A winder unit for winding cutting line, for vehicle glazing panel removal, has a rotatable spindle shaft for winding the cutting line and a ratchet device mounted to the spindle shaft by means of a one-way rotational bearing or clutch. Typically the ratchet device has a component mounted to rotate in unison with the one-way rotational bearing or clutch. The improvement provides a rotational directional control providing 2 one-way rotational control devices in concert.

The present invention relates to a method for surface coating a plane metal substrate, the method comprising the following steps: Providing a coiled plane metal substrate; unwinding the coiled plane metal substrate; applying a polyester based adhesive onto a top surface of the unwound plane metal substrate, and laminating a film comprising a base acrylic layer onto the polyester based adhesive, thereby forming a laminated assembly. The invention further relates to a pre-coated metal substrate obtainable by the method according to the invention, and to a product comprising a pre-coated metal substrate according to the invention.

A method of making an electrically-conductive film is provided. The method includes providing a release layer, optionally having a topologically structured surface, and depositing at least one electrically-conductive layer on the release layer whereby the at least one electrically-conductive layer has an outer surface that substantially replicates the topologically structured surface. The electrically-conductive layer can be peeled away from the release layer to obtain the electrically-conductive film. Such electrically-conductive films can be useful in lightning strike applications.

A system and method for separating a layer from a layer assembly when the layer assembly includes a backing layer and a material layer. The system includes an automated machine having a controller and an end effector. A separating tool is attached to the end effector of the automated machine. The separating tool includes a displacing member, with an outer face, configured to establish a void between the backing layer and the material layer by displacing a portion of the backing layer. The separating layer also includes a securing member configured to establish a mechanical connection with a displaced portion of the backing layer.

A method of making a metal foil heater comprising transferring a line image of a heater circuit to cutter and cutting the foil into a metal foil construction before affixing plastic sheets to both sides while attaching wires configured to supply current to the heater.

A method of debonding a first layer from a second layer, wherein the first layer is bonded to the second layer by an adhesive located between the first and second layers. The method includes inserting a blade of a cleaving tool between the first and second layers, and exerting a controlled force on the cleaving tool to move the cleaving tool so as to de-bond the first and second layers in a region. The force exerted is controlled to match a de-bonding force calculated for the region, and such that the movement of the cleaving tool stops when the calculated force is less than a force required to move the cleaving tool, and continues when the calculated force is higher than or equal to the force required to move the cleaving tool.

A method for manufacturing a display device includes providing a first display device assembly comprising a display module, a first window disposed on the display module, a first window adhesive layer disposed between the display module and the first window, and a first protective layer disposed on the first window. The first protective layer is removed. The first window is removed by providing an acid solution on the first display device assembly. A second window is provided that is disposed on the display module after the first window is removed. A second protective layer is provided that is disposed on the second window after the first protective layer is removed.

The invention relates to the use of mixtures of water and essential oils selected from the group consisting of phenols, phenylpropanoids and furanocoumarins, for separating multilayered composites for the segregated recycling of polymer/metal films.

The invention provides a method for delaminating a composite by immersing the composite into a delamination solution; wherein the composite comprises a metal substrate and a coating applied on one side or both sides of the metal substrate, wherein the coating comprises a polymeric binder; and wherein the polymeric binder comprises an aqueous copolymer. The use of delamination solution comprising a weak base allows for complete delamination of the composite in a highly efficient and extremely fast manner. Furthermore, the delamination method disclosed herein circumvents complex separation processes, contamination and corrosion of the metal substrate and enables an excellent materials recovery. An application of the method for delaminating an electrode for a battery is disclosed herein.

A flexible display motherboard and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The flexible display motherboard includes a carrier substrate and a flexible display panel unit formed thereon. The flexible display panel unit includes a flexible base formed on the carrier substrate, and a display region and a periphery region which are positioned on the flexible base. A display device is formed in the display region, and the periphery region surrounds the display region. The flexible display panel unit further includes a dissolvable layer positioned between the carrier substrate and the flexible base. The dissolvable layer is formed at least in an area corresponding to the display region. The dissolvable layer is dissolvable in a solvent.
