Abstract: Techniques for performing diagnostics on an electronic display are described in various implementations. In one example implementation, a method may include receiving image data that depicts a test protocol being displayed on an electronic display, the test protocol comprising a two-dimensional barcode. The method may also include processing the image data to determine whether a message encoded in the two-dimensional barcode is corrupted. The method may also include generating a diagnostic result for the electronic display based on the determination.

Abstract: A slitting apparatus for an amorphous metal strip employs a scribing tool to form a scribed line in a surface of the strip as it is transported past the scribing tool. The scribed strip is folded toward the scribed line and creased between mandrels. Then the crease is flattened out against a flattening surface, whereupon the strip cleanly separates into first and second strips. A separating device downstream of the flattening surface moves the newly separated edges apart. A functional relationship between at least some of the radius of the cutting edge of the scribing tool, the scribing force, the tension in the strip and the separating device is described and empirical methods for maintaining these elements with effective operating ranges are given.

Abstract: A strip of amorphous metal is separated into first and second strips by scribing a line in a surface of the strip, thus defining first and second parts of said strip located on opposite sides of said scribed line folding and moving said parts of the strip together along the scribed line in the direction which encloses the scribed line close enough to form a crease and then at least partly flattening the strip. The strip separates into the first and second strips as the flattening operation proceeds along the strip. The facing cut edges of the first and second strips are moved apart once they are separated. To extend the life of the scribing tool, the flattening step may be extended to include reversing the crease.
