Patent number: 7884914Abstract: A structure for encapsulating a liquid crystal display device is disclosed. Openings are formed in a second material layer on a first substrate, exposing an underlying first material layer. The openings are substantially distributed over the perimeter of the first substrate. A sealant is placed in the openings, forming a sealant region for attachment of a second substrate to the first substrate. The sealant region is substantially perpendicular to a direction of length of the openings. In addition, the sealant contacts the first material layer and the second material layer through the openings.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2005Date of Patent: February 8, 2011Assignee: AU Optronics Corp.Inventors: Kun-Hong Chen, Chang-Cheng Lo, Tzu-Wei Ho

Patent number: 6454267Abstract: A corrosion resistant gasket for aircraft, and more particularly to encapsulation of a conductive mesh in a pliable fluorosilicone compound that will not become bonded to mating surfaces and will also migrate upon compression during installation to the threads of attaching hardware utilized between the instrument, antenna, and aircraft structure, thereby reducing corrosion through the attaching hardware, by providing a hermetic seal around the periphery of the envelope of the attached device.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2001Date of Patent: September 24, 2002Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Patrick W. Gaines, Mickey A. Williamson

Patent number: 6439580Abstract: The invention relates to a sealing element (1) with inflatable bellows (10) for sealing piping. Said sealing element can be e.g. cylindrical in shape and said bellows (10) can be provided with two recesses (14a, 14b) containing a gel (11). When the bellows are inflated, the gel (11) encompasses e.g. uneven areas on the inner wall of the piper or cables in the pipe in such a way as to provide a seal.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2000Date of Patent: August 27, 2002Assignees: Ka-Te System AGInventors: Reinhard Hecht, Karl Manstorfer

Patent number: 6273644Abstract: An apparatus and method for inserting a new service pipe into an existing high pressure service pipe that contains a leak, without the necessity of excavation or separately shutting off the supply of the high pressure gas upstream of the effected pipe section. A nosecone coupled with a unique stopper assembly allows a temporary sealing of the high pressure pipe between the main and the leak point, and insertion flow of a sealer through the nosecone, such that the sealer fills the annular space between the new pipe and the old pipe, providing a gas tight permanent seal. The end of the stopper assembly has temporary stop plug that must be drilled open to reestablish the communication of high pressure gas into the new pipe without the chance of flow entering the old pipe.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 1999Date of Patent: August 14, 2001Inventors: Gregory M. Konwinski, Dennis D. Price, Robert E Barrett, Thomas V. Gobin

Patent number: 6231055Abstract: An article includes an object and a sealing member. The object includes a cavity formed therein. The sealing member includes sealant and a carrier to which the sealant is attached. At least one of the carrier and the object includes attachment means whereby the carrier is configured to be attached to the object such that at least a portion of the sealant is retained within the cavity.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 1998Date of Patent: May 15, 2001Inventors: Francis Dams, Dirk Roosen
