  • Patent number: 10626301
    Abstract: A light emitting device is manufactured by bonding an LED element on a wiring board using an anisotropic conductive adhesive. In the manufacture, the anisotropic conductive adhesive is disposed on the wiring board, and the LED element is disposed thereon. A polymerizable epoxy-modified silicone resin and a metal chelate compound are contained in the anisotropic conductive adhesive in advance. A pressing unit is pressed against the LED element for a certain pressing time, while the temperature of the wiring board is kept at 160° C. or higher and 210° C. or lower, and the temperature of the pressing unit is set lower than that of the wiring board. Since the reaction between the epoxy-modified silicone resin and the metal chelate compound occurs at a low temperature, the LED element is temporarily connected to the wiring board without collapse of a fluorescent layer.

  • Patent number: 10626325
    Abstract: A transparent phosphorescence material includes a mixture of a phosphorescent material powder obtained by pulverizing a phosphorescent material, a resin of a phenol, and a curing agent. The phosphorescent material powder has an average particle diameter of 10 to 20 ?m, the resin is a modified bisphenol, and the curing agent is an aliphatic polyamine. A mass ratio of the phosphorescent material powder, the resin, and the curing agent in the mixture is such that the phosphorescent material powder is 15 to 25 wt %, the resin is 50 to 70 wt %, and the curing agent is 15 to 25 wt %. When the transparent phosphorescence material is applied to a surface of a metal substrate, the surface of the metal substrate is visible through the transparent phosphorescence material. The transparent phosphorescence material emits a light due to phosphorescence in the dark.

  • Patent number: 10626333
    Abstract: A process and apparatus for sweetening a hydrocarbon stream. The apparatus includes two vessels. In a first extraction vessel, caustic removes mercaptans from the hydrocarbon stream. In a second oxidation vessel, the mercaptans in the rich caustic are converted in disulfides. The lean caustic and disulfides are passed back to the first extraction vessel in which the disulfides are separated into the sweetened hydrocarbon phase. The second vessel may receive a wash oil, such as the sweetened hydrocarbon phase, to remove disulfides from a vented gas stream.
