  • Patent number: 11406032
    Abstract: A foldable flexible display device, with a design of disposing reinforcing structures on lower surfaces of a support plate, when a front surface of a flexible display device is subjected to an external impact, the reinforcing structures are able to support the sinking flexible display panel and the displacement of the flexible display device is reduced so that the back cover under the support plate is not in contact with the sinking flexible display panel. This can obviously improve the impact condition of the flexible display panel and the impact resistance of the flexible display panel, thereby preventing the flexible display panel failure caused by stress concentration.

  • Patent number: 11387637
    Abstract: A hybrid cable distribution system wherein a feeder cable is received by a box. The feeder cable can be a hybrid cable including optical fibers and copper wire (coax). The box may be used only for copper signal handling (such as coaxial signal handling), and then at a later date, the box may be used for receiving fiber signals. Customers can directly connect to the feeder fan out device by connecting a tail of a drop splice module that is spliced to an individual distribution cable to the feeder fan out device. This connection creates a point-to-point connection. The number of fan out devices in the system can be increased or decreased as needed. Alternatively, a splitter input can be connected to the feeder fan out device, such as through a pigtail extending from the splitter, wherein the splitter splits the signal as desired into a plurality of outputs. The outputs of the splitters can be in the form of connectors or adapters.
