Abstract: Compressible grounding pads with two conductor layers separated by a compressible foam layer comprise: (A) A first conductor layer, e.g., copper foil; (B) A first adhesive layer in direct contact with a part of the first conductor layer, the first conductor layer extending beyond the first adhesive layer; (C) A foam layer in direct contact with one facial side of the first adhesive layer; (D) A second adhesive layer in direct contact with the opposite facial side of foam layer; (E) A second conductor layer, e.g., copper foil, in direct contact with the second adhesive layer, the second conductor layer extending beyond the second adhesive layer such that the second conductor layer joins with the first conductor layer; (F) An electrically conductive third adhesive layer in direct contact with the facial surface opposite the facial surface that is in direct contact with the second conductor layer; and (G) An optional release liner in direct contact with the third adhesive layer.

Abstract: A method for applying a heat activated transfer adhesive includes preheating a first part for bonding to a second part using a heat activated transfer adhesive form removably adhered to a liner, picking up the heat activated transfer adhesive form using the first part by pressing the preheated first part against the heat activated transfer adhesive form to adhere the heat activated transfer adhesive form to the first part, removing the liner from the heat activated transfer adhesive form adhered to the first part, heating the heat activated transfer adhesive form adhered to the first part, and pressing the heated heat activated transfer adhesive form on the first part against a second part to bond the first part to the second part.

Abstract: An image display assembly comprising a top glass panel having peripheral edges is disclosed. The image display assembly further comprises an optical film engaged with the top glass panel and having peripheral edges. At least a first of the peripheral edges of the optical film can be disposed inwardly from an adjacent peripheral edge of the top glass panel. The image display further comprises an image display panel engaged with the optical film opposite the top glass panel and having peripheral edges. A peripheral edge of the image display panel adjacent the first peripheral edge of the optical film can be disposed outwardly from the first peripheral edge of the optical film to define an undercut between said optical film and said top glass panel and between said optical film and said image display panel. An apparatus and method for applying the optical film are also disclosed.
