The heating and/or sanitation pipe comprises an inner pipe (12) made of a plastic material and a metal corrugated pipe (14) surrounding the inner pipe (12) at a radial distance {circle around (R)}). Further, the heating and/or sanitation pipe is provided with a compressible and/or expanded material (16) between the inner pipe (12) and the corrugated pipe (14) for fixing the inner pipe (12) inside the corrugated pipe (14). The compressible and/or expanded material (16) is adapted to be detached f...

An array substrate, a gate insulating layer, and a data line are deposited sequentially on a liquid crystal cell. At a part of this configuration, a planarizing layer covers the gate insulating layer and the data line. The planarizing layer has a groove formed right above the data line. A common electrode is formed on internal walls of the groove and on the flat surface of the planarizing layer corresponding to the shoulders of the groove. A pixel electrode is formed on the flat surface with a c...

Arrangements and method for enabling and disabling cache bypass in a computer system with a cache hierarchy. Cache bypass status is identified with respect to at least one cache line. A cache line identified as cache bypass enabled is transferred to one or more higher level caches of the cache hierarchy, whereby a next higher level cache in the cache hierarchy is bypassed, while a cache line identified as cache bypass disabled is transferred to one or more higher level caches of the cache hierar...

The invention relates to a sealing structure (6) suitable for a polymer-based electronic device (1), charaterized in that the sealing structure (6) comprises a first layer (7) of a first dielectric material formed on said device (1) and a second layer (8) of a second dielectric material formed on the first layer (7).

A blending of a styrenic resin, and a flame retardant comprising a phenolic resin and a phosphazene compound to a polyalkylene arylate-series resin imparts flame retardancy to a polyalkylene arylate-series resin. The phosphazene compound is a cyclic phenoxyphosphazene compound, a linear phenoxyphosphazene compound, or a crosslinked phenoxyphosphazene compound. The obtained polyalkylene arylate-series resin composition has excellent heat resistance and high flame-retardancy without bleeding out t...

A flexible tubular device that includes a metal wall in which are formed corrugated convolutions that define corrugated outside and inside surfaces of the device. The convolutions are perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the device, and each convolution has oppositely-disposed rounded top and bottom portions. The outside surface of the device has first and second sections with change positions therebetween. Each first section extends from one of the change positions to another via one of the ...

The leakage of light and the disclination occur at the ends of the pixel electrodes where the equipotential lines bend toward the pixel electrodes. A dielectric 207 having a high dielectric constant is provided at the ends of the pixel electrodes to lift up the equipotential lines toward the opposing electrode, in order to decrease the leakage of light and the disclination.

A fuel hose has multilayered construction and a flexible corrugated portion with corrugation bottom portions and corrugation peak portions. The fuel hose includes a rubber layer and a resin layer that is a laminated on an inner side of the rubber layer. The resin layer has fuel permeation resistance and serves as a barrier layer. The corrugated portion satisfies a condition of H/W.gtoreq.1.1 when H represents a height of the corrugation measured between an inside of the corrugation bottom portio...

A liquid crystal display device having a pair of substrates, at least one of which is transparent, a liquid crystal layer interposed between the pair of substrates, an electrode structure formed on one of the pair of substrates for generating an electric field in said liquid crystal layer, the electrode structure including at least one common electrode and at least one pixel electrode, a gate insulating film formed on the one common electrode, an insulation layer formed on the gate insulating fi...

A protective film for a polarizing plate is disclosed in which an contact angle of the surface in contact with a polarizer with respect to pure water is less than 55.degree. and the surface in contact with a polarizer becomes hydrophilic due to a plasma treatment. In such a manner, the protective film for the polarizing plate is readily adhered with a ployvinyl alcohol film employed as a polarizer and can be produced employing processing which is sage in work and does not adversely affect the en...
