Abstract: A method of depositing an unpackaged semiconductor die (“die”) onto a substrate. The method includes writing a latent image on a photosensitive drum. The latent image represents an outline for the die to be placed onto the substrate. The photosensitive drum is configured to have an electro-static charge and the die is transferred from the developing unit to the photosensitive drum so as to deposit the die onto the substrate according to the outline.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a carrier-to-circuit transfer mechanism that is configured to obtain one or more unpackaged semiconductor devices on a carrier substratum and directly transfer the one or more unpackaged semiconductor devices from the carrier substratum to a circuit assembly. The apparatus further includes an in-situ packager that is configured to in-situ package the one or more transferred devices by interconnecting each semiconductor device of the one or more transferred devices to conductive links of the circuit assembly and applying a coating material to the one or more transferred devices.

Abstract: A method of transferring semiconductor devices to a product substrate includes positioning a surface of the product substrate to face a first surface of a semiconductor wafer having the semiconductor devices thereon, and actuating a transfer mechanism to cause the transfer mechanism to engage a second surface of the semiconductor wafer. The second surface of the semiconductor wafer is opposite the first surface of the semiconductor wafer. Actuating the transfer mechanism includes causing a pin to thrust against a position on the second surface of the semiconductor wafer corresponding to a position of a particular semiconductor device located on the first surface of the semiconductor wafer, and retracting the pin to a rest position. The method further includes detaching the particular semiconductor device from the second surface of the semiconductor wafer, and attaching a particular semiconductor device to the product substrate.

Abstract: Systems and methods for packaging information handling systems such as notebook computers. Information handling systems may be configured in a bulk shipping configuration to allow multiple information handling system units to be shipped in a bulk configuration, and then converted to a single pack shipping configuration to allow an individual information handling system to be shipped separately and alone, or vice-versa.

Abstract: A gesture based method for scrolling through a document. More specifically, the gesture based method for scrolling through a document includes an automatic scroll gesture so that a user does not need to perform multiple scroll gestures when scrolling through a document.

Abstract: A computer and a method according to which an assembly is provided for electrostatically moving air for cooling the interior of the computer. The assembly includes an ionization strip for selectively receiving high voltage, such that when the high voltage is applied to the ionization strip, charged air rushes toward a heat sink disposed in the computer, thereby creating an airflow through the heat sink.

Abstract: A docking apparatus for docking selected portable computers which provides coarse and medium alignment between the docking connector of the computer system and the docking connector of a docking station mounted on a docking tray by providing rails having oppositely facing upright flat faces on a docking tray and notches formed in the underside of the chassis, the notches having corresponding oppositely facing upright flat faces and opposing sloping sidewalls for urging the flat face of the rails toward the flat faces of the notches. The notches are preferably wider at the leading edge of the chassis, away from the connector than at the trailing edge, close to the chassis and the rails are preferably spaced further apart at the leading edge of the tray than they are close to the docking station.

Abstract: An alignment tray for facilitating the docking of a computer to a docking device in which a tray member is adapted to receive the computer and guide the computer into a docking engagement with the docking device. The tray member is pivotal between an extended position in which it receives the computer and a folded position for storage or travel. A second tray member is provided which can either be connected to, or formed integrally with, the first-mentioned tray member and may be pivotally connected to the first-mentioned tray member so that the latter member pivots relative to the additional tray member and the docking device to and from its folded position.

Abstract: A docking device includes a latch for secured engagement with a portable notebook computer. A computer release and eject arm is pivotably mounted in the docking device. The arm includes an elongated body having a handle on one end. A single manual movement of the handle causes the arm to move about a pivot mount on the arm. A first cam surface formed on the arm moves the latch to an unlatch position. A second cam surface maintains the latch in position as the arm continues to pivot. An eject finger extending from the arm, engages the notebook computer and urges the computer away from the docking device for separating engagement of the computer connector and the docking device connector.

Abstract: A computer monitor stand and method according to which a lower support member receives a docking device and a portable computer to enable the computer to be docked to the docking device. An upper support member includes a plate for receiving the monitor, and one or more feet extend between the plate and the docking device. The feet are detachably connected to the plate or the docking device to enable the feet to be changed to adjust the position of the plate and therefore the monitor. This enables a preferred monitor viewing angle to be maintained despite use with different-sized docking stations.

Abstract: A docking station structure is used to operatively connect a notebook computer to desktop computer peripheral devices. The docking station has an internal receiving chamber into which the portable computer may be manually inserted, an electrical connector positioned within the receiving chamber, a travel plate movably carried within the receiving chamber, a motorized drive system operative to drive the travel plate toward and away from the electrical connector, and a latch structure carried by the travel plate for movement therewith. With the travel plate in a wait position thereof, the portable computer is rearwardly inserted into the receiving chamber. In response to such insertion, the latch structure automatically locks the computer to the travel plate, and the drive system rearwardly moves the travel plate to mate the electrical connector with a corresponding connector on the computer, thereby operatively linking the computer to the peripheral devices.
