A structured packaging film is made by first of feeding a flat, unembossed first film web in a gravure printing device to a cylindrical print roller having an engraving on its surface with an array of cavities having a depth of at least 50 m. Printing laquer is applied to the print roller to fill the cavities. Then the roller is rolled on the first film web to transfer the laquer to the web to form thereon a printed image in gravure printing. The laquer is dried on the web to have a thickness of at least 30 m and the printed areas form clearly perceptible structuring.

A frangible laminate includes first, second and third webs, and the second web is positioned between the first and third webs. The forming of the frangible laminate includes adhesively bonding a first plurality of sections of the second web to the first web, applying release material in order to inhibit at least some of any bonding between the first plurality of sections of the second web and the third web, and adhesively bonding a second plurality of sections of the second web to the third web. The frangible laminate is separated into a first laminate and a second laminate, so that the first laminate includes the first web and the first plurality of sections of the second web, and the second laminate includes the third web and the second plurality of sections of the second web.

The present invention aims to provide a filling-bonding material that is suitably used to fill a space between parts, while bonding the parts, in optical devices in various shapes not limited to flat shapes. The present invention also aims to provide a protective sheet-equipped filling-bonding material, a laminate, an optical device, and a protective panel for an optical device each including the filling-bonding material. Provided is a filling-bonding material having a shape with an uneven thickness.

Methods and apparatus for applying internal features or complex mechanical structures to a surface of a metal part are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for creating an assembly that includes a substrate and a molded piece involves obtaining the substrate, and forming at least one binding feature on a surface of the substrate. The method also includes molding on a surface of the binding feature and the surface of the substrate. Molding on the surface of the binding feature and the surface of the substrate mechanically binds the molded piece to the substrate.

An interconnection component includes a first support portion, a second support portion, a redistribution layer and a passive device, wherein at least one of the first and second support portions is comprised of a semiconductor material. The first support portion includes first and second opposed major surfaces and a plurality of first conductive vias extending through the first support portion substantially perpendicular to major surfaces. The second support portion includes first and second opposed major surfaces and a plurality of second conductive vias extending through the second support portion substantially perpendicular to the first and second major surfaces of the second support. The redistribution layer can be disposed between the second surfaces of the first and second support portions. The passive device can be positioned at least partially within the redistribution layer and electrically connected with one or more of the first conductive vias and the second conductive vias.
