In an organic electronic circuit, particularly memory circuit with an organic ferroelectric or electret material the active material comprises fluorine atoms and consists of various organic materials. The active material is located between first and second electrode sets constituting respectively bottom and top electrodes of the device. A cell with a capacitor like structure is defined in the active material and can be accessed for an addressing operation via the electrodes. At least one top ele...

Vibration damper for damping vibrations in a surface (20) of an object (21). The damper consists of an oscillating body (1) which is movably connected to the surface such that it is brought to oscillate so that the oscillating body transmits forces to the object which are principally oppositely directed to the forces which, through vibration, act on the object. The vibration damper displays a locating part (19) made from a shaped permanent material and intended to be fixedly attached to said sur...

The invention relates to a method for the preparation of electronic and electro-optical components and circuits based on conducting polymers. One or more boundary surfaces in the component between a conducting polymer and another material are formed by melting of the conducting polymer.

Arrangement for the ejection of a pressed component from a press tool. The arrangement consists of a number of ejection pins distributed over the press surface tool. Each of the ejection pins is so arranged as to lie during the pressing operation with its tip no higher than on a level with the aforementioned press surface, and, in conjunction with the opening of the tool after a pressing operation has been completed, as to eject the component from the tool with its tip. A characteristic feature ...

A press for the hydrostatic extrusion of metallic billets to form tubes and other profiles includes a hollow high pressure cylinder having a removable liner which forms the inner wall thereof and which encloses the internal pressure chamber. To protect the removable liner from fatigue breakdown, the inner wall of the liner is coated with a protective coating of an organic polymer and a metallic tube is located adjacent the protective coating and concentric therewith, between the protective coati...

A floor heating bendable, electrically conductive, thermoplastic mat having at least two electrodes arranged along each side edge of the mat. The mat includes a material composition whose volume resistivity increases substantially with an increase of temperature of the material composition below 30.degree. C. The material composition comprises a semicrystalline polymer and an electrically conductive filler material. The polymer has a crystalline melting point which exceeds a normal working tempe...

In a method for forming interlayer connections, metal conducting paths in an overlaying layer and vias forming the deposit in one and the same operation. In an interlayer connection formed in this manner the vias are provided integral with connecting conducting paths in the overlaying layer.

The optoelectrical components which up to now have been used in the fibre-optical region have had waveguides of quartz and glass with hermetic encapsulating, which components have had too high manufacturing costs for profitable use. Through making polymeric single mode (SM) waveguides from plastic, for example, benzocyclobutene polymer (BCB) a simple reliable and inexpensive concept for making waveguides can be obtained. Two of the commercially available grades of BCB/DOW Chemicals have furtherm...

A thin-film multilayer structure on top of a substrate has three polymer layers having adapted refractive indices in which optical waveguides are formed. Signal conducting metal layers are located at these three thin-film layers. The metal is etched away at the waveguide cores so that ordinary optical waveguides of channel-type are obtained having a refractive index difference between the core and the cladding material. Holes are etched in the polymer layers in order to form electrical vias. Mir...
