Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a micro light emitting diode (Micro LED) transfer-printing device. A heating device and a movable cooling device are arranged on a rack, wherein a cooling surface of the cooling device is opposite to a heating surface of the heating device. A roller mechanism is arranged between the heating device and the cooling device, and a cyclically rotatable conveyor belt is configured on the roller mechanism. A temperature control glue is configured on an outer surface of the conveyor belt. Compared with the conventional solution, the proposed Micro LED transfer-printing device realizes cyclic absorption and transfer-printing of the Micro LED such that the transfer-printing efficiency may be enhanced.

Abstract: A multi-layer printed circuit board (PCB) includes a laminate between a PCB heating core and a PCB signal core. The PCB heating core includes an electrically conductive resistive heating element upon a first core substrate. During a lamination cure PCB fabrication stage, a platen contacts the PCB and a power supply is electrically connected to the resistive heating element. The laminate is cured with heat transferred by the platen and heat from the resistive heating element. The PCB heating core may be located within an inner layer of the multi-layer PCB to normalize a thermal gradient across the multi-layer PCB that may otherwise occur during the laminate cure fabrication stage. As a result of the normalized thermal gradient, the degree of laminate cure and material characteristics of the cured laminate material are more consistent throughout the multi-layer PCB thickness.

Abstract: A process of manufacturing a down product comprises at least one bonding pattern line for the compartment separation without forming sewing holes by printing and drying a heat-reactive adhesive on the inner surface of an inner fabric, an optional mesh material and/or an outer fabric in a predetermined pattern, laminating said inner fabric, optional mesh material and/or outer fabric, and then high-frequency heating them under pressing with a pressing pattern the same as the printing pattern to bond the inner fabric, optional mesh material and outer fabric. Accordingly, it is possible to manufacture a down product having a bonding pattern line composed of a bonding line with excellent adhesiveness and durability and an aesthetically excellent pattern line with good clearness and finishing quality as well as to achieve a mass production of down products by mechanization and automation.
Abstract: A method of transfer lamination involves applying a release coating to a first side of a film, applying an application layer to the first side of the film over the release coating, bonding the first side of the film to a substrate, applying a second coating to a second side of the film while the first side of the film is bonded to the substrate, and removing the film from the substrate leaving the application layer deposited on the substrate and the second coating on the second side of the film.
Abstract: Pillar delivery films for vacuum insulated glass units are disclosed. The delivery films include a support film or pocket tape, a sacrificial material on the support film, and a plurality of pillars.
