 107.5% of an average volume of ink in the spaces; making the nozzles to deposit ink into the respective spaces according to the jetting information; and solidifying the ink so as to form a plurality of patterned thin-film layers formed in the spaces.

Abstract: An ink jet method for forming patterned layers on substrates permits a predetermined number of substrates to have respective patterned layers formed thereon. The inkjet method, however, further prevents clogging of the ink jet system when not in use to coat/layer substrates. A further step is provided, after all the desired substrates have been patterned, that making the liquid level of the ink in the nozzle changed within each predetermined time interval during/over the course of a predetermined amount of time. By changing the liquid level of the ink in the nozzle in a given period, each nozzle is able to remain unclogged (i.e., the ink in a nozzle does not have sufficient time to dry/harden prior to being jetted).

Abstract: An apparatus for detecting customer premise equipment alerting signals (CAS) in a first telephone having a transmit circuit and a receive circuit and a hybrid line termination for connecting the transmit circuit and the receive circuit to a central office line. The apparatus includes an off-hook detector for producing an off-hook signal identifying whether or not the first telephone is in an off-hook state, an extension-in-use detector for producing an extension-in-use signal identifying whether or not a second telephone connected to the central office line is in an off-hook state, a CAS detector selectively operable to receive the CAS signals directly from the central office line and from the hybrid line termination and a control element for controlling the CAS detector in response to the off-hook signal and the extension-in-use signal.
