The present invention is directed to a method of forming a laminate absorbent structure, and a resulting package containing a single continuous running web of the laminate material. Notably, formation of the material is effected by blending a curtain of adhesive fibers with a curtain of particulate material, and depositing the mixture on a moving substrate, preferably provided in the form of a tissue layer. A second substrate, also preferably comprising a tissue layer, is applied on top of the deposited mixture, and pressure applied to form the laminated structure. Notably, attendant to packaging of the laminated material, adjacent layers of the material tend to nest into one another, to form a sandwich in which the density of the material in the package is more than 1.5 times the density of the material after its removal from the package.

A shielded electrical ribbon cable (2) includes conductor sets (4) each including one or more insulated conductors (6), and a first and second shielding film (8) on opposite sides of the cable. In transverse cross section, cover portions (7) of the shielding films (8) substantially surround each conductor set (4), and pinched portions (9) of the films (8) form pinched portions of the cable on each side of each conductor set (4). Dense packing is achieved while maintaining high frequency electrical isolation between conductor sets (4). When the cable (2) is laid flat, a quantity s/Dmin is in a range from 1.7 to 2, where S is a center-to-center spacing between nearest insulated conductors (6) of two adjacent conductor sets (4), and Dmin is the lesser of the outer dimensions of such nearest insulated conductors (6). Alternatively, a first and second conductor set each having only one pair of insulated conductors can satisfy a condition that Σ/σ1 is in a range from 2.5 to 3. Other shielded cables, systems, and methods, which may or may not utilize the dense packing, are also disclosed.

The present invention belongs to the technical field of concrete construction and particularly relates to a design method for a mixing proportion of a self-compacting concrete mixture.

The invention relates to a preparation method for a hyperbranched polymide film with the low dielectric constant. A series of the low-dielectric constant PI films with a hyperbranched structure are synthesized by taking 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidine (TAP) as a branching center through a one-step method. Through introduction of the hyperbranched structure, the dielectric constant of the PI film is significantly lowered, the inherent advantages of PI are better kept, and the good mechanical strength and thermo-oxidative stability are supplied to the film. The hyperbranched structure contains a large quantity of molecular chain end groups, dense packing of molecular chains is effectively inhibited, and therefore the hyperbranched PI film has the excellent dissolution characteristic to be more prone to be processed into a complex device. Compared with a Kapton standard film which is generally used at present, under the same testing conditions, the dielectric constant of the hyperbranched PI film prepared through the method is lowered by 20%-40%, the lowest dielectric constant even gets close to 2.0 and reaches the ultralow dielectric constant level, and the urgent demand for micro-electronic industry development in future can be met.

Employing this method can result in the reduction of article fabrication time and/or the improvement of printed article physical properties, where these results advantageous to printing are dependent on the print process, material properties, and feedstock properties employed during the print.

Coated particles comprise a core of fumed or precipitated inorganic metal oxide having a surface area of about 50 to about 500 square meters per gram and a shell consisting of an array of fluoroalkyl molecular chains at a density of at least 1 chain per square nanometer, joined to the core by covalent chemical bonds and with a total organic content of at least 9.9 percent by weight. These particles are formed by the chemical attachment of fluoroalkyl-alkylsilanes after exposure to an alkylamine and followed by an extraction to remove any organic material not covalently bound. The dense packing of molecular chains in the fluoroalkyl shell combined with a mesoporous structure imparts a very low surface energy, a very high specific surface area, and surface texture over a wide range of length scales. Such features are highly desirable for the creation of, for example, superhydrophobic and superoleophobic surfaces, separation media, and release films.

The present invention relates to a color variable light-emitting device comprising an array of a plurality of LEDs formed on one highly resistive substrate, which array comprises a first, a second and a third set of at least one LED arranged to provide light of a first, a second and a third color, respectively. At least one of the sets is independently addressable. Further, each light-emitting diode in the array has a separate connection to a circuitry, and at least one of the sets comprises at least two LEDs, interconnected in series via the circuitry. Thus, all connections between separate LEDs, for example in the same set, can be done via the circuitry. This also allows for a very dense packing of the LEDs in the array, as no interconnects between different LEDs of the array need to be arranged in the array.

A solid electrolytic capacitor that contains an anode body formed from an electrically conductive powder and a dielectric coating located over and/or within the anode body is provided. The powder has a high specific charge and in turn a relative dense packing configuration. Despite being formed from such a powder, the present inventors have discovered that a manganese precursor solution (e.g., manganese nitrate) can be readily impregnated into the pores of the anode. This is accomplished, in part, through the use of a dispersant in the precursor solution that helps minimize the likelihood that the manganese oxide precursor will form droplets upon contacting the surface of the dielectric. Instead, the precursor solution can be better dispersed so that the resulting manganese oxide has a “film-like” configuration and coats at least a portion of the anode in a substantially uniform manner. This improves the quality of the resulting oxide as well as its surface coverage, and thereby enhances the electrical performance of the capacitor.
