  • Publication number: 20100155132
    Abstract: Power cable shields having a monomolecular carbon-based film are placed around electrical power lines to reduce power losses and enhance transmission of electricity. The shield may be a solid metal tube or a material wrapped around a power cable. The monomolecular carbon-based film is deposited on the shield, for example, using a reactor that includes a bed of silica coupled to a diesel engine to produce a stream of dehydrated hydroxyl radicals that become hydrated due to reactions of supercritical water and muon methyl radicals. A shielded electrical power includes a shield positioned around and fully enclosing the power line to prevent atmospheric loss of electrical power. An existing power line can be retrofitted by placing one or more surface treated sleeves around the existing power line. Periodically spaced apart magnets can be positioned within the electrical wire shield to further boost power and voltage through the electrical power line.

  • Patent number: 7288494
    Abstract: An electro-magnetic wave shield cover having an array of first yarn members (10) formed by bundling (48) ends of polyester fibers around which a tin-plated copper metallic foil (12) is wound. The second yarn member (20) is formed by bundling 96 ends of polyester fibers. Doubled-yarn groups (10A, 10B, 10C, 10D) of the first yarn members running in the first direction (warp) from upper right to lower left and doubled-yarn groups (20A, 20B, 20C, 20D) of the second yarn members (20) running in the first direction (warp), and doubled-yarn groups (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d) of the first yarn members running in the second direction (weft) from upper left to lower right and doubled-yarn groups (20a, 20b, 20c, 20d) of the second yarn members running in the second (weft) direction are arranged so that the interlacing is made in such a manner that if the doubled-yarn group, running in the one direction is twice disposed beneath the doubled-yarn groups running in the other direction, then it is twice disposed above the latter.

  • Patent number: 7255980
    Abstract: A black matrix, a method for preparing the black matrix, a flat panel display and an electromagnetic interference filter using the black matrix. The black matrix may comprise a substrate, a titanium oxide layer, a Ni plating layer, and a Ni/Pd alloy layer. The method may comprise the steps of forming a titanium oxide layer, forming a metal particle-deposited pattern on the titanium oxide layer, forming a Ni electroless plating layer on the metal particle-deposited pattern, and forming a Ni/Pd alloy layer on the Ni electroless plating layer. Since the black matrix may have a high blackening density via simple selective multilayer plating without using a high-price vacuum sputtering apparatus and undergoing photolithography, unlike conventional chromium-based black matrices, it may be employed in various flat panel displays. In addition, since the black matrix may exhibit superior electrical conductivity, it may be used in electromagnetic interference filters without additional front-surface blackening.

  • Patent number: 7214889
    Abstract: An electrically continuous conformal EMI protective shield for adhering directly to and conforming with surfaces of a printed circuit board is disclosed. The conformal EMI shield includes a thermally conductive dielectric coating adhering directly to surfaces of the printed circuit board to provide an electrically nonconductive, thermally conductive, contiguous coating that covers all such printed circuit board surfaces. The conformal EMI shield also includes a conductive coating adhering directly to surfaces of the dielectric coating to provide an electrically conductive layer that prevents electromagnetic emissions from passing through the conformal EMI protective shield.

  • Patent number: 7214282
    Abstract: An electromagnetic-wave shielding and light transmitting plate 1 having an antireflection film 3, an electromagnetic-wave shielding film 10, a transparent substrate 2, and a near-infrared ray blocking film 5, laminated and united by using intermediate adhesive layers 4A, 4B and a pressure-sensitive adhesive 4C, the peripheries thereof covered by a conductive sticky tape 7. The film 10 has a conductive foil 11 formed by pattern etching on a substrate film 13, is processed for antireflection by forming a light absorbing layer 12 on the conductive foil 11, and is subjected to matting to form small irregularities by roughening the surface of the light absorbing layer 12. A display panel is manufactured by bonding this film 10 to the front surface of a plasma display panel body.

  • Patent number: 7205098
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a high-transmittance optical filter for image display devices, which may include the steps of coating a photocatalytic compound on a transparent substrate to form a photocatalytic film, selectively exposing the photocatalytic film to light and growing a metal crystal thereon by plating to form a metal pattern, and selectively etching and removing the photocatalytic compound remaining on the transparent substrate using a buffered oxide etchant (BOE). According to the method, a high-transmittance, high-resolution and low-resistivity optical filter can be manufactured in a simple manner at low costs.
