Title: Dlc layer system and method for producing said layer system

Applicant/Assignee: OC OERLIKON BALZERS LTD

Application No.: 10/257678   Filing Date: 01/Aug/2003

Abstract:

The invention describes a device and a process that render possible the production of a layer system for wear protection, corrosion protection and improvement of the slipping properties and the like with an adhesion layer to be arranged on a substrate, a transition layer to be arranged on the adhesion layer and a covering layer of diamond-like carbon, wherein the adhesion layer comprises at least one element of the group of elements that contains the elements of the fourth, fifth and sixth subgroup of the periodic table and silicon, the transition layer comprises carbon and at least one element of the aforesaid groups and covering layer consists essentially of diamond-like carbon, the layer system having a hardness of at least 15 GPa, preferably at least 20 GPa, and an adhesion of at least 3 HF according to VDI 382l, Sheet 4.

The process used for the production of this layer system is such at the initial introduction of the substrate into a vacuum chamber and pumping to produce a vacuum of at least 10<-4 >mbar, preferably 10<-5 >mbar, is at first followed by the cleaning of the substrate surface to remove any adhering impurities and then by the plasma-supported deposition of the adhesion layer. Subsequently the transition layer is applied by the simultaneous deposition of the components of the adhesion layer and the deposition of carbon from the gaseous phase by means of plasma-CVD. The diamond-like carbon layer is then applied solely by means of plasma-supported deposition of carbon from the gaseous phase.

During the process a biasing voltage is applied to the substrate, this voltage being pulsed in the medium-frequency range, while a superposed magnetic field stabilizes the plasma in the individual process steps. An appropriate device for carrying out the coating process therefore consists of a vacuum chamber ( 1 ) with a pumping system ( 9 ) for the production of a vacuum in the vacuum chamber, substrate holding devices ( 3 ) to receive the substrates to be coated, at least one gas supply unit ( 18 ) for dosing the supply of process gas, at least one vaporizer device ( 14 ) to make available coating material for deposition, an arc generation device ( 10, 13 ) to ignite a low-voltage d.c. arc, a device ( 16 ) for the generation of a substrate biasing voltage and with at least one or several magnetic field generator devices ( 17 ) for the formation of a far magnetic field.

The invention also describes a DLC-slipping layer system and a process for the production of such a system, which on its surface side is provided with an an additional slipping layer.

Applicant/Assignee: THE PROCTER & GAMBLE COMPANY

Application No.: 10/430520   Filing Date: 06/May/2003

Abstract:

Disclosed are compositions and methods for treating and modifying surfaces and for enhancing delivery of active agents to surfaces treated therewith, wherein the compositions comprise siloxane polymers functionalized with pendant moieties comprising two or more anionic groups, at least one anionic group being a carboxy group. When applied to a suitable surface, the present composition forms a substantially hydrophobic coating of the anionic functionalized siloxane polymer on the treated surface. These polymers effectively deposit on surfaces that have cationic sites, which are capable of forming bonds or linkages with the anionic groups of the polymer.

The treated surface becomes hydrophobic due to the deposition of the anionic functionalized siloxane polymer, which then imparts a variety of end use benefits to that surface such as ease of cleaning, soil release, stain removal and prevention, conditioning, etc. The anionic functionalized siloxane polymer further acts as a carrier to deposit active agents onto the surface and to improve retention and efficacy of the active agents on the treated surface. The present compositions are useful in a variety of applications including oral care, hair and skin care, personal care, cosmetics, and fabric and hard surface cleaning and conditioning.

Title: Ceria-based mixed-metal oxide structure, including method of making and use

Applicant/Assignee: UTC FUEL CELLS, LLC

Application No.: 10/402808   Filing Date: 28/Mar/2003

Abstract:

A homogeneous ceria-based mixed-metal oxide, useful as a catalyst support, a co-catalyst and/or a getter has a relatively large surface area per weight, typically exceeding 150 m<2>/g, a structure of nanocrystallites having diameters of less than 4 nm, and including pores larger than the nanocrystallites and having diameters in the range of 4 to about 9 nm. The ratio of pore volumes, VP, to skeletal structure volumes, VS, is typically less than about 2.5, and the surface area per unit volume of the oxide material is greater than 320 m<2>/cm<3>, for low internal mass transfer resistance and large effective surface area for reaction activity. The mixed metal oxide is ceria-based, includes Zr and or Hf, and is made by a novel co-precipitation process.

A highly dispersed catalyst metal, typically a noble metal such as Pt, may be loaded on to the mixed metal oxide support from a catalyst metal-containing solution following a selected acid surface treatment of the oxide support. Appropriate ratioing of the Ce and other metal constituents of the oxide support contribute to it retaining in a cubic phase and enhancing catalytic performance. Rhenium is preferably further loaded on to the mixed-metal oxide support and passivated, to increase the activity of the catalyst. The metal-loaded mixed-metal oxide catalyst is applied particularly in water gas shift reactions as associated with fuel processing systems, as for fuel cells.

