The resin composition is coupled to the surface having the micro-pores by the resin composition filling and hardening within the micro-pores. The resin composition contains crystalline thermoplastic synthetic resins. A method for making the composite is also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2012Publication date: June 20, 2013Applicants: HON HAI PRECISION INDUSTRY CO., LTD., HONG FU JIN PRECISION INDUSTRY (ShenZhen) CO., LTDInventors: HUANN-WU CHIANG, CHENG-SHI CHEN, YUAN-YUAN FENG, YU-QIANG WANG, TING-TING GE, DAI-YU SUN, GUANG-HUI LI

Publication number: 20130149465Abstract: The present invention provides a building material in which a coating is applied to a front surface and a side surface is sufficiently adhered to a sealing and method for manufacturing thereof. In a building material in which a coating is applied to a front surface, a coating film on a side surface is removed or reduced by laser irradiation. The part of the side surface in which the coating film has been removed or reduced by laser irradiation has a width of at least 5 mm from a front surface side toward a rear surface side of the building material, or extends over the entire side surface from the front surface side toward the rear surface side of the building material, or is formed more than a part in which coating film is formed.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2013Publication date: June 13, 2013Applicant: NICHIHA CORPORATIONInventor: Nichiha Corporation

Publication number: 20130140073Abstract: A structure and method is disclosed for a routing structure for connecting the transparent conductive oxide (TCO) electrodes of a touch-sensor panel to a touch controller while providing the requisite cross-over routing. Routing is confined to the border area of a single glass panel where there is no need for transparency. By applying the TCO electrodes to the glass surface, first, and then applying the non-conducting artwork layer above them, there is no need to extend the TCO electrodes above the glass surface and, thereby, subject these thin and brittle electrodes to mechanical stress. Instead, vias are positioned in the artwork then filled with conductive plugs. These provide the connectivity between the TCO electrodes and metal traces above them.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2011Publication date: June 6, 2013Applicant: CN INNOVATIONS LIMITEDInventors: Wei Wang, William Stacy

Publication number: 20130140064Abstract: Electronic devices can be prepared by forming a patterned thin film on a suitable receiver substrate. A cyanoacrylate polymer is used as a deposition inhibitor material and applied first as a deposition inhibitor material. The deposition inhibitor material can be patterned to provide selected areas on the receiver substrate where the deposition inhibitor is absent. An inorganic thin film is then deposited on the receiver substrate using a chemical vapor deposition technique only in those areas where the deposition inhibitor material is absent. The cyanoacrylate polymer deposition inhibitor material can be applied by thermal transfer from a donor element to a receiver substrate before a patterned thin film is formed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2011Publication date: June 6, 2013Inventors: Mitchell S. Burberry, David H. Levy

Publication number: 20130140063Abstract: A method for making printed circuits and printed circuit boards which includes coating a non-metallized substrate and plating an image of a desired circuit design directly onto the coated substrate without the need to image the circuit design on an intermediate silver halide polyester film or diazo and utilizing existing imaging, developing and etching subtractive techniques in conventional printed circuit board processing. One exemplary embodiment of the method for making printed circuit boards includes coating a non-metallized substrate with a palladium based material including a ferric based solution combined with palladium.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2012Publication date: June 6, 2013Inventor: Steven Lee Dutton

Publication number: 20130136870Abstract: A method of forming a component for a droplet deposition apparatus, includes the steps of: providing a protection material so as to fill fluid chambers and; directing a high-powered laser at the component so as to ablate an array of nozzles communicating with respective filter chambers. The protection material acts to inhibit damage to the walls of the chamber during ablation, such as damage to the interior passivation coating, or electrodes provided on the walls of the chamber, and can be removed for example by flushing with a heated solvent.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2011Publication date: May 30, 2013Applicant: XAAR TECHNOLOGY LIMITEDInventors: Michael Walsh, John P.
