  • Publication number: 20240242998
    Abstract: A micro-device substrate structure includes a support substrate having a support-substrate surface, spatially separated indentations extending into the support substrate, and a micro-device comprising a micro-device body and micro-device posts. The micro-device posts extend from the micro-device body into the support substrate and each of the posts is disposed at least partly in a different indentation. A release layer can be disposed between the micro-device posts and the support substrate. When the release layer is etched, the micro-device can be completely disconnected from the source substrate, removed from the indentations and source substrate, and micro-transfer printed to a target substrate.

  • Patent number: 12039917
    Abstract: A display includes pixels distributed in a pixel array of rows and columns that are grouped in mutually exclusive pixel clusters on a display substrate in a display area. Cluster controllers are disposed on the display substrate and are each connected to the pixels in a pixel cluster to control the pixels to emit light. A display controller external to the display area is connected to each row of pixels in each pixel cluster with a row wire. Each row of pixels in each pixel cluster can be connected with a cluster row wire and the corresponding cluster row wires of each pixel cluster can be connected together. The cluster controllers can be disposed between pixels in the pixel cluster or between adjacent pixel clusters on the display substrate.

  • Patent number: 12022769
    Abstract: An autonomous lawn mower is described. The autonomous lawn mower comprises a chassis supporting a podium. In some examples, the podium comprises an upper portion and a lower portion, where the upper portion may support one or more sensors, antennas and/or cameras that may be used to provide environmental information regarding the surroundings of the autonomous lawn mower. The upper portion may be detached from the lower portion such that the upper portion is calibrated prior to the upper portion being coupled to the lower portion.

  • Publication number: 20240206381
    Abstract: A control device for an autonomous lawn mower is described which receives input signals from a first and/or second hand control and determines a control signal for controlling the autonomous lawn mower. The hand controls may provide for intuitive control of the mower by a user. The control signals may be used to operate the autonomous lawn mower to perform a task such that, when later detached or otherwise decoupled, the autonomous lawn mower may perform the same or similar tasks substantially autonomously based on data (e.g., sensor signals, control signals, etc.), generated during manual operation. In some examples, the control signals may be determined to aid a user in maintaining a straight mow, proximity to a desired pattern for mowing, and/or be otherwise altered based on the presence of a user.

  • Patent number: 12016131
    Abstract: A device source wafer includes a wafer substrate, devices formed on or in the wafer substrate at a location on the wafer substrate, and test structures disposed on the wafer substrate connected to some but not all of the devices. The devices include a first device disposed at a first location and a second device disposed at a second different location on the wafer substrate. The test structures include at least a first test structure connected to the first device and a second test structure connected to the second device. The first test structure is adapted to measuring a characteristic of the first device and the second test structure is adapted to measuring the characteristic of the second device. An estimated characteristic of unmeasured devices is derived from the first and second device locations and measured characteristics and the device is selected based on the estimated characteristic.

  • Patent number: 11897949
    Abstract: This disclosure provides compositions and methods for controlling pain. In particular the disclosure provides a method for controlling pain comprising co-administration of an NGF antagonist and a TNF? antagonist. The NGF antagonist and the TNF? antagonist can be separate molecules or part of a multifunctional polypeptide, e.g., a multispecific binding molecule that comprises an NGF antagonist domain and a TNF? antagonist domain. This disclosure also provides multifunctional polypeptides, e.g., multispecific binding molecules, comprising an NGF antagonist domain, and a TNF? antagonist domain. The method provides improved pain control. Administration of an NGF antagonist and a TNF? antagonist as provided herein can control pain in the subject more effectively than an equivalent amount of the NGF antagonist or the TNF? antagonist administered alone.
