Interconnecting piles are formed with regions of the relatively high pile of the first pile surface and regions of the relatively high pile of the second pile surface.

Provided are alkoxysilylated epoxy compounds, a composite of which exhibits good heat resistance properties, low CTE and increased glass transition temperature, and a cured product thereof exhibits good flame retardancy without requiring separate coupling agent, a method for preparing the same and a composition and a cured product including the same. An alkoxysilylated epoxy compound including an epoxy group and at least one alkoxysilyl group of an S1 substituent selected from Formulae S11 to S15 or an S2 substituent selected from Formulae S21 to S25; a method for preparing the same by epoxy ring-opening reaction of starting material and alkoxysilylation, an epoxy composition including the epoxy compound, and a cured product and a use of the composition, are provided. Since chemical bonds may be formed between alkoxysilyl group and filler and between alkoxysilyl groups, chemical bonding efficiency of the composite may be improved.

An electronic component has an organic member between two transparent substrates, in which outer peripheral portions of the two transparent substrates are bonded by a sealing material containing to melting glass. The low melting glass contains vanadium oxide, tellurium oxide, iron oxide and phosphoric acid, and satisfies the following relations (1) and (2) in terms of oxides. The sealing material is formed of a sealing material paste which contains the low melting glass, a resin binder and a solvent, the low melting glass containing vanadium oxide, tellurium oxide, iron oxide and phosphoric acid, and satisfies the following relations (1) and (2) in terms of the oxides. Thereby, thermal damages to an organic element or an organic material contained in the electronic component can be reduced and an electronic component having a glass bonding layer of high reliability can be produced efficiently.

The present invention discloses a vacuum plate and a method for manufacturing it. The vacuum plate comprises at least two layers of plate, a plurality of support structures with different heights, and an organic film. The plates in adjacent layers are separated by a plurality of the support structures with different heights, peripheries of the at least two layers of plate are connected and sealed via a sealing mixture; and the peripheries of the at least two layers of plate and the outside of the sealing mixture are covered with the organic film. According to surface undulation of the plate, the supporting structures with corresponding heights are arranged on corresponding positions between the layers of plate, and the heights of the support structures match with the spacings at corresponding positions in the vacuum plate, so that each support structure can be clamped by the upper and the lower plate layers, and effectively plays a supporting role, thereby reducing the security risk from damage of the vacuum plate.

One example includes a method for fabricating a compound material. The method includes providing a first discrete material layer having a first thickness dimension. The first discrete material layer includes a first material having a first magnetic susceptibility. The method also includes depositing a second discrete material layer having a second thickness dimension over the first discrete material layer. The second discrete material layer can include a second material having a second magnetic susceptibility. The relative first and second thickness dimensions can be selected to provide a desired magnetic susceptibility of the compound material.

A manifold skin/side trim combination for a domestic kitchen appliance built into a cabinet is provided. The combination includes a manifold skin having a main skin body having a first surface and a second surface, and an opening in the first surface; and a side trim of the domestic kitchen appliance configured to be positioned adjacent to a front face of the cabinet, the side trim having a main section, an insertion extension that extends into the opening, and a transition section that connects the insertion extension to the main section such that the insertion section extends at an extension angle greater than zero degrees relative to the main section. An outside surface of the main section of the side trim is in the same plane as the second surface of the main skin body, and the second surface is adjacent to the first surface.

Provided is a glass cell in which the thickness of the interior space has high uniformity. A glass cell (1) includes first and second glass sheets (11, 12) and an intermediate sheet (13).

When a bridge pier is reinforced or repaired by wrapping a reinforcement around the pier, a waterproof sheet having a sufficient flexibility to attach to and cover the interface between the pier and the reinforcement in a liquid-tight manner is useful. The waterproof sheet is attached to the interface between the pier and the reinforcement to prevent water from penetrating into the interface for thereby preventing the reinforcement from deterioration.
