A beaded composite panel is fabricated using composite plies. An opening is formed in each of plies, and each ply is laid up on a bead feature and drawn down over the bead feature in the area of the opening so as to widen the opening into a gap allowing the ply to conform to the contour of the bead feature. Patches are fabricated and placed on the plies overlying over the openings. The laid-up plies are compacted and cured.

A solar cell assembly and a method of bonding a solar cell component to a flexible support are disclosed. The solar cell assembly comprises a flexible support with a predetermined size, a solar cell component, bonding adhesive between the support and the solar cell component, wherein the support with the predetermined size has substantially uniform borders of 0.003 inches to 0.2 inches in width extending beyond the edges of the solar cell component.

Fiber reinforced composite structures having curved stepped surfaces are fabricated by laying up plies of fiber reinforced material over a tool having a stepped tool feature. The plies are rotated about a fixed axis as they are laid up to substantially form a fixed axis rosette pattern. The plies are angularly oriented such that at least certain of the plies have fiber orientations other than 0, +45, −45 and 90 degrees. Potential bridging of the fibers over the stepped tool features is reduced or eliminated by cutting slits in the plies in the area of the stepped features, so that the plies can be fully compacted.

Discussed is a display device and a method of manufacturing the display device. The display device according to one example includes a display panel including a first substrate and a second substrate facing and coupled to the first substrate, wherein the first substrate includes a display part in which a plurality of pixels are formed, a bending part formed at one side of the display part, and a pad part formed at an end of the bending part; a back film adhered to a portion, corresponding to the display part and the pad part, in a bottom of the first substrate; and a supporting member formed to guide the bending part and support the back film adhered to a portion corresponding to the display part.

A system for mapping and marking baroreceptors of a patient. The system includes a mapping device, a marker, and a stimulator. The mapping device includes a plurality of electrodes to be situated on the patient. The marker is to be attached to the patient and mark a location of at least one of the plurality of electrodes based on an analysis of patient physiological responses to stimulation of the plurality of electrodes. The stimulator is to divide the plurality of electrodes into a first electrode zone and a second electrode zone and stimulate electrodes in the first electrode zone and the second electrode zone to obtain first patient physiological responses, where one of the first electrode zone and the second electrode zone is selected based on the first patient physiological responses.

A bonding device for attaching a curved cover plate with an irregular shape to a flexible screen includes: a first attaching half having a first abutting wall, a second half, and a driving component. The first abutting wall includes a first curved wall and a first flat wall. The first curved wall matches with an inner surface of the arc hook area, and the first flat wall is smoothly connected to the first curved wall. The second attaching half has a second abutting wall. The second abutting wall includes a second curved wall and a second flat wall. The second curved wall matches with an inner surface of the arc hook area. The second flat wall is smoothly connected to the second curved wall. The driving component drives the first attaching half and the second attaching half to move relative to each other.

A bonding device and a bonding method for an irregular-shaped curved cover plate and a flexible screen are disclosed. The bonding device includes: a support body supporting the flexible screen; and a bonding body supporting the flexible screen together with the support body and pressing the flexible screen. The bonding body has a cylindrical shape. A cross-sectional shape of the bonding body along an axial direction matches with a cross-sectional shape of the irregular-shaped curved cover plate. The support body is located at a radial end of the bonding body. The bonding body can be expanded along the axial direction, to have opposite sides thereof abutted against the arc hook areas.

Composite structures and methods of forming composite structures may include at least one ply of material extending along a length of the composite structure. The at least one ply of material includes sections of material extending along the length of the composite structure.

Laminated structures include a thin glass sheet with a thickness of less than 600 μm being attached to a metal sheet with an adhesive layer including a thickness of about 100 μm or less. These laminated structures can include planar or curved shapes. Methods of manufacturing a laminated structure are also provided including the step of attaching a glass sheet with a thickness of less than 600 μm to a metal sheet with an adhesive layer including a thickness of about 300 μm or less.

A method for reinforcing, baffling or sealing a vehicle structure, comprising the steps of providing one or more materials having a horizontal axis, at least one terminating edge, and an initial length, forming openings in the one or more materials, and applying the one or more materials to a location requiring reinforcement, baffling, sealing or any combination thereof.
