Patent number: 10356913Abstract: The present disclosure related to a flexible electronic substrate assembly and a method and system of processing solder paste onto an electrical substrate. The assembly includes a flexible substrate having a solderable medium provided along the flexible substrate. A pattern of solder paste may be cured to a portion of the solderable medium. The solderable medium may be a generally continuous construction or a patterned construction relative to the flexible substrate. The substrate may be unwound from a roll of substrate material before solder paste is deposited thereon. The flexible electric substrate assembly may be formed though a roll to roll process. Infrared heat may be applied to the substrate with the solder paste deposit as the substrate is traveling along the process direction to reflow the solder paste as the substrate is traveling along the process direction at a high rate of speed.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2018Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: CCL Label, Inc.Inventors: Jamie Rieg, Randal Taylor, Willie Fowlkes, John Walsh, Paul Janousek

Patent number: 9108422Abstract: An apparatus useful in the assembly of printer cartridges includes a plurality of accumulator bags removeably secured to a carrier sheet. Each accumulator bag includes a first polymer film panel and a second polymer film panel welded together to form a pressurizable chamber with an aperture formed in the bag to provide access to the pressurizable chamber. An annular adhesive element is secured to each bag such that an aperture of the annular adhesive element is generally concentric with the aperture of the accumulator bag. The carrier sheet includes an upper adhesive stripe, a lower adhesive stripe, and a silicone stripe. The plurality of accumulator bags is removeably secured to the carrier sheet by adhering an upper portion of each bag to the upper adhesive stripe, adhering a lower portion of each bag to the lower adhesive stripe, and positioning the annular adhesive element in contact with the silicone stripe.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2012Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: CCL Label, Inc.Inventors: John Walsh, Dirk Lovelace, Vance P. Mattison, Paul Janousek

Publication number: 20150180094Abstract: A battery assembly includes a battery, an outer layer, and a power indicator apparatus. The battery includes a first terminal and a second terminal. The power indicator apparatus comprises an electrical conductor and a mechanical switch. The electrical conductor is configured to be in continuous electrical communication with the first terminal. The mechanical switch is configured to be actuated by an application of pressure at a single location, and upon actuation, to place the electrical conductor in electrical communication with the second terminal such that the power indicator apparatus can facilitate a reading of a potential energy stored in the battery. Methods of assembly and methods of determining a potential energy stored in the battery are also provided herein.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2013Publication date: June 25, 2015Inventors: Jamie Rieg, Anne Shim, John Walsh, Peikang Liu, Paul Janousek

Publication number: 20150111092Abstract: A multi-layer shrink film. The shrink film can exhibit a significant amount of shrink within a certain temperature range that is above the onset temperature of the film. The film can exhibit a shrinkage that is at least about 50% of the total shrink within a temperature range T1 above the onset temperature of the film. In one aspect, the shrink film comprises a core layer and skin layers disposed about opposite surfaces of the core layer, and tie layers disposed between the core and the skin layers, the skin layers individually comprising a polyester, e.g., a glycol-modified polyester, and the tie layers individually comprising an anhydride modified material.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2013Publication date: April 23, 2015Inventors: Paul Janousek, Vadim Zaikov, Farid Ghiam, Robert Quattlebaum, Walter Mueller
