Abstract: Implementations described herein generally relate to flexible display devices and cover lens assemblies with flexible cover lens. In one or more embodiments, a cover lens assembly is provided and includes a first flexible cover lens, a second flexible cover lens, and a sacrificial adhesion disposed between the first flexible cover lens and the second flexible cover lens. The first flexible cover lens includes a first hard coat layer having a hardness in a range from about 4H to about 9H and a first substrate. The second flexible cover lens includes a second hard coat layer having a hardness in a range from about 2H to about 9H. The first substrate is disposed between the first hard coat layer and the sacrificial adhesion layer.

Abstract: Exemplary pixel structures may include a pixel structure of a display device panel stack. The structures may include a first panel. The first panel may include a plurality of ultraviolet light sources disposed on a backplane. The structures may also include a second panel. The second panel may be coupled with the first panel. The second panel may have an inner surface facing the ultraviolet light sources. The second panel may include a transparent substrate and a down-conversion layer. The down-conversion layer may be disposed overlying the transparent substrate. The down-conversion layer may be configured to down-convert ultraviolet light into visible light. The plurality of ultraviolet light sources and the inner surface of the second panel may be separated by a distance of at least 2 ?m.

Abstract: A rotor hub is presented that uses a low profile and frontal area design that reduces drag and combines the advantages of utilizing a virtual flapping hinge and a soft in-plane rotor hub.

Abstract: According to embodiments described herein, a guiding device for contactless guiding of a web in a web coating process under vacuum conditions is provided. The guiding device includes a curved surface for facing the web and a group of gas outlets disposed in the curved surface and adapted for giving off a gas flow to form a hover cushion between the curved surface and the web. The guiding device further includes a gas distribution system for selectively providing the gas flow to a first subgroup of the gas outlets and for preventing the gas from flowing to a second subgroup of the gas outlets.

Abstract: A release mechanism employing an actuating element of a shape memory alloy material. When the actuating element is heated through its phase-change transition temperature it applies a force which moves a latch to a position which activates the higher energy stored in a drive spring for moving a retaining element out of engagement with a structure. A detent when in a captured position releasably holds the retaining element in its locked position, and the detent is moved from a captured position to a retracted position to release the retaining element when the latch is moved by the actuating element.

Abstract: A method of producing an integral piece of thermo-sensitive material, which is responsive to a shift in temperature from below to above a phase transformation temperature range to alter the material's condition to a shape-memory condition and move from one position to another. The method is characterized by depositing a thin film of shape-memory material, such as Nickel titanium (Ni-Ti) onto a substrate by vacuum deposition process such that the alloy exhibits an amorphous non-crystalline structure.
