Publication number: 20140242351Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for laser marking an object. In the method, a coating material is applied on a surface of a predetermined part of the object made of resin so as to provide a coated region on the object. The coated region is different in color from the object. Subsequently, laser is emitted onto a part of the coated region to remove the coating material from the object so as to provide a non-coated region having a predetermined shape within the coated region on the object. Moreover, the laser is emitted to the non-coated region to change a color of a resin surface of the object in the non-coated region. Accordingly, the laser marking can be performed at low cost and high speed without requiring a special device.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2014Publication date: August 28, 2014Applicant: DENSO CORPORATIONInventor: Jun Ohnishi

Publication number: 20140242385Abstract: A fiber formed from a polymer composition that comprises a liquid crystalline polymer and an aromatic amide oligomer is provided. The present inventors have discovered that the oligomer can act as a flow aid for the polymer, which can provide a variety of different benefits. For example, the use of the oligomer during polymerization can lower the melt viscosity of the polymer as it is formed. This enables the formation of high molecular weight polymers that do not solidify within the reactor vessel. The formation of high molecular weight polymers during melt polymerization can, in turn, provide a variety of benefits, such as allowing for higher molecular weight polymers to be formed through additional processing (e.g., solid state polymerization) than conventionally possible, as well as enhancing the melt strength of the polymer composition and thereby aiding in the fiber formation process.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2014Publication date: August 28, 2014Applicant: Ticona LLCInventors: Kamlesh P.

Publication number: 20140242389Abstract: A process of growth in the thickness of at least one facet of a colloidal inorganic sheet, by sheet is meant a structure having at least one dimension, the thickness, of nanometric size and lateral dimensions great compared to the thickness, typically more than 5 times the thickness. The process allows the deposition of at least one monolayer of atoms on at least one inorganic colloidal sheet, this monolayer being constituted of atoms of the type of those contained or not in the sheet. Homostructured and heterostructured materials resulting from such process as well as the applications of the materials are also described. By homostructured is meant a material of homogeneous composition in the thickness and by heterostructured is meant a material of heterogeneous composition in the thickness.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2012Publication date: August 28, 2014Applicant: NEXDOTInventor: Benoit Mahler

Publication number: 20140242390Abstract: Methods are provided for measuring the asymmetry of glass-sheet manufacturing processes. The methods include subjecting glass sheets or test samples taken from glass sheets to an ion-exchange process and measuring warp values. Metrics for the asymmetry of the glass-sheet manufacturing process are then obtained from the warp values. In one embodiment, the metric is independent of the geometry of the glass sheets or the test samples (the BM1 metric); in another embodiment, the metric is independent of the geometry of the glass sheets or the test samples and substantially independent of the ion-exchange process used in the testing (the ASYM metric).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2014Publication date: August 28, 2014Applicant: CORNING INCORPORATEDInventor: DOUGLAS CLIPPINGER ALLAN

Publication number: 20140242393Abstract: The invention provides materials and methods for forming coatings on substrates. The coatings are durable and resistant to damage from environmental, chemical, thermal, and/or radiative sources. In some embodiments, the coatings comprise bilayers of electrostatically charged materials. The bilayers are created by alternately applying solutions comprising water-soluble, electrostatically charged materials. Durability is imparted to the coatings by the formation of crosslinks that are formed within and between layers after deposition of the coatings.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2013Publication date: August 28, 2014Applicant: Svaya Nanotechnoligies, Inc.Inventors: David Olmeijer, J.
