  • Publication number: 20030207645
    Abstract: An improved light-emitting panel having a plurality of micro-components sandwiched between two substrates is disclosed. Each micro-component contains a gas or gas-mixture capable of ionization when a sufficiently large voltage is supplied across the micro-component via at least two electrodes. An improved method of manufacturing a light-emitting panel is also disclosed, which uses a web fabrication process to manufacturing light-emitting displays as part of a high-speed, continuous inline process.

  • Publication number: 20030207644
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a light-emitting panel sandwiches a plurality of micro-components between two flexible substrates in a web configuration. Each micro-component contains a gas or gas-mixture capable of ionization when a sufficiently large voltage is supplied across the micro-component via at least two electrodes. The micro-components are disposed in sockets formed at pre-determined locations in a first dielectric substrate so that they are adjacent to electrodes imprinted in the first substrate. Dielectric layers and the conductors for acting as electrodes are formed using liquid processes or combined liquid and sheet processes, where liquid materials are applied to the surface of the underlying layer, then cured to complete the formation of layers. The assembled layers are coated with a protective coating and may include an RF shield. In one embodiment, patterning of the conductors is achieved by applying conductive ink using an ink jet process.

  • Patent number: 5753909
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for analyzing ions by determining times of flight including using a collision cell to activate ions toward fragmentation and a deflector to direct ions away from their otherwise intended or parallel course. Deflectors are used as gates, so that particular ions may be selected for deflection, while others are allowed to continue along their parallel or otherwise straight path, from the ion source, through a flight tube, and eventually, to a detector. According to the present invention, a postselector, in the form of two deflection plates is used as an ion deflector and is encountered by ions after the collision cell as they progress through the spectrometer.

  • Patent number: 5526372
    Abstract: High energy bursts are produced from a solid state laser operated in a heat capacity limited regime. Instead of cooling the laser, the active medium is thermally well isolated. As a result, the active medium will heat up until it reaches some maximum acceptable temperature. The waste heat is stored in the active medium itself. Therefore, the amount of energy the laser can put out during operation is proportional to its mass, the heat capacity of the active medium, and the temperature difference over which it is being operated. The high energy burst capacity of a heat capacity operated solid state laser, together with the absence of a heavy, power consuming steady state cooling system for the active medium, will make a variety of applications possible. Alternately, cooling takes place during a separate sequence when the laser is not operating. Industrial applications include new material working processes.

  • Patent number: T973015
    Abstract: the resistance to stress cracking or cathodic disbonding of an external polyolefin coating on a cathodically protected pipeline, especially a steel pipe for conveying fuel gas at high pressure, is improved by including 1-18%, preferably 4-8%, by weight, based on the polyolefin, of cured epoxy resin in at least the region of the polyolefin coating adjacent the pipe. The concentration of cured epoxy resin may be uniform throughout, or the coating may comprise a primer layer of polyolefin containing the epoxy resin adjacent the pipe and an outer layer of polyolefin containing no epoxy resin.Suitably cured epoxy resins are described in Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology 2nd Ed. Vol. 8, pp. 294-312. The polyolefin is preferably low-density polyethylene but may also be an ethylene copolymer, high-density polyethylene, polypropylene or a propylene copolymer with up to 20% by weight of ethylene. Its melt flow index is preferably 0.1-200 when used as primer and 0.1-2 otherwise (units g/10 min.
