An intelligent current lead device, its design, fabrication, and methods of operation are described in this disclosure. The intelligent current lead device described in this disclosure electrically and thermally connects and disconnects one or more power sources or loads operating at one temperature reservoir with one or more machines or devices operating at either the same or a different temperature reservoir. The intelligent current lead can operate in either an active mode or passive mode. The intelligent current lead device may incorporate the use of multiple types of diagnostic sensors and instrumentation, which can be monitored, interpreted, and analyzed. The program logic of the intelligent current lead may be used to interpret the data obtained from the diagnostic sensors and instrumentation in order to adjust/actuate/switch the current lead so as to optimize its configuration to respond to requirements of an electrical load that changes with time. There are many applications that the intelligent current lead can be used in conjunction with including but not limited to: superconducting magnets, transformers, power cables, energy storage, motors, generators, fault current limiters, circuit breakers, fusion magnets, accelerator magnets, MRI magnets, NMR magnets, induction heaters, magnetic separators, among other applications.

The present application provides a conductive film, a manufacturing method of the conductive film, and a display device. The present application prevents refracted light by using a first metal layer to fully cover a second metal layer of a middle layer, thereby fundamentally solving black level stripes caused by lateral etching of the second metal layer.

An electrically conductive bonding tape includes a conductive first film between, and bonded to, conductive first and second adhesive layers. The first film and the first and second adhesive layers are conductive at least along a thickness direction of the bonding tape. Each of the first and second adhesive layers includes conductive particles dispersed substantially as a single layer in a substantially insulative adhesive material. The plurality of conductive particles in each of the first and second adhesive layers has an average particle size P.sub.av and a standard of deviation P.sub.sd, such that P.sub.sd/P.sub.av is less than about 0.2. Each of the first and second adhesive layers has an average thickness of no more than about 15% greater than the average particle size of the particles in the adhesive layer. An average surface roughness of opposing major first and second surfaces of the first film is less than 10 microns.
