A printed circuit board package structure includes a substrate, plural ring-shaped magnetic elements, a support layer, and first conductive layers. The substrate has two opposite first and second surfaces, first ring-shaped recesses, and first grooves. Each of the first ring-shaped recesses is communicated with another first ring-shaped recess through at least one of the first grooves, and at least two of the first ring-shaped recesses are communicated with a side surface of the substrate through the first grooves to form at least two openings. The ring-shaped magnetic elements are respectively located in the first ring-shaped recesses. The support layer is located on the first surface, and covers the first ring-shaped recesses and the first grooves. The support layer and the substrate have through holes. The first conductive layers are respectively located on surfaces of support layer and substrate facing the through holes.

A mask structure and a manufacturing method of the mask structure are provided. The mask structure includes a transparent substrate, a patterned metal layer, and a plurality of microlens structures. The patterned metal layer is disposed on the transparent substrate and exposing a portion of the transparent substrate. The microlens structures are disposed on the transparent substrate exposed by a portion of the patterned metal layer and being in contact with the portion of the patterned metal layer.

Method for manufacturing a composite tube having at least one double-layered portion with an annular outer layer of a first alloy and an annular inner layer of a second alloy provides a base component of the second alloy, having a central through-hole and an externally threaded section, provides an outer component of the first alloy, having an internally threaded section configured to engage with the externally threaded section, forms a tubular work piece by mounting the outer component around the base component such that the internally threaded section is in engagement with the externally threaded section, and hot works the work piece so that a metallic bond is formed between the threaded sections while the mechanical interlock is maintained, and so that the work piece is elongated and its outer diameter is reduced, thus forming a composite tube.

The present invention provides a method for producing a lithium secondary battery in which peeling of an active substance can be prevented and the generation of metal powder can be prevented when a power collection foil is processed at an electrode production step. The method for producing the lithium secondary battery includes an electrode-producing step of producing a positive electrode and a negative electrode; a step of forming a group of electrodes by layering the positive electrode and the negative electrode on each other through a separator, or winding the positive electrode and the negative electrode through a separator; and a step of immersing the group of the electrodes in an electrolyte. The electrode-producing step has a boring step of forming a plurality of through-holes penetrating a power collection foil and having projected parts projected from at least a rear surface of the power collection foil.

The invention relates to a filter unit (600), a method for manufacturing such a filter unit, and a cartridge (690) comprising such a filter unit. The filter unit (600) is characterized in that it comprises a filter material (601) which is integrated into the aperture of at least one foil (602, 603, 604). In a preferred embodiment, the filter material (601) may be located in the aperture of an intermediate foil (604) which is embedded between a top foil (602) and a bottom foil (603). Such a filter unit (600) can readily be produced in cost-effective processes like roll-to-roll manufacturing technologies.
