By configuring a timepiece component to include an intermediate film provided on at least a portion of a surface of a base material formed by using a nonconductive first material as a main component and to include a buffer film stacked on the intermediate film and mainly composed of a second material having a tenacity higher than that of the first material, the timepiece component may be manufactured with high precision, the weight thereof may be reduced, and even when the base material is formed by using a brittle material such as silicon, the timepiece component becomes resistant to breakage and capable of exhibiting high strength when an impact is externally applied.

A method to produce a light-emitting device package includes mounting junctions on pads of a metalized substrate, where the junctions are at least partially electrically insulated from each other, and forming wavelength converters, where each wavelength converter is located over a different junction and separated by a gap from neighboring wavelength converters.

Synthetic brochosomes can be prepared by disposing a monolayer of first polymer microspheres on a substrate and forming a layer of metal on the monolayer of the first polymer microspheres. A monolayer of second polymer microspheres is then disposed on the layer of metal to form a template. The second polymer microspheres are smaller than the first polymer microspheres. A brochosome material is then electrodeposited on the template. The brochosome material is selected from the group consisting of a metal, a metal oxide, a polymer or a hybrid thereof. The first polymer microspheres and the second polymer microspheres are then removed to form a coating of synthetic brochosomes of the brochosome material on the substrate.

Electrode assemblies useful, inter alia, for mounting thin rods in Siemens reactors for manufacture of polysilicon, have a base segment which receives a holder segment, and an insert, interfacial surface(s) of which have depressions and/or elevations which reduce contact surface area, allowing the holder, base segment, insert, and optional intermediate segments to be constructed of materials having different thermal conductivities.

Graphene electrodes-based supercapacitors are in demand due to superior electrochemical characteristics. However, commercial applications have been limited by inferior electrode cycle life. A method to fabricate highly efficient supercapacitor electrodes using pristine graphene sheets vertically-stacked and electrically connected to the carbon fibers which results in vertically-aligned graphene-carbon fiber nanostructure is disclosed. The vertically-aligned graphene-carbon fiber electrode prepared by electrophoretic deposition possesses a mesoporous three-dimensional architecture which enabled faster and efficient electrolyte-ion diffusion with a specific capacitance of 333.3 F g.sup.−1. The electrodes have electrochemical cycling stability of more than 100,000 cycles with 100% capacitance retention. Apart from the electrochemical double layer charge storage, the oxygen-containing surface moieties and α-Ni(OH).sub.2 present on the graphene sheets enhance the charge storage by faradaic reactions. This enables the assembled device to provide a gravimetric energy density of 76 W h kg.sup.−1 with a 100% capacitance retention even after 1,000 bending cycles.
