Abstract: A touch display device includes a display module, a peripheral connector member, and a touch module. The display module includes a liquid crystal layer and an optical layered structure that is stacked on the liquid crystal layer. The peripheral connector member is disposed on a periphery of a top surface of the optical layered structure. The top surface of the optical layered structure faces away from the liquid crystal layer. The touch module is stacked on the peripheral connector member opposite to the optical layered structure so as to form a gap between the touch module and the optical layered structure. The optical layered structure has a haze ranging from 25% to 44%. The gap has a height that is measured from the touch module to the optical layered structure, and that ranges from 0.01 to 3 mm.

Abstract: A process for stabilizing a sensitive substance; (a) plating a sensitive substance onto a solid carrier under a controlled atmosphere to reduce loss of the sensitive substance; (b) encapsulating the plated material under controlled atmosphere and airflow to reduce volatilization during the process and stabilize the sensitive substance.

Abstract: The present invention is an encapsulated substrate, and in particular, a substrate encapsulated with a low melt vegetable oil. The use of a low melt vegetable oil has several advantages over conventional vegetable oil products, especially when used in food systems. In one embodiment, the low melt vegetable oil is a high laurate vegetable oil, and in particular, a canola high laurate vegetable oil. In another embodiment, a food grade acid is encapsulated with a low melt oil, and the encapsulated acid is used in the manufacture of low temperature meat products such as sausage. In another embodiment, a live culture of microorganisms is encapsulated using the low melt vegetable oil.
