The present invention relates to an electronic cigarette case, includes a case body, a charging device disposed in the case body for charging electronic cigarettes. The charging device includes a charging base, a rechargeable battery, and a control circuit board integrated with a circuit processing unit. The charging base has an electrode support where first and second electrode elements, and a trigger element spaced apart from the second electrode element are all disposed on the electrode support. The second electrode element is flexibly deformable when one of the electronic cigarettes is inserted into the case body to create a charging circuit. The circuit processing unit automatically controls the rechargeable battery for charging the electronic cigarette being inserted until it is full of power, whereby the electronic cigarette case is readily to be assembled and to sue, and has a reliable electrical connection with an outer power source.

A dual mode capacitive touch panel includes a sensor substrate, an electrode layer comprising an array of sensor electrodes arranged over the sensor substrate, the array of sensor electrodes including a plurality of drive electrodes and a plurality of sense electrodes, each sensor electrode corresponding to a location on the sensor substrate, and a shield layer arranged over and spaced apart from the electrode layer. The shield layer includes a predetermined resistance that permits transmission of an electric field at a first frequency and prevents transmission of an electric field at a second frequency, wherein a spacing between the shield layer and the electrode layer is deformable as a result of a force applied to the shield layer due to a user touch, wherein the deformation alters a capacitance between the shield layer and a sensor electrode of the array. A controller is operatively coupled to the array of sensor electrodes, the controller configured to drive the shield layer and at least some sensor electrodes of the sensor electrode array at the first frequency in a first mode to measure a location of an object relative to the sensor substrate, and drive the shield and the at least some sensor electrodes at a second frequency in a second mode different from the first mode to measure a force applied toward the sensor substrate.

A child car seat device with wing components includes a seat assembly, a backrest assembly and a headrest assembly, which are each connected together. The headrest assembly includes a headrest body, two headrest wing components, and two pivots passing through the headrest body and headrest wing components. Each pivot is retained by a fastener or a tab extending from the headrest wing component. The headrest body has a plurality of grooves and the headrest wing component has a rib. An angle defined between the headrest wing component and the headrest body can be changed by engaging the rib within different grooves. The headrest body has a stopper so that the headrest wing component cannot be pivotally rotated further outwards when it abuts against the stopper. The structures of the backrest assembly are similar to those of the headrest assembly. In addition, the seat device may be provided with the headrest wing components and / or backrest wing components.

The present invention discloses an electrostatic chuck for clamping work substrates, said chuck comprising three layers, where the dielectric constant of included non-conductive layers is selected to provide overall lower capacitance to the chuck. In the chuck assembly of the present invention, the top dielectric layer that is in contact with a substrate, such as, a wafer, has a dielectric constant that is preferably greater than about 5, with a resistivity that is preferably greater than about 1E6 ohm.m, whereas the bottom dielectric layer has a dielectric constant that is preferably less than about 5 and a resistivity that is preferably greater than about 1E10 ohm.m. The intermediate layer preferably has a conductive layer where the resistivity is less than about 1 ohm.m.
