Abstract: Method of making a touch sensor including one or more multilayer electrodes and an underlayer disposed on a substrate. The underlayer is disposed between the multilayer electrodes and the substrate. The multilayer electrodes including at least two transparent or semitransparent conductive layers separated by a transparent or semitransparent intervening layer. The intervening layer includes electrically conductive pathways between the first and second conductive layers to help reduce interfacial reflections occurring between particular layers in devices incorporating the conducting film or electrode.

Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to films capable of use in a flexible photovoltaic solar module, rolls of films capable of use in a flexible photovoltaic solar module, processes of making the films and rolls of films, to flexible photovoltaic solar modules including such films, and to methods of making flexible solar modules. One exemplary process involves providing at least two discrete segments of a multilayer barrier film and placing a segment of protective layer adjacent to two of the adjacent discrete segments of multilayer barrier film such that the first and second terminal edges of the segment of protective layer span the gap between the discrete segments of barrier film to form a continuous film.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to multilayer display connections, display devices using the display connections, and tiled displays, in particular tiled reflective cholesteric liquid crystal displays. The displays include substrates that have integral tabs for bringing the electrical connections from one major surface of the display to the opposite major surface of the display. The inactive region of a tiled display is thereby minimized by making the electrical connections to display drivers on the major surface opposite the viewing area.

Abstract: A connector locator device for mounting a connector in a connector cut-out formed in a circuit card. An elongated connector includes solder tails extending from an edge thereof. The connector has opposite connector ends. An elongated connector support member has opposite terminal ends. Each terminal end includes a clamp engaging a respective connector end and also includes a support surface for engaging a card surface and locating the solder tails on solder pads positioned on the card surface.

Abstract: An electrical connector is provided for use with a circuit card which has a generally planar substrate having multiple conductive elements disposed along at least one edge thereof. Each of the conductive elements is coupled to an electrically conductive trace on the surface of the planar substrate, and at least one conductive cover panel is provided which may be mounted to the planar substrate. An electrical coupling which includes multiple electrical contacts for external connection to the circuit card is provided, and each of the multiple electrical contacts is then coupled to an associated electrical terminal, such as a solder tail, which may then be mated to one of the multiple conductive elements on the planar substrate. A grounding clip is then mounted on at least one of the associated electrical terminals.

Abstract: An edge mount connector includes a connector body having solder tails extending from a back side, and receptacles formed in a front side, opposite the back side. The solder tails have terminal ends aligned along a solder plane extending through the front and back sides and intersecting the body between a top and a bottom surface. Recesses are integrally formed to extend into the front and bottom sides of the body. The recesses include a rest surface extending along the solder plane. The connector body is suspended within a cut-out formed in a circuit board panel. The body is maintained substantially level with the solder tails engaging solder pads formed on one portion of the panel whereas another portion of the circuit board panel adjacent the cut-out, is simultaneously in engagement with the rest surfaces of the recesses.
