A method for bonding a first wafer onto a second wafer by molecular adhesion where the wafers have an initial radial misalignment between them. The method includes bringing the two wafers into contact so as to initiate the propagation of a bonding wave between the two wafers while a predefined bonding curvature is imposed on at least one of the two wafers during the contacting step as a function of the initial radial misalignment.

An optical bonding machine is provided, including a transparent datum located within the optical bonding machine, wherein the transparent datum supports a first substrate, a robotic placement head configured to pick up a second substrate and place the second substrate into contact with the first substrate, on the transparent datum, a camera disposed proximate the transparent datum, the camera capturing a video of a flow of an optically clear adhesive between the first substrate and the second substrate, and a curing source disposed proximate the transparent datum, the curing source emitting UV rays that pass through the transparent datum and the first substrate to cure an optically clear adhesive between a bonded substrate comprising the first substrate, the optically clear adhesive, and the second substrate. An associated method is also provided.

A method of applying a marking onto a metrological scale. The method includes locating one or more markings on the scale substrate in a provisional state; checking whether the one or more markings located on the scale substrate are acceptable; and finalizing the one or markings which are acceptable so as to transform the one or more markings into a finalized state.

Provided is a display device. The display device comprises: a display module including a display panel, wherein the display panel includes a display area having a plurality of pixels and an alignment mark area surrounded by the display area, and a display driver driving at least one of the plurality of pixels in the alignment mark area to form an alignment mark; and a stereoscopic lens including a base disposed on the display module, a plurality of lenses disposed on the base at an angle offset from a side of the display module, and a marking portion formed on one or more of the plurality of lenses to overlap the alignment mark area.

A modeling system (control device) includes a control unit that controls a modeling means to form each of stacked modeling layers, based on modeling data representing a three-dimensional model object that is a modeling target by use of a plurality of modeling layers, a determination unit that measures and determines whether or not a measured value of a stacked height of the formed modeling layer is within a predetermined range set beforehand and including a stacked height of the modeling layer in the modeling data, and in a case where the formed modeling layer has a lacking part in which the stacked height is not within the predetermined range, a correction unit that performs correction modeling by forming a correction member in the lacking part such that the stacked height is within the predetermined range.

A sheet processing apparatus including a sheet feeder, a sheet processing device, a sheet ejection device, a purge unit, a multifeed sensor, a sheet sensor, and circuitry. The circuitry stops an operation of the sheet processing apparatus when the multifeed sensor has not detected multifeed of the sheet and the sheet sensor does not detect a trailing end of the sheet after a first set time from detection of a leading end of the sheet, stop the operation when the multifeed sensor has detected the multifeed and the sheet sensor does not detect the trailing end of the sheet after a second set time from the detection, and conveys the sheet toward the purge unit without stopping the operation when the multifeed sensor has detected the multifeed and the sheet sensor detects the trailing end of the sheet before the second set time elapses from the detection.

A system for maintaining alignment of a press plate is provided. The system comprises: a press including a press plate, the press configured for forming a laminate comprising a decorative layer and a substrate; a camera; and a processing device configured to: retrieve a laminate design file comprising a decorative design drawing layer and a texture design drawing layer, the laminate design file illustrating the decorative design drawing layer overlaid with the texture design drawing layer; following manufacture of the laminate with the press, capture an image of the laminate with the camera; compare a portion of the captured image of the laminate to a corresponding portion of the laminate design file to determine a registration quality; based on the determined registration quality, determine a misalignment of the decorative layer with the press plate; and in response to determining the misalignment, trigger an alert.

A solar panel includes a substrate. The substrate includes a front portion and a back portion that are bonded together. The front portion includes an electrical insulation layer and a front face sheet layer that is bonded to the electrical insulation layer. The back portion includes a honeycomb core layer and a back face sheet layer that is bonded to the honeycomb core layer. A channel is defined in the honeycomb core layer. The solar panel also includes a first wire that is positioned at least partially in the channel.
