  • Patent number: 10806052
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a heat dissipation module, a display device having the same, and an assembly method thereof. Place the heat dissipation structure in between the chip of the COF (chip-on-film) and the thermal-conductive supporting component, heat generated by the chip of the COF can be absorbed by the heat dissipation structure and then be transferred to the thermal-conductive supporting component through the heat dissipation structure. As a result, the temperature of the chip is decreased, and the chip is avoided from operating at high temperature to deteriorate its performance and to result in thermal deformation or any other negative effects on the nearby components.

  • Patent number: 10763588
    Abstract: A shield, when coupled to a tracker device that is worn by an individual, reduces interfering signals originating from the human body that can adversely impact the detection of signals transmitted by the tracker device. The shield can include multiple layers of components. Specifically, the shield includes a base component that is attached to an adhesive element on the first side of the base and covered by a removable backing. Furthermore, the base, through a second side of the base, is attached to a first non-conductive element, which is further coupled to a second non-conductive element. Each of the non-conductive elements attenuates interfering signals that originate from the human body and therefore, enables the detection of signals transmitted by the patient tracking system. For example, in view of the reduced interference signals, a RF signal transmitted by the patient tracking system can be detected at remote distances.