Abstract:

A method is provided for plasma ashing to remove photoresist remnants and etch residues that are formed during preceding plasma etching of dielectric layers. The ashing method uses a two-step plasma process involving an oxygen-containing gas, where low or zero bias is applied to the substrate in the first cleaning step to remove significant amount of photoresist remnants and etch residues from the substrate, in addition to etching and removing detrimental fluoro-carbon residues from the chamber surfaces. An increased bias is applied to the substrate in the second cleaning step to remove the remains of the photoresist and etch residues from the substrate. The two-step process reduces the memory effect commonly observed in conventional one-step ashing processes. A method of endpoint detection can be used to monitor the ashing process.

Applicant/Assignee: L'AVANT GARDE, INC

Application No.: 10/472305   Filing Date: 09/Mar/2004

Abstract:

A composition of certain dyes with a category-2 hair bleach can simultaneously lighten hair up to seven levels and deposit various shades of color in a single step. The dyes are bleach-stable derivatives of azo, triarylmethane, thiazine, or nitro dyes. When linked at the ortho- and/or para-positions relative to the chromophoric centers and auxochrome groups located on or attached to the aromatic rings of these dyes, deactivating or weakly activating chemical groups enhance the dye stability in the alkaline bleach. The absence of ortho and/or para positioned deactivating or weakly-activating substituents, or the presence of strongly activating groups in these positions render the dye molecule susceptible to attack by the bleach and the eventual destruction of these dyes.

These deactivating and protective chemical groups may be nitro, halogen, cyano, carboxyl, sulfonic, alkyl or aromatic groups, but not amino, hydroxy, alkoxy or alkylamide groups.

Title: Ink jet recording apparatus

Applicant/Assignee: BROTHER KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHA

Application No.: 10/661275   Filing Date: 12/Sep/2003

Abstract:

A head unit is inverted so that an outflow port is in the lowest position. Because the top wall of the buffer tank slopes downwards towards the outflow port, all remaining cleaning fluid that was introduced during manufacture is removed. Also, a notch is provided in the bottom end of an ink introduction port. The notch faces towards the outflow port so that bubbles in the ink exit from the notch and are guided towards the outflow port. The head unit is shipped while the buffer tank is filled with preservation fluid that has high wettability and any openings to the outside air are closed off with covers. When the head unit is used, the preservation fluid is sucked by a purging device and then ink, which has a high affinity for the preservation fluid, is smoothly introduced.

Also, the inner surface of the filters are treated to increase the wettability by ink after the filters are fixed to the bottom lid. Afterwards the bottom lid is fixed to the top lid to form the buffer tank.

Application No.: 10/089292   Filing Date: 28/Sep/2000

Abstract:

A highly immunoreactive viral peptide, pE2, is disclosed which is derived from the carboxy-terminal end region of ORF2 region of the hepatitis E virus (HEV) genome. A unique feature of the novel pE2 peptide is that it possesses conformational antigenic determinants which are only exposed when monomers of the peptide associate with one another through non-covalent interactions to naturally form homodimers. The novel pE2 peptide is proven to be highly reactive with sera from patients having current or past infection with HEV which suggests that the homodimer may mimic certain structural features of the HEV capsid protein. Furthermore, the antigenic activity of the pE2 peptide is strictly conformational in nature and therefore, exhibits immunochemical reactivity only when the peptide exists in a dimeric form. Consequently, the antigenic activity is lost upon dissociation of the dimers, but the activity is restored when the monomers reassociate to form dimers. Moreover, diagnostic methods useful in detecting and diagnosing HEV infection, and the use of a vaccine composition effective in preventing hepatitis E virus infection in which the novel pE2 peptide is utilized are also disclosed.

Abstract:

A sealing technique is provided for forming complex and multiple seal configurations for fuel cells and other electrochemical cells. To provide a seal, for sealing chambers for oxidant, fuel and/or coolant, a groove network is provided extending through the various elements of the fuel cell assembly. A source of seal material is then connected to an external filling port and injected into the groove network, and the seal material is then cured to form the seal. There is thus formed a "seal in place", that is robust and can accommodate variations in tolerances and dimensions, and that can be bonded, where possible, to individual elements of the fuel cell assembly. This avoids the difficulty, labor intensive cost and complexity of manually assembling many individual gaskets into complex groove shapes and the like.

The seal material can be selected to be comparable with a wide variety of gases, liquid coolants and the like.

Disclosed is an oil-less toner composition exhibiting good low temperature release and stripping in fixing, enhanced surface gloss of fixed image, and/or OHP transparency. By controlling one or more properties, such as the relative thermal energy input during the EA aggregation/coalescence process, using a wax having a certain dispersion size (D50), molecular weight and/or melting temperature, the toner particle produced thereby can achieve optimal surface wax protrusion with a surface wax content of about 12 to about 25 weight percent. This is based on the total amount of wax in the toner, as determined by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The contamination of wax on developing rolls, photoreceptor and carriers, which lowers the reliability of the developer, is suppressed with the present exemplary embodiment.

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to a thick film patterned resistor on a substrate and to a method of forming it. The method involves providing a substrate with opposed surfaces, where one surface is coated with a layer of a resistor composition. A photoresist is applied over the layer of the resistor composition, and a desired pattern in the photoresist is formed, where the pattern leaves certain regions of the resistor composition layer uncovered by the photoresist. The resistor composition layer which is uncovered by the photoresist is etched under conditions effective to leave a mass of loosely bound resistor particles at regions of the resistor composition which are not covered by photoresist. The mass of resistor particles is then removed from the substrate to produce a thick film patterned resistor on the substrate.
