  • Patent number: 12264582
    Abstract: An in-situ stress measurement device for ultra-deep non-vertical drilling adopts a technical route of single channel and bidirectional rolling of in-hole equipment, and its related functions are mainly realized by a bidirectional rolling device and a split-type axial-force-free circuit switching valve. The bidirectional rolling device can drive the in-hole equipment to move freely in a circumferential direction and back and forth, which changes sliding friction between the in-hole equipment and a hole wall into rolling friction during an in-situ stress measurement of non-vertical drilling. The split-type axial-force-free circuit switching valve provides a technical solution for a single-pipe test in the non-vertical drilling.

  • Publication number: 20240186458
    Abstract: Micro-LED structures include an LED epilayer that may be formed before the micro-LED structure is coupled to a backplane substrate. In order to prevent light leakage and maximize light output, the sidewalls and other surfaces of the LED epilayer may be coated with a reflective coating. For example, the reflective coating may include a metal layer that is electrically insulated between dielectric layers from the micro-LED electrodes. The reflective coating may also be formed using multiple layers in a distributed Bragg reflector configuration. This reflective coating may be formed during the LED fabrication process before the micro-LED structure is coupled to the backplane. The pixel isolation structures on the backplane may also include a reflective coating that is applied above the LED epilayers.
