  • Patent number: 8486238
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a surface renewable iridium oxide-glass or ceramic composite hydrogen ion electrode and, more particularly, a surface renewable iridium oxide-glass or ceramic composite hydrogen ion electrode, which has a long life due to its excellent physical strength, pH dependency approximate to a theoretical value (59 mV/pH unit), and high surface renewability, and a method of manufacturing the same. The iridium oxide composite hydrogen ion electrode according to the present invention is effective in that, when the electrode is contaminated or inactivated, the surface of the electrode can be regenerated through a simple grinding process because the electrode has high surface renewability, unlike conventional electrodes.

    Abstract: Technologies for reducing the risk of disbonding between two bonded members at areas of differing strain in the members are provided. Where the difference in strain between the two bonded members becomes excessing, movement of the members relative to each other may cause a traditional rigid adhesive to fail, resulting in a disbond or delamination in one or both composite members at the point of differing strain. Disbonding may be minimized or prevented by placing a compliant material, such as a thin sheet of rubber, between the structural members at the point of differing strain. The compliance of the material may allow the compliant material to deform enough to remain bonded to both structural members when subjected to a stress that might otherwise disbond or delaminate the bonded members.

  • Publication number: 20130105211
    Abstract: A low cost and high performance method for bonding a wafer to an interposer is provided. The technology provides designs and metallization techniques for through via glass applications that is thermal coefficient expansion matched to the glass or synthetic fused quartz substrates. An off-the-shelf glass, such as borosilicate based or Fused Synthetic Quartz, is used with a thick film Cu or Ag and/or a Sodium Ion Enriched (SIE) coating or glass, which may be applied or fired onto the substrate or wafer. Polymer based coatings can be applied in a sequential build-up process for purposes of redistribution of signals from a silicon integrated circuit to the opposite side of the substrate or wafer. Additionally, metallizations can be applied on top of the polymers and patterned to create a multilayer circuit.

  • Publication number: 20130110684
    Abstract: A forensic marker is disclosed including a marker that is added to the host material and is detectable for at least the expected life of the host material. The marker is inert with respect to the host material in that it does not significantly affect the desired qualities of the host material (e.g. weight, adhesive properties, structural integrity, etc). The marker is detectable, for example, by instruments, during the life of the host material.

  • Publication number: 20130101757
    Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-functional label slide, particularly to a label slide adapted to be marked by means of laser induction, thermal induction or ink-jet process. The label slide comprises a substrate wherein at least one area is formed as a mark area. The mark area at least comprises the following structure: a first label layer formed on at least one side of the mark area and a second label layer formed on one side of the first label layer opposite to the substrate. Therefore, the label slide of the invention can be marked by at least two marking ways mentioned above.

  • Patent number: 8420218
    Abstract: The construction principles according to the present invention make possible large sheet-like solar modules with low weight, which have great mechanical toughness, are inured to rough climatic environment influences and withstand thermal stress due to solar irradiation and shadowing effects. The solar modules have front and back panes, one of which has a thickness of at least 3 mm and the other of which has a thickness of at most 2 mm. The coefficient of thermal expansion of the thicker pane is preferably greater than that of the thinner pane. In preferred embodiments burling or a wavy structure is provided on one side of the front pane and/or the back pane.

  • Patent number: 8409717
    Abstract: Example embodiments of this invention relate to a coated article including an infrared (IR) reflecting layer of a material such as silver or the like, for use in an insulating glass (IG) window unit for example. In certain example embodiments, the coating is a single-silver type coating, and includes an overcoat including an uppermost layer of or including silicon nitride and a layer of or including tin oxide immediately under and contacting the silicon nitride based overcoat. In certain example embodiments, the thicknesses of the silicon nitride based overcoat and the tin oxide based layer are balanced (e.g., substantially equal, or equal plus/minus about 10%). It has surprisingly been found that such balancing results in an improvement in thermal cycling performance and improved mechanical durability. In certain example embodiments, the coating may realize surprisingly good substantially neutral film side reflective coloration, and may achieve an improved visible transmission, SHGC ratio and low U-values.
