  • Publication number: 20240116133
    Abstract: Systems and methods determine alignment between a wire and a laser beam in laser joining. A system for checking alignment of a wire relative to a beam of a laser includes a controller configured to align, by tooling, the beam with a sensor system. A laser generates the beam across the wire, with the beam directed to the sensor system. The sensor system measures light intensity of the beam. A processor computes a feature parameter representative of an alignment between the wire and the beam. The processor determines whether the feature parameter is within the process specifications.

  • Publication number: 20240036431
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrophoretic light shutter display, more specifically, to a multi-stable transmissive electrophoretic light shutter display employing symmetric electrode patterning. The basic unit consists of four pixels with four identical square transparent electrodes connected with quadruple thin film transistors on the first substrate, an overlapped circular electrode on the second substrate, and a cell of electrophoretic particle dispersion fluid sandwiched between the first and second substrates. When an electric pulse is applied to any one of the pixels with a predetermined polarity, the colored charged particles will be able to move fan-in or fan-out radially with a linear grayscale. Therefore, the total transmission of the incident light through the shutter can be electronically modulated and maintained for good in zero-field conditions.

  • Publication number: 20230408880
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a TFT liquid crystal display, more specifically, to a cholesteric liquid crystal display employing both field-induced nematic vertical alignment texture and field-induced eddy alignment texture as video astable states and cholesteric planer texture and focal conic texture as power-free bistable states. Thus, the display provides not only video speed motion pictures with unlimited grayscale but also excellent static images.
