Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100282404Composite Tape For Use In Tape Laying Machines - A tape for use in automated tape laying machines that includes a multi-layer substrate composed of a plastic layer that includes at least one plastic film having an outer film surface and an inner film surface. The plastic film is adhered to a fibrous layer so that the inner surface of the fibrous layer is bonded to the inner film surface. An uncured composite material layer composed of a fibrous reinforcement and an uncured resin matrix is releasably adhered to either the plastic layer surface or the outer fiber layer surface to provide a tape suitable for use in an automatic tape layer.11-11-2010
20120100335COMPOSITE MATERIALS - A prepreg comprising a structural layer of packed unidirectional conductive fibres comprising thermosetting resin in the interstices, and a first outer layer of resin comprising thermosetting resin, and being essentially free of unidirectional conductive fibres, which when cured under elevated temperature, produces a cured composite material comprising a cured structural layer of packed unidirectional conductive fibres and a first outer layer of cured resin comprising unidirectional conductive fibres dispersed within.04-26-2012
20120100362PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING COMPOSITE MATERIALS - A process for the manufacture of a prepreg comprising feeding a layer of unidirectional conductive fibres having a defined width, bringing into contact with a first face of the fibres a first layer of resin comprising thermosetting resin, and compressing the resin and fibres together by passing over one or more impregnation rollers, wherein the pressure exerted onto the conductive fibres and resin does not exceed 40 kg per centimetre of the width of the conductive fibres, and the resin being in sufficient amount for the resin to enter the interstices of the fibres and leave a first outer layer of resin essentially free of unidirectional conductive fibres.04-26-2012

20090104874System And Method Of Providing Automatic Information Exchange And Matching - A method and apparatus provides wireless transceivers which may be used for various tasks, including the exchange of information with other devices. In one example, the wireless transceivers are a part of a WIC used in an environment such as an amusement park, water park, reception area, or tradeshow to provide various capabilities.04-23-2009
20100156839METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPLEMENTING A CAPACITIVE TOUCH SLIDER - A capacitive touch slider array comprises a first conductive trace associated with a first sensing node. The first conductive trace includes a first conductive line and a plurality of first conductive fingers extending from the first conductive line. The plurality of first conductive fingers have lengths that increase from a first end of the capacitive touch slider array to a second end of the capacitive touch slider array. A second conductive trace associated with a second sensing node includes a second conductive line and a plurality of second conductive fingers extending from the second conductive line. The plurality of second conductive fingers have lengths that increase from the second end of the capacitive touch slider array to the first end of the capacitive touch slider array.06-24-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090243034SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - A semiconductor device including a doped substrate of a first doping polarity and a doped semiconductor material of a second doping polarity. The semiconductor material is on, or in, the substrate, and the second doping polarity is opposite the first doping polarity such that the semiconductor material and the substrate form a diode. The semiconductor device further includes an inductor on or above the semiconductor material, and a pattern in the semiconductor material for reducing eddy currents. The pattern includes a doped semiconductor material of the first doping polarity and a least one trench within the doped semiconductor material of the first doping polarity, wherein, at least at a depth at which the trench is closest to the inductor, the doped semiconductor material of the first doping polarity fully surrounds the trench so that, at least at the depth, the trench does not touch the doped semiconductor material of the second doping polarity.10-01-2009

20090212029Air Assist Apparatus and Method for an Engraving Laser - An engraving laser assembly comprises a tubular rail defining a plenum in an interior of the rail. A carriage is operatively associated with to the tubular rail for axial movement along the rail. A focusing optic is mounted to the carriage for focusing a laser beam to a focal point on an engraving plane operatively with the carriage. A gas inlet is operatively associated with the tubular rail and the inlet is configured for attachment to a source of pressurized gas to provide pressurized gas to the plenum. A plurality of holes are provided in the tubular rail in fluid communication with the plenum. The holes are configured so that, with a source of pressurized gas attached to the gas inlet, a stream of pressurized gas is directed from each hole toward the engraving plane.08-27-2009

20090075497SEMICONDUCTOR ELECTROMECHANICAL CONTACT - A compliant electrical contact assembly for interconnecting a lead or terminal of an integrated circuit having two cantilever beams positioned within a slot in a housing arranged such that a portion of the beams slide along a portion of one another and within the housing as the beams are deformed elastically in order to allow more travel and compliance without yielding or totally deforming the beam. The sliding action during deformation effectively multiplies the total compliance in the assembly above and beyond the compliance otherwise available to elastic compression of the cantilever beams.03-19-2009
