  • Publication number: 20230384064
    Abstract: It is herein proposed a novel multi-spectral artificial target device for producing a deceptive thermal and radar signature of an object. The device features a multi-layer structure with a substrate and a functional thermal signal layer, which is provided directly or indirectly on the substrate. The substrate is made of pliable material which is capable of being shaped on a frame. The thermal signal layer includes electrically conductive material such arranged to form an array of independently controlled thermal elements for outputting a thermal signal, which is observable in the infra-red spectrum, upon exposure to a control voltage. The multi-layer structure further includes a functional radar signal layer, which is provided directly or indirectly onto the substrate. The radar signal layer outputs a radar response signal, which is observable in the radio frequency spectrum, upon exposure to an external radar stimulus or excitation.

  • Patent number: 9868312
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for manufacturing patterned porous substrates with hidden color patterns by forming hydrophobic patterns on a hydrophilic surface, wherein structural channels are formed as a pattern in a porous substrate using a hydrophobic printing solution lacking colorant, and wherein a colored area is applied on the rear surface of the porous substrate. Further, the present invention concerns said patterned porous substrate and a method for bringing said pattern into a visible state.

  • Publication number: 20080012151
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an electronic thin-film component, an apparatus implementing the method, and an electronic thin-film component manufactured according to the method. A lowermost, galvanically uniform conductive layer of electrically conductive material is first formed on a substantially dielectric substrate, from which lowermost conductive layer conductive areas are galvanically separated from each other to form an electrode pattern. On top of the electrode pattern it is then possible to form one or several upper passive or active layers required in the thin-film component. The separation of the lowermost conductive layer into an electrode pattern takes place by exerting on the lowermost conductive layer a machining operation based on die-cut embossing, i.e.
