Patent number: 11131036Abstract: The embodiments described herein relate to anodizing and anodized films. The methods described can be used to form opaque and white anodized films on a substrate. In some embodiments, the methods involve forming anodized films having branched pore structures. The branched pore structure provides a light scattering medium for incident visible light, imparting an opaque and white appearance to the anodized film. In some embodiments, the methods involve infusing metal complex ions within pores of an anodized. Once within the pores, the metal complex ions undergo a chemical change forming metal oxide particles. The metal oxide particles provide a light scattering medium for incident visible light, imparting an opaque and white appearance to the anodized film. In some embodiments, aspects of the methods for creating irregular or branched pores and methods for infusing metal complex ions within pores are combined.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2016Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Masashige Tatebe, Jody R.

Patent number: 10781529Abstract: Anodizing techniques for providing highly opaque colorized anodic films are described. According to some embodiments, the methods involve depositing a pigment having a particle diameter of about 20 nanometers or greater into an anodic film. Additionally or alternatively, a barrier layer smoothing operation is used to flatten an interface between the anodic film and underlying metal substrate so as to maximize light reflection off the interface, thereby maximizing light reflected off the pigment that is deposited within pores of the anodic film. The resulting anodic films have an opaque or saturated colored appearance. In some embodiments, the methods involve increasing a thickness of a non-porous barrier layer of the anodic film so as to create thin film interference effects that can add a particular hue to the anodic film. The methods can be used form cosmetically appealing coatings for consumer products, such as housings for electronic products.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2016Date of Patent: September 22, 2020Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Masashige Tatebe, Takahiro Oshima, Jody R.

Patent number: 10760175Abstract: Anodic films that have a white color, and methods for forming the same, are described. According to some embodiments, the anodic films have multiple metal oxide layers. A first layer can provide scratch and chemical resistance and a second layer can provide a light diffusing pore structure that diffusely reflects incoming light and provides a white appearance to the anodic film. According to some embodiments, the anodic films also include a smoothed barrier layer that specularly reflects incoming light so as to brighten the appearance and enhance the white color of the anodic film. The resulting anodic films have an opaque white appearance not achievable using conventional techniques. The anodic films are well suited for providing cosmetically appealing coatings for consumer products, such as housings for electronic products.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2016Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Masashige Tatebe, Takahiro Oshima, Jody R.

Patent number: 9644281Abstract: An article having a metal surface is treated to have one or more desired optical effects. The surface is anodized to create an anodic film having pores therein. In some embodiments, an electrodeposition process is performed to deposit one or more metals within the pores of the anodic film. In some embodiments, a pre-dip procedure is performed prior to electrodeposition to create a more uniformly colored anodic film. In some embodiments, one or more dyes are deposited within the pores of the anodic film. In some embodiments, the substrate is exposed to a chemical etching process prior to anodizing to create a micro-textured surface that enhances the richness of the color of the anodic film.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2013Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Masashige Tatebe, Takahiro Oshima

Publication number: 20170121837Abstract: Anodic films that provide improved corrosion resistance to high performance aluminum alloys, and methods for forming the same, are described. According to some embodiments, the anodic films have a dense porous layer and a thickened barrier layer. The porous layer can act as a cosmetic portion of the anodic film and have pores that have a colorant infused therein. The thickened barrier layer can distribute defects within the anodic film associated with alloying elements of the high performance aluminum alloy in a larger non-porous film compared to conventional anodic films, thereby lessening the chance of corrosion inducing agents of reaching the high performance aluminum alloy. The anodic films have superior scratch and chemical resistance, as well as enhanced cosmetic aspects, well suited for consumer products, such as housings for electronic products.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2016Publication date: May 4, 2017Inventors: Masashige TATEBE, Takahiro OSHIMA, Jody R.

Patent number: 9628376Abstract: The controller sets control information in a switch over a control channel to control the switch. The switch includes a packet processing unit that processes a packet received based on control information as set from the controller, and a Layer-2 forwarding unit that learns an input port of a control packet between the controller and a neighboring switch or switches and that forwards the control packet on the basis of learned results. The switch also includes an alternative control channel construction unit that, on detecting a disconnection of the control channel, sends a packet requesting a resolution of a Layer-2 address of the controller to the neighboring switch or switches. The alternative control channel construction unit acquires the Layer-2 address from the controller via the neighboring switch or switches and transmits the control packet to the controller using the Layer-2 address acquired to construct a second control channel between the switch and the controller.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2014Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: NEC CORPORATIONInventors: Takahiro Oshima, Fei Gao

Patent number: 9279189Abstract: Manufacturing methods related to anodizing of metal parts are described. In particular, pre-anodizing and post-anodizing methods for forming a consistent and defect-free interface between metal and non-metal sections of a part are described. Methods involve preventing residues from various manufacturing processes from entering a gap or space at the interface between the metal and non-metal section of the part and that can disrupt subsequent anodizing and anodic film dyeing processes. In particular embodiments, methods involve forming a barrier layer or filler layer between the metal and non-metal sections. Portions of the barrier layer or filler layer can be removed prior to anodizing. The resultant part has a well-defined and uniform space between the metal and non-metal sections that is free from visual defects.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2014Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Lucy Elizabeth Browning, Masashige Tatebe, Shi Hua Zhang, Michael W.
