Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Thermoformable polymer thick film transparent conductor with haptic response and its use in capacitive switch circuits." This invention focuses on a polymer thick film transparent conductive composition that possesses haptic response capabilities. It is particularly useful in applications where thermoforming of the base substrate occurs, such as in capacitive switches. The invention utilizes polycarbonate substrates and allows the polymer thick film conductive composition to be used without any barrier layer. Depending on the design, the thermoformable transparent conductor can be positioned either below or on top of a thermoformable silver conductor. Additionally, the presence of an encapsulant layer over the dried polymer thick film conductive composition enhances the performance of thermoformable electric circuits during the injection molding process.
Another significant patent is the "Nickel-gold plateable thick film silver paste." This patent describes low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) devices that feature external silver-containing electrical contacts. These contacts are sequentially plated with nickel and gold metals, utilizing a defined silver paste composition for manufacturing.
