Treatment compositions can be used as a pretreatment prior to washing, through soaking, or added to the treatment liquor, that is either the wash or rinse cycle of an automatic washing machine, to first provide and then maintain and restore the beneficial fabric protection benefits imparted to the fabrics during a first treatment operation. The fabric treatment is complete when the fabric is cured by drying and/or heating. Following use of a first treatment composition, protective benefits are maintained and restored by means of a second treatment operation employing a second treatment composition with lower active levels of the protective agents to provide for economical and continual maintenance of the imparted fabric protection benefits through a delivered second fabric treatment benefit with each subsequent treatment operation employing the fabric treatment compositions.

A touch panel is constructed of a top sheet member having a resistive membrane on its inner surface and a base sheet member having a resistive membrane on its inner surface, the top and base sheet members facing each other with dot spacers being located in between. The top sheet member is formed by laminating a PET film, a polarizing film, a ¼lambd retardation film, and a light isotropic film in this order from its outer surface. The PET film has a thermal expansion coefficient lower than the other films underneath, such as the polarizing film. Accordingly, the PET film serves to keep the other films of the top sheet member from bulging outward when the temperature rises.

A flip chip package and a process of forming the same are disclosed. After aligning a chip on a circuit substrate according to the fiducial marks formed on the circuit substrate, a barrier material block is disposed on each of the fiducial marks. Thereafter, a fixing treatment, such a reflow or a curing treatment, is performed to transform the barrier material blocks into barrier layers for covering the fiducial marks respectively. The barrier layers are adapted for resisting exposure of fiducial marks from external air or moisture to reduce the possibility of fiducial marks from being oxidized. Thus, the reliability and the aesthetic appearance of the flip chip package can be effectively promoted.

A method of protecting steel in concrete is disclosed. A voltage between two connections of a power supply is generated such that current can flow between a negative connection and a positive connection. In a first protection step, one of the connections of the power supply is electrically connected to the steel to be cathodically protected and a sacrificial anode is electrically connected in series with the other connection of the power supply such that the voltage generated by the power supply is added to the voltage generated between the sacrificial anode and the steel to produce a voltage greater than the voltage generated between the sacrificial anode and the steel alone. The power supply may be a cell or battery and may be combined with the sacrificial anode to form a single unit. In a second protection step that may follow the first protection step, the voltage generated by the power supply is no longer present and a current flows between the sacrificial anode and the steel to continue protecting and/or passivating the steel. This may be achieved by connecting the sacrificial anode directly to the steel.
