  • Patent number: 11682658
    Abstract: A light-emitting package includes an encapsulating member, a plurality of light-emitting components disposed in the encapsulating member, a plurality of first electrode pads, a plurality of second electrode pads, and a plurality of conductive connection structures. The encapsulating member has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other. Each light-emitting component has a light-emitting surface exposed on the first surface. Both the first electrode pads and the second electrode pads are exposed on the second surface. A first bonding surface of each first electrode pad and a second bonding surface of each second electrode pad are both flush with the second surface. The light-emitting components disposed on the first electrode pads are electrically connected to the first electrode pads. The conductive connection structures passing through the encapsulating member are electrically connected to the light-emitting components and the second electrode pads.

  • Patent number: 10363646
    Abstract: A manufacturing fixture process, and associated device for practicing the disclosed process, includes supporting a component during manufacturing by at least one rest pad, and sensing and transmitting a force signal exerted on the rest pad by the component during manufacturing by at least one sensor associated with the at least one rest pad. The process further includes clamping the component onto the rest pad by a clamping component configured to rigidly hold the component, receiving and monitoring the force exerted on the rest pad by a force monitoring system configured to receive and monitor the signal indicating the force exerted on the rest pad, as well as determine whether the force exerted on the rest pad is within a predetermined range, exceeds the predetermined range, and/or is below the predetermined range, and outputting the force exerted on the rest pad with an output device.

  • Patent number: 10245630
    Abstract: A distortion correction tool corrects distortion in a workpiece held by a fixture. Sensors in the fixture determine the existence, extent, and location of distortions in the workpiece and a controller directs the application of the distortion correction tool to the workpiece based on the information received from the sensors. Particularly, a ram mounted to a quick-change tool head for a robotic arm is used as a distortion correction tool to correct distortions in a workpiece by inducing plastic deformation through use of compressive force, the extent and location of which is determined by a controller based on sensor measurements.

  • Publication number: 20160354854
    Abstract: Systems and methods for weld distortion reduction via a dynamically controlled heat source are disclosed. One system includes a welding apparatus comprising a sensor, a first heat source, and a second heat source. The system may further include a processor and a memory bearing instructions that, upon execution by the processor, cause the system at least to: receive data relating to a weld of a first part to a second part performed by the first heat source, the data comprising at least data from the sensor; generate, based at least on the data from the sensor, a simulation of the weld; determine, based at least on the simulation of the weld, a simulated distortion in at least one of the first part and the second part; determine, based at least on the determined simulated distortion, a heat source application intended to counter a distortion represented by the simulated distortion; and generate a directive to implement, by the second heat source, the heat source application.

  • Publication number: 20090065606
    Abstract: A remote-controlled electric sprinkler comprises: a control circuit, a motor, a sprinkler head, and a sensor. The control circuit controls the motor for rotating the sprinkler head and making the sprinkler head sprinkle water in a rotated pattern. The sensor senses and adjusts the rotation angle of the sprinkler head, so as to control the water sprinkling range and direction. In addition, the control circuit can also adjust the water sprinkling distance and amount of water of water sprinkled out of the sprinkler head to meet the environmental requirements.
