  • Publication number: 20240170362
    Abstract: Aspects of diamond growth on semiconductors are described. Some aspects include deposition of a layer of diamond seeds on a semiconductor-containing layered structure. Some aspects include the deposition of an intermediate layer over the layer of diamond seeds. In some aspects, the intermediate layer is an immobilizing layer to immobilize the diamond seeds. Some aspects include generating synthetic diamond over a surface of a semiconductor-containing layered structure. In some aspects, synthetic diamond is generated over a surface comprising diamond seeds and an intermediate layer. In some aspects, semiconductor-containing layered structure is etched with diamond seeds in place over a surface of the semiconductor-containing layered structure.

  • Patent number: 11370364
    Abstract: A vehicle display screen mounting assembly includes an instrument panel and a display screen coupled to a casing. The casing includes a protrusion extending from a back surface of the casing towards the instrument panel. A bushing is positioned within a receiving channel defined by the protrusion. An attachment feature is coupled to the protrusion of the casing and is coupled to the instrumental panel via a bracket.

  • Publication number: 20210107332
    Abstract: An air duct includes an inlet and an outlet that are interconnected with one another by a curved intermediate portion. A plurality of chambers are disposed within the curved intermediate portion. Each chamber of the plurality of chambers includes a first end opening into the inlet and a second end opening into the outlet. An enclosed body portion interconnects the first and second ends of each chamber. The curved intermediate portion further includes a first cross-sectional configuration disposed at a first portion of the curved intermediate portion, and a second cross-sectional configuration that is different from the first cross-sectional configuration disposed at a second portion of the curved intermediate portion. The second portion of the curved intermediate is disposed downstream from the first portion of the curved intermediate portion. The air duct directs airflow in a demisting sequence and is further contemplated to be formed using an additive manufacturing process.
