Abstract: A system for drawing a solution is provided. The system includes a filter, a vacuum source, and an actuator. The filter has an input port, a first output port, a second output port, and a flow path defined in part by the input port and the second output port. The vacuum source is in fluid communication with the first output port and operative to apply a vacuum to the flow path. The actuator is operative to facilitate movement of the solution along the flow path.

Abstract: Alignment markers are added to each layer of a multiple layer substrate for proper alignment. Optical alignment markers are applied on the surface of each substrate layer. Groups of alignment markers are arranged in localized areas on each substrate layer. Each localized group of alignment markers are referred to as alignment target areas. The alignment markers in a first alignment target area on the first substrate layer are to be aligned with corresponding alignment markers in a second alignment target area on the second substrate layer. In some embodiments, the first alignment target area includes an alignment marker configured for manual alignment and another alignment marker configured for machine alignment. The second alignment target area has a corresponding manual alignment marker and machine alignment marker.

Abstract: A touch screen sensor assembly and associated method for manufacturing the touch screen sensor assembly are provided. The touch screen assembly includes one or more transparent substrates that are arranged above a display. Each of the transparent substrates may include a conductive layer that is disposed adjacent to a surface of a corresponding one of the substrates. In addition, a set of conductive traces may be disposed on each of the transparent substrates and in conductive communication with the corresponding conductive layer. At least one of the sets of conductive traces may be deposited using electro deposition or vacuum deposition techniques so as to reduce a width of each trace, thereby reducing the size of a non-transparent border that surrounds the transparent substrates, maximizing the available portion of the transparent substrates for use in touch sensing.
