A method for producing a glass substrate according to the present invention includes the steps of: (I) forming a through hole (11) in a glass sheet (10); (II) forming a resin layer (20) on a first principal surface of the glass sheet (10) using a resin composition sensitive to light having a predetermined wavelength λ.sub.1; (III) photoexposing an area of the resin layer (20) that covers the through hole (11) by irradiating the area with light U having the wavelength λ.sub.1 and applied from the direction of a second principal surface of the glass sheet (10); and (IV) forming a through-resin hole (21) by removing the area photoexposed in the step (III). The glass sheet (10) protects the resin layer (20) from the light U so as to prevent the resin layer (20) from being photoexposed by beams of the light U that are incident on the second principal surface of the glass sheet (10) in the step (III).

To automate setting of coupling rods when using a rotor core retaining jig and thereby to improve the production efficiency of a magnet embedded core, a setting device includes: a support base (42) on which the rotor core retaining jig (10) is to be placed; an opposing base (46) joined to the support base 42 to oppose the support base (42); a pressurizing device (48) provided on the opposing base (46) and configured to pressurize an upper plate (14) of the rotor core retaining jig (10) on the support base (42) toward a lower plate (12); chuck devices (126) provided on the support base (42) to releasably grip the coupling rods (30) and capable of moving between a separated position where the coupling rods (30) are separated from engagement grooves (32, 34) and an engaged position where the coupling rods (30) engage the engagement grooves (32, 34); and a fluid pressure cylinder device (120) provided on the support base (42) to drive each chuck device (126) between the separated position and the engaged position.

A device for flaring an end section of a braided tubular structure of an electrical conductor defines a reception volume having a peripheral boundary for receiving the end section of the braided tubular structure. The device further includes one or more rotatable rollers of which each has at least one peripheral roller surface facing the peripheral boundary of the reception volume. The one or more rollers are adapted to move relative to the reception volume in a peripheral direction about the reception volume for flaring the end section.

This document describes techniques and apparatuses for connecting an electronic component to an interactive textile. Loose conductive threads of the interactive textile are collected and organized into a ribbon with a pitch that matches a corresponding pitch of connection points of the electronic component. Next, non-conductive material of the conductive threads of the ribbon are stripped to expose the conductive wires of the conductive threads. After stripping the non-conductive material from the conductive threads of the ribbon, the connection points of the electronic component are bonded to the conductive wires of the ribbon. The conductive threads proximate the ribbon are then sealed using a UV-curable or heat-curable epoxy, and the electronic component and the ribbon are encapsulated to the interactive textile with a water-resistant material, such as plastic or polymer.

A consumer electronic product includes at least a transparent housing and a flexible display assembly enclosed within the transparent housing. In the described embodiment, the flexible display assembly is configured to present visual content at any portion of the transparent housing.

A system for the manufacture of an end effector assembly which is configured for use with an electrosurgical instrument configured for performing an electrosurgical procedure is provided. The system includes a photolithography module that is configured to etch one or more pockets on a seal surface of the seal plate. A vacuum module is configured to raise, transfer and lower a spacer from a location remote from the pocket(s) on the seal plate to the pocket on the seal plate(s). An adhesive dispensing module is configured to dispense an adhesive into the pocket on the seal plate.

A method of forming a Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) includes forming a lower electrode on a first insulator layer within a cavity of the MEMS. The method further includes forming an upper electrode over another insulator material on top of the lower electrode which is at least partially in contact with the lower electrode. The forming of the lower electrode and the upper electrode includes adjusting a metal volume of the lower electrode and the upper electrode to modify beam bending.
