  • Patent number: 10316401
    Abstract: The invention provides a vacuum evaporation device, belongs to the field of vacuum evaporation and can solve the problem of non-uniform thickness of a coating film formed by an existing vacuum evaporation device. The vacuum evaporation device provided by the present invention comprises an evaporation chamber, at least one evaporation source device disposed in the evaporation chamber, and a baffle assembly disposed between the evaporation source device and a substrate to be evaporated. The evaporation source device is disposed within the center region of a base plate of the evaporation chamber. The baffle assembly is provided with a baffle assembly opening used for allowing evaporation substances to pass therethrough and corresponding to the position of the evaporation source device. As the evaporation source device is disposed within the center region of the evaporation chamber, the thickness of a coating film formed on the surface of the substrate is more uniform.

  • Patent number: 9522406
    Abstract: A paint shield for releasable attachment to the head of a paint gun sprayer is disclosed for preventing overspray from contacting other exposed surfaces or components outside of the intended surface. The paint shield is comprised of a single planar sheet of flexible, sturdy, impermeable material, such as aluminum. The shield includes a base panel through which the nozzle of the spray gun is secured. A pair of contoured members extend away from the base member to make contact with the adjoining pavement, ground, or wall to establish the distance and the angle in which the nozzle is maintained from the surface. This construction assures that the width and angular velocity of the spray evenly covers the surface without undue waste. The paint shield may be preformed for specific cross sections of objects such as curbing or gutters.

  • Patent number: 9468101
    Abstract: Disclosed urea microvia structure of a flexible circuit board and a manufacturing method thereof. A first through hole is formed in a first conductive layer of a flexible circuit board and a first exposed zone is defined. A second conductive layer includes a second through hole formed therein and defines a second exposed zone. A dielectric layer includes a dielectric layer through hole corresponding to the second through hole of the second conductive layer. A conductive paste layer is filled in the second through hole of the second conductive layer, the dielectric layer through hole of the dielectric layer, and the first through hole of the first conductive layer in such a way that the conductive paste layer covers and electrically contacts the first exposed zone of the first conductive layer and the second exposed zone of the second conductive layer.

  • Patent number: 9371577
    Abstract: A system includes a computational system to receive a design of an integrated computational element (ICE) including specification of a substrate and a plurality of layers, their respective target thicknesses and complex indices, such that a notional ICE fabricated based on the ICE design is related to a characteristic of a sample. Additionally, the system includes a deposition chamber including a deposition source to provide a deposition plume having a plume spatial profile, and a support to support a plurality of instances of the substrate during fabrication of a plurality of instances of the ICE. The support is spaced apart from the deposition source and has a shape that corresponds to the plume spatial profile, such that when the supported instances of the substrate are distributed over the support, thicknesses of instances of each of the deposited layers are substantially uniform across the plurality of instances of the ICE.

  • Patent number: 9352349
    Abstract: A painting protector which can be easily held with one hand and placed snugly against an area in which paint is not to be applied, such an outlet or switch. The other hand can then be used to apply paint to the areas around the painting protector which are desired to have paint applied. The painting protector can then be removed and the painter can proceed to the next location upon which paint is to be applied.
