Mitsubishi Engineering-Plastics colors the portable electronics market
7/14/2011
Mitsubishi Engineering-Plastics, the global leader in high performance Laser Direct Structuring (LDS) materials, meets the rapidly-changing design and functional requirements of the portable electronics market with the first-time availability of full-color XANTAR® LDS grades, including newly-introduced full-color high practical impact strength, and chlorine- and bromine-free innovations.
The enhancement of Mitsubishi Engineering-Plastics' highly-successful XANTAR® PC and PC/ABS LDS portfolio to cover the complete color spectrum heralds a breakaway from the traditional blacks and grays of electronic parts. Combined with the range's versatility it creates virtually endless design opportunities for customers in the aesthetic- and function-driven application segments of mobile and smart phones, tablets, and ultra-thin notebooks.
At the same time, Mitsubishi Engineering-Plastics extends its full-color range with new developments focused on specific performance and environmental demands.
New XANTAR® LDS 3723 (PC/ABS) is specifically tailored to provide excellent practical impact strength, enabling non-black colored mobile phone housings or other hand-held telecom devices to pass the stringent industry drop or tumble tests.
New XANTAR® LDS 3733 (PC) supports flexible 3D-design possibilities for antennas with excellent signal performance; a key element in the successful development of cutting-edge designs and features.
The grade enhances the benefits of XANTAR® LDS 3723 (PC/ABS) with a second-to-none chlorine-free and bromine-free UL 94 performance of V-1 performance at 1.50 mm and V-0 at 3.0 mm.
"This innovative colored grade has proved a key discriminating factor in the realization of thin integrated GSM antennas in ultra-thin and light-weight notebooks and tablets, combining excellent impact strength with state-of-the-art flammability and first-rate plating performance," comments Aaron Lin, Business Development Manager XANTAR® LDS at Mitsubishi Engineering-Plastics.
Mitsubishi Engineering-Plastics works closely with customers to achieve a customized balance of properties. The successful application of XANTAR® LDS materials requires the optimal combination of laser and metallization behavior, radio frequency properties, mechanical properties, outstanding surface appearance and long term stability.
"The developments in XANTAR® LDS materials clearly demonstrate the added value Mitsubishi Engineering-Plastics can provide as a development partner, and successfully supported us throughout the transformation process from design to final product", says Mr. Sam Lin, Purchasing Director at WNC.
"The strong collaboration, both locally and globally, together with quick and agile material developments and dedicated support proved an important factor in our front-running innovative developments in these demanding high paced markets", adds Ellen McMillan, Vice President Antenna Business Unit at Molex.
Francis van Vehmendahl, Global Business Development Manager at Mitsubishi Engineering-Plastics, comments: "A short time to market is of key importance, supported by customized materials that meet the challenging requirements of these segments. We will continue to invest in novel pioneering product technology extending beyond the already versatile PC and PC/ABS portfolio, to build pro-actively on our existing state-of-the-art know-how and support level. This will enable us to further expand and strengthen our global leadership position in high performance LDS materials that are already outperforming alternative materials."
Laser Direct Structuring (LDS)
Diversification, styling, miniaturization and cost reduction are trends in portable electronics. LDS is becoming increasingly popular as the MID technology to enable an increased number of novel functions available inside appealing housings and covers, such as smart phones and notebooks. With LDS, tailored plastic materials are activated locally using a laser, and subsequently metalized exclusively in the activated areas, thus enabling a fast, highly flexible and 3D-design of for instance antennas in existing parts such as covers and frames.

The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner."

"Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
