Method and control device for laminating display panel as well as vacuum laminator
This application discloses a method for laminating display panel, a control device for laminating display panel, and a vacuum laminator; the method comprising: conducting a vacuumization at the time of a 1st rough alignment for a 1st substrate and a 2nd substrate put into an enclosed cavity; stopping vacuumization at the time of a 2nd rough alignment for the two.
Patterned conductive microstructures within a heat shrinkable substrate
A conductive interconnect structure comprises a polymeric substrate (e.g., a thermoplastic) and a plurality of compliant conductive microstructures (e.g., conductive carbon nanofibers) embedded in the polymeric substrate. The microstructures can be arranged linearly or in a grid pattern. In response to heating, the polymeric substrate transitions from an unshrunk state to a shrunken state to move the microstructures closer together, thereby increasing an interconnect density of the compliant conductive microstructures. Thus, the gap or pitch between adjacent microstructures is reduced in response to heat-induced shrinkage of the polymeric substrate to generate finely-pitched microstructures that are densely pitched, thereby increasing the current-carrying capacity of the microstructures. The polymeric material can be heated to conform or form-fit to planar and non-planar surfaces/geometries, and can be selectively heated at various portions to tailor or customize the interconnect density of the microstructures at selected portions. Associated electrical conducting assemblies and methods are provided.

The portable electronic device further includes a display stack attached to the bottom surface of the front cover, an opaque coating positioned on at least a portion of each of the peripheral side surface, the chamfered edge, and the bottom surface and configured to absorb light emitted by the display stack, and a rear cover coupled to the housing member and defining a second portion of the exterior rear surface of the portable electronic device.
Electronics assemblies for downhole use
Methods, systems, devices, and products for constructing a downhole tool electronics module. Methods may include creating a circuit board by metallizing at least part of a first surface on a first side of a substrate to define at least one metallized area on the first surface, wherein the substrate comprises a ceramic material and includes: the first side, including at least (i) the first surface, and (ii) an elevated surface elevated from the first surface, and a second side opposite the first side; flattening at least partially the elevated surface to a predefined first flatness to create a mounting portion by removing material from the elevated surface; attaching an electronics component to the first surface; and mounting the circuit board on an electronics carrier by adhering at least part of the mounting portion to a mounting surface on the electronics carrier. Flattening at least partially the elevated surface to the predefined first flatness may be carried out by removing the material by areal grinding.
Tactile perception apparatus for robotic systems
A human-like tactile perception apparatus for providing enhanced tactile information (feedback data) from an end-effector/gripper to the control circuit of an arm-type robotic system. The apparatus's base structure is attached to the gripper's finger and includes a flat/planar support plate that presses a pressure sensor array against a target object during operable interactions. The pressure sensor array generates pressure sensor data that indicates portions of the array contacted by surface features of the target object. A sensor data processing circuit generates tactile information in response to the pressure sensor data, and then transmits the tactile information to the robotic system's control circuit. An optional mezzanine connector extends through an opening in the support plate to pass pressure sensor data to the processing circuit. An encapsulating layer covers the pressure sensor array and transmits pressure waves generated by slipping objects to enhance the tactile information.

Modular Deformable Platform
A modular deformable electronics platform is attachable to a deformable surface, such as skin. The platform is tolerant to surface deformation and motion, can flex in and out of a plane of the platform without hindering operability of electrical components included on the platform, and is formed via arrangement of discrete flexible tiles, with corners of adjacent tiles connected by a flexible connection material so that individual tiles can translate and rotate relative to each other. Interconnects disposed on bases of separate tiles electrically connect adjacent tiles via their connected corners, and electrically connect components disposed on different tiles. Each pair of adjacent corner connections defines an axis about which at least a portion of the platform can flex without deformation and without hindering connections between tiles. The flexible material and/or bases of the tiles can include Parylene.
