The method includes the steps of preparing a plurality of spacers in a predetermined shape, preparing a substrate on which the spacers are to be attached in the flat panel display, applying a photosensitive adhesive material on an upper surface of the substrate to a predetermined thickness, aligning the spacers on the substrate to attach the spacers by using the photosensitive adhesive material, radiating light onto the substrate from above the substrate to expose portions of the photosensitive adhesive material without the spacers, and removing the exposed portions of the photosensitive adhesive material. Therefore, the spacers are fixed on the substrate by the photosensitive adhesive material located under the spacers. According to the provided method of forming spacers, the spacers are fixed on the substrate by a mounting process using a jig, a temporary exposing process, and a developing process.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2002Date of Patent: June 15, 2004Assignee: Samsung SDI Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kyung-won Min, Seung-nam Cha

Publication number: 20040089397Abstract: An FPD encapsulation apparatus at least comprises a chamber and a pressing mechanism. In this case, the chamber has an airtight space to provide a low-pressure environment, and the low-pressure environment is located inside the airtight space. The pressing mechanism is disposed within the chamber, and the pressing mechanism is operated in the low-pressure environment for pressing a second substrate to bind a first substrate and the second substrate. Furthermore, a method for encapsulating an FPD is disclosed. The method comprises providing a first substrate, forming an adhesive on the first substrate, providing a second substrate to align the first substrate and face to the adhesive, providing a low-pressure environment for the first and second substrates, and binding the first and second substrates to form the FPD.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2003Publication date: May 13, 2004Inventors: Tung-Sheng Cheng, Yi-Fan Su, Yen-Hua Lin

Patent number: 6726792Abstract: A method of making a flangeless seam for a disposable article including the following steps: A first member of the disposable article is provided. An electromagnetic field responsive member is provided on the first member. The first member is folded about the electromagnetic field responsive member providing opposing first proximal and first distal portions of the first member, the electromagnetic field responsive member being disposed at least partially between the opposing first proximal and first distal portions. A second member of the disposable article is provided in a folded configuration juxtaposed at least a portion of the first member to form a laminate including the first member and the second member. An electromagnetic field is applied across at least a portion of the laminate to heat the electromagnetic field responsive member to a temperature which joins at least a portion of the first member and at least a portion of the second member.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 1999Date of Patent: April 27, 2004Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Larry K. Johnson, Stephen J. Lange, John J. Angstadt, Bradley E. Walsh, Fredrick W. Gibson

Publication number: 20040055700Abstract: A carpet seaming iron includes a platen, a heating element conductively coupled to the platen, and a passageway interposed between the platen and handle. The passageway is configured to accommodate a piece of seaming tape over the platen and under the handle of the seaming iron. The handle is designed to protrude between adjacent pieces of carpet that are to be seamed together. The seaming iron may be used to make a seam using a seaming tape having thermal adhesive on an upper side, by heating the seaming tape from below. Advantageously, a seam may be completed without contact between the thermal adhesive of the seaming tape and the platen of the seaming iron.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2003Publication date: March 25, 2004Applicant: ORCON CORPORATIONInventors: James M. Carroll, Robert T. Zajdel

Patent number: 6627018Abstract: A system and method for forming a composite structure involves providing at least two polymeric sheets as outer layers such that a cavity is formed therebetween, adhesively bonding fibrous layers to the polymeric layers to hold the fibrous layers in place during processing, and injecting into the cavity a polymeric core material capable of exhibiting a foamed character and a resinous character. The cavity is evacuated during filling with the core material, and a blowing agent of the core material is activated upon exposure to the evacuated cavity. The core material contacting the fibrous layers is reconverted to its resinous character and forms a relative dense, resinous interface between the core and fibrous layers. Upon filling the region of the cavity between the fibrous layers, a catalytic reaction is initiated in the core.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2000Date of Patent: September 30, 2003Assignee: Advance USA, LLCInventors: Michael A. O'Neill, Wayne D. Kirk, Stuart C. Simmons, Paul Trudeau, Jonathan W. Bremmer

Patent number: 6604266Abstract: A method for manufacturing a piezoelectric component in which a resonating portion on a piezoelectric substrate is provided with a deposit that is sensitive to radiation in a range of wavelengths from 350 to 2000 nm so as to have portions thereof trimmed away to form indentations therein without burning the deposit to avoid generating heat that is injurious to the piezoelectric component and substrate. A laser beam in the frequency range of 350 to 2000 nm is then caused to impinge on the deposit to cause the formation of trimmed indentations without substrate damaging heat in a controlled manner to adjust the resonance frequency of the piezoelectric component.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2000Date of Patent: August 12, 2003Assignee: TDK CorporationInventors: Seiichi Tajima, Takahito Kiriyama

Patent number: 6586060Abstract: A thin-walled laminated synthetic resin body for a liquid container according to the invention comprises first and second thin-walled synthetic resin layers (10, 20), each having a curved surface portion (11, 21) and a projection (12, 22) extending outwardly from a predetermined region at an edge of the curved surface portion (11, 21). The first and second layers (10, 20) are laminated to each other with the curved surface portions (11, 21) bulging out in the same direction, are integrated with each other at the edges (13, 23) of the curved surface portions (11, 21) and projections (12, 22), and are separable from each other at regions exclusive of the edges (13, 23). When a liquid is charged, the curved surface portion (21) of one of the first and second layers (20) is separated from the curved surface portion (11) of the other layer (10) and reversed.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 1999Date of Patent: July 1, 2003Assignee: Yoshino Kogyosho Co., Ltd.Inventors: Sadatoshi Kose, Kazunori Hashimoto, Shinji Shimada
