The present invention relates to novel chemical solutions suitable for forming polymer brushes on a surface of a solid part. The present invention further relates to methods of forming polymer brushes on the surface of a solid part using the novel chemical solutions as well as solid parts having polymer brushes coated onto the surface and uses of such solid parts.

An explosion proof electronics enclosure (200), is provided having a first compartment (206) and a second compartment (207) defined by a body (205). A septum (208) is between the first compartment (206) and the second compartment (207). A first aperture (209) in the septum (208) connects the first compartment (206) and the second compartment (207). A cavity (225) communicates with the first aperture (209), wherein the cavity (225) comprises an undercut taper (226). A potting (230) in the cavity (225) conforms to the cavity (225) shape, and forms a substantially explosion-proof interface between the first compartment (206) and the second compartment (207).

A display device includes a housing including first and second edge areas; a panel assembly between a window and the housing; a first waterproof member corresponding to the first edge area; a second waterproof member corresponding to the second edge area and disconnected from the first waterproof member; and a first sealing member in contact with the first and second waterproof members, the panel assembly, the window and the housing. The panel assembly includes a plurality of members each protruded further than an end of the first waterproof member to respectively define first edges. Each first edge is in contact with the first sealing member, and protruded distances of the first edges from the end of the first waterproof member increase as a cross-sectional distance from the plurality of members to the window decreases to form a stepped shape of the panel assembly at the first edges.

Systems (100) and methods (2400) for operating a submersible switch positioned below a body of water's surface. The methods comprise: deflecting a semi-rigid top wall of the submersible switch's cap towards a center of the switch when hydrostatic pressure is applied thereto; directly applying a pushing force by the submersible switch's cap onto an actuator of an internal switch disposed in a body of the submersible switch; and causing an operational state change of the submersible switch in response to the pushing force being applied directly to the actuator of the internal switch.

An electronic circuit board includes a plurality of hard rigid board portions each of which has an insulating insulator and a conductive circuit pattern and electrically connects a mounted electronic component to the circuit pattern; and at least one soft flexible board portion which has an insulating insulator, has a conductive circuit pattern electrically connected to each of the circuit patterns of at least two rigid board portions among the plurality of rigid board portions, and is integrated with the rigid board portions which are electrically connected to the circuit pattern of the flexible board portion. The insulator of the flexible board portion is provided with a through-hole at a place where the circuit pattern of the flexible board portion is not stacked.

A power supply device with PCB-positioning features includes a casing, a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) and at least one pair of slots. The casing defines an accommodating space and has at least one opening. The PCB is disposed in the accommodating space and has electronic elements thereon. The at least one pair of slots is disposed at inner walls of the casing for positioning the PCB. A gel-fillable channel is defined between the electronic elements and the inner walls of the casing.

An electronics thermal conduction package is provided. The package may include a housing and an interior space, or envelope, configured to receive a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) with one or more microprocessors or other heat generating elements. The package can be elastically deformed to open a dimension of the envelope, or receiving cavity, such that a complete PCBA can be inserted inside the interior space of the package. Once inserted, the package may be returned to its undeformed, or substantially undeformed, state such that surfaces in the interior space of the package contact one or more of the heat generating elements on the PCBA creating a conductive thermal path from the heat generating elements to the housing of the package.

The present disclosure relates to a cover-securing mechanism for a transmitter housing closed by a screwed-on cover. The cover-securing mechanism includes a securement pin with a screw arranged at a first end region of the securement pin. A passageway, which is embodied to accommodate the securement pin, is integrated in the cover. A groove includes a circularly shaped section and is introduced into a cover facing region of the transmitter housing. The securement pin is securable at a transmitter housing far end of the cover in the passageway such that in a secured state a second end region of the securement pin protrudes inwardly into the groove and, as such, a twisting of the cover screwed onto the transmitter housing is constrained relative to the transmitter housing.

The invention relates to an electrical device (10), notably intended to control an electric machine, comprising: a first zone filled with an insulating material (A) and comprising a first electronic unit (12) embedded in the insulating material (A); a second zone filled with an insulating material (B) and comprising a second electronic unit (18) embedded in the insulating material (B); and a third zone filled with an insulating material (B) and comprising at least one electrical connection element (22) embedded in the insulating material (B), the at least one electrical connection element (22) connecting the first electronic unit (12) with the second electronic unit (18); in which the first and the second zone are each in contact with the third zone so that the electrical device comprises at least one space extending around the third zone and between the first and the second zone.

An electronic unit for a hand-held power tool, having a mounting frame having an accommodation space into which a circuit board carrying a plurality of electronic components is inserted and at least one heat sink for the heat dissipation of waste heat arising at the electronic components. A slot section with at least one insertion slot, oriented perpendicular to the printed circuit board, for mounting an electronic component along a direction of insertion is formed on the mounting frame. The at least one heat sink is associated with the slot section.
