Abstract: Assemblies of structures such as electronic device assemblies may be connected using light-cured liquid adhesive such as ultraviolet-light-cured adhesive. Light sources such as ultraviolet-light light-emitting diodes may be mounted to a substrate such as a printed circuit board substrate. The substrate may be mounted to an assembly formed from a plurality of structures. The structures may be connected to each other to form an interior cavity within which the substrate and light-emitting diodes are contained. A connector may be included in the assembly. The connector may have input-output pins. Conductive paths may couple the input-output pins to the light-emitting diodes in the cavity. A tool may be used to apply signals to the light-emitting diodes to activate the light-emitting diodes. The light-emitting diodes produce light that cures the adhesive. The light-emitting diodes may be disabled by blowing a fuse after the adhesive has been cured.

Abstract: A structure such as a button may have a substrate. Components such as switches may be mounted on the substrate. The substrate may be a printed circuit board with solder pads. A snap member may be soldered to one of the solder pads. A metal clip may have a snap arm with an opening. The metal clip may be attached to the printed circuit board. When attached, the opening in the snap arm may mate with the snap member that is soldered to the solder pad on the printed circuit board. The printed circuit board may be attached to a button housing member. A button cover member may be attached to the clip. A ground connection may be formed between the metal clip and the snap member by providing the snap member with structures that bear against the metal clip and form an electrical connection.

Abstract: Whenever a computing device such as a smart phone automatically corrects and replaces a word entered by the device's user, the computing device can responsively provide some sensory output to the user to signal to the user that the replacement has occurred. Because the user can sense the output, the user can become alerted to the fact of the automatic replacement prior to transmitting, or otherwise making permanent, the text containing the replaced word. The user can then proofread the text prior to transmission in order to ensure that the replaced word is actually the correct word that the user meant to enter. The sensory output can involve a visual highlighting of the replaced word, an audible speaking of the word that replaced the replaced word, and/or a tactile vibration of the computing device, for example.

Abstract: A method and device for cleaning air. The air to be cleaned is directed as a continuous flow in succession through a) a first zone wherein the air is treated with ozone and possibly also water, ammonia or other aerosol growth promoters; b) a second zone wherein the air is subjected to ultraviolet light; c) a third zone wherein the air is maintained for a sufficient time to allow aerosol growth; d) a fourth zone where particles in the air are given an electrical charge; e) a fifth zone wherein the air is passed through an electrostatic filter; and f) a sixth zone wherein the air flows over a catalyst to break down residual ozone.

Abstract: Hot gas filtration fabrics for bag filters can be made using fibers that include high silica fibers and at least one FR fiber. The fabrics can be made using these fibers by needling and/or water jet entanglement. The fabrics may be treated with binders with or without additives to enhance mechanical properties or to impart other characteristics such as gas adsorption. Certain non-woven fabrics made according to the invention have improved high temperatures filtration capabilities and mechanical properties.

Abstract: A device for carrying and removably displaying small disk-like items has a substantially planar body with a front, a back, and a pair of arms made of a resilient material defining a C-shaped elastic opening, and an internal slot parallel to the front and back and accessible from the C-shaped elastic open end for receiving a disk-like item wherein a portion of the body partially covers the area adjacent a periphery of a disk-like item when fully inserted into said internal slot. In an alternative embodiment, the C-shaped disk retainer forms a golfer's ball marker retainer at the handle end of a divot repair tool.
