  • Publication number: 20240159466
    Abstract: A heat treatment apparatus includes a furnace body, a roller inside the furnace body, a heater inside the furnace body, an upper and lower discharge pipes on the furnace body, and a lower supply pipe on the lower part of the furnace body. The furnace body includes areas having the upper and lower discharge pipes, the areas including a first area to an Nth area disposed sequentially along a second direction being a transport direction of each of the materials, a length of the first area in the second direction is shorter than lengths of the second area to the Nth area in the second direction, and in each of the first area to the Nth area, the upper discharge pipe and the lower supply pipe are not arranged in a straight line in a third direction being a height direction to be misaligned from each other.

  • Patent number: 8269732
    Abstract: A portable terminal having a display, and a touch panel disposed on the display and configured to detect a touch input is provided. The touch panel includes a first transparent film having an upper surface and a lower surface, a first transparent electrode layer at the upper surface of the first transparent film, a second transparent film having an upper surface and a lower surface, a second transparent electrode layer at the lower surface of the second transparent film, the second transparent film being configured to overlap the first transparent film with a gap therebetween such that the first transparent electrode layer and the second transparent electrode layer face each other, and a deformable optical layer filling the gap between the first transparent film and the second transparent film.

  • Patent number: 8179452
    Abstract: An aspect of a method and apparatus for generating a compressed image file, and a terminal including the apparatus is receiving frame data comprising encoded image data of at least one frame of a raw image, generating first encoded thumbnail image data of the encoded image data, correcting the encoded image data and generating the compressed image file by using the corrected image data and the first encoded thumbnail image data when the encoded image data has an illuminance value lower than a preset reference value, and generating the compressed image file by using the encoded image data and the first encoded thumbnail image data when the encoded image data has an illuminance value greater than the preset reference value.

  • Patent number: 8153540
    Abstract: The invention relates to the field of display screens, especially plasma screens. One subject of the invention is a glass composition which comprises the constituents below in the following weight proportions: SiO2 ?55-75%; Al2O3 ??1-5%; ZrO2 ??1-5%; Na2O ??1-5.5%; K2O ??1-9%, preferably 1-8.5%, and advantageously ??1-7.5%; CaO ??7-11%; and SrO ??3-9%, preferably 3.5-9%, and advantageously 4.5-9%, said composition having an Al2O3/ZrO2 weight ratio varying from 0.7 to 1.8, preferably from 0.7 to 1.2. The substrates obtained have a strain point at least equal to 570° C. and a coefficient of thermal expansion ?20-300 between 70 and 90×10?7/° C.
