EMBEDDED WATERPROOF MEMBRANE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240314479 titled 'EMBEDDED WATERPROOF MEMBRANE
The abstract of the patent application describes an apparatus with a substrate that has a hole and a vent structure embedded within it to allow air flow while preventing liquid penetration.
- The substrate is a multi-layer substrate.
- The vent structure includes an air-permeable membrane.
- The membrane prevents liquid from entering through the hole.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in electronic devices to prevent damage from liquid spills. - It could also be applied in medical devices to ensure proper ventilation while maintaining a sterile environment.
Problems Solved: - Prevents liquid damage to electronic components. - Ensures proper ventilation in sensitive equipment.
Benefits: - Increased durability of electronic devices. - Enhanced safety in medical equipment.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Ventilation System for Electronic Devices" This technology could be marketed to electronics manufacturers looking to improve the durability of their products. It could also be attractive to medical device companies seeking to enhance the safety and reliability of their equipment.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the air-permeable membrane prevent liquid penetration?
- The membrane is designed to allow air to pass through while blocking the passage of liquids.
2. What are the potential drawbacks of using a multi-layer substrate in this technology?
- The multi-layer substrate may increase production costs but provides added protection and functionality.
