Abstract: A matrix addressed display system designed so as to enable data line repair by electronic mechanisms which is efficient and low in cost and thus increases yield. Such active data line repair utilizes additional data driver outputs, a defect map memory in the TFT/LCD module and modification of the data stream to the data drivers by additional circuits between the display and the display adapter. A bus configuration on the display substrate is utilized which combines repair flexibility, low parasitic capacitance, and the ability to easily make the necessary interconnections. The number of interconnections is kept to a minimum, the connections are reliable, and the connections may be made with conventional wire bond or laser bond technology, or disk bond technology.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for transmitting data about an object within a defined field and using the transmitted data to generate a virtual object on the display screen of a computer. In one embodiment of the present invention the object used to transmit input data is a wireless glove assembly. The glove assembly supports a transmitting device which transmits data bursts, containing position and gesture information, in the radio frequency wavelength to four stationary receivers. The received signal is converted to a digital signal and input to a microprocessor control unit. The software used in the microprocessor control unit uses an averaging method to generate a virtual object on the computer display screen. The position of the virtual object is calculated based on the strength of the signal received. The movement of the virtual object on the computer display screen is in the same direction as and is proportional to the glove movement.

Abstract: In alignment of superpositioned objects on opposing substrates accuracy and simplicity is achieved through relative movement of the substrates responsive to an image of one object reflected from the surface of the opposite substrate. Alignment of mating fine pitch conductors and pads for bonding is achieved by observation of the reflection of one conductor or pad in the surface of the opposite substrate and relatively moving the substrates to eliminate the reflection.

Abstract: A filtration apparatus (10) for fluids containing solid matter and/or particles or the like is disclosed. The apparatus (10) comprises screen means (20) and barrier means (21) substantially adjacent and behind the screen means (20). The barrier means (21) has a plurality of corrugated ribs (23) with vent means (22) therein. The corrugated ribs (23) are elongate and parallel and are substantially concave corrugations when seen from the direction from where the fluid is coming while the corrugations are substantially aligned with the direction of the flow of the fluid.

Abstract: A principle of surface interlocking wherein the imperfections of two parallel surfaces deform and interlock under pressure. The surface interlocking enables the combination of a bridging element and a bonding tip of a diffusion bonding apparatus to pick up, transport, position at a unique location, and bond the bridging element in place to the conductors or pads. In the invention a single point bonding tip as part of a bonding apparatus is used to pick up the, to be, bridging metal object transport it to the bonding site and perform the entire bridging bonding operation all in one sequence of steps.

Abstract: Thin film diffusion bonding of lead assemblies under severly limited spacing, thermal and pressure conditions is achieved through application of precisely controlled energy at the bond interface. The precisely controlled energy is a laser thermosonic energy pulse, delivered through a cleaved optical fiber end and closed end tip, that produces a heat increment in excess of the steady state manufacturing design temperature for the assembly and which is applied directly at the bond interface.

Abstract: A high efficiency thermal interposer comprising a first hollow disk and second hollow disk, held together by thermally isolating fasteners. The fasteners keep the disks from touching one another. In an illustrative embodiment of the invention, the first disk is the low temperature disk portion and the second disk is the high temperature disk portion of the heat shield. Furthermore, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the space between the disks is filled with small thermally conductive particles (e.g., stainless steel spheres) which are in thermal contact with the high temperature disk; but which are not in contact with the low temperature disk. The thermal interposer/heat shield includes means for introducing cold jets of air into the cavity containing the particles, means for circulating the air therebetween, and means through which the air can exit from the cavity to carry away the heat picked up from the particles inside the cavity.

Abstract: A tool bar for placement of a band of fertilizer in soil has a vertical knife with a horizontal blade thereon to create an inverted T-shaped slot in the soil. A band of fertilizer is placed in the bottom of the slot through a tube on the knife. A first coulter fills the slot with soil and compacts the soil above the band. A second coulter forms a mound of soil over the compacted soil and creates an elongated furrow in the soil above and laterally removed from the band. The method of placement of a band of fertilizer in soil sequentially moves the soil and creates the band as accomplished by the foregoing structure.

Abstract: The present invention is a natural bait holding fishing lure, available in multiple sizes, to use with dead bait fish and/or dew worms. This minnow head shaped lure is preferably molded from resin plastic and includes a rod for the trailer model, or tube for the pull-through model, to impale the bait as it is inserted head first into the cavity of the lure. Also connected to the lure is a pivoting L shaped barbed locking pin device, and a metal foil which deflects water to simulate the swimming motion of a live minnow when trolled through the water with the bait attached, and thus promotes attraction of the target fish.

Abstract: The invention provides lightweight packaging of portable electronic apparatus by using the combined structural properties of an enclosure, that houses the interwired heat producing electronic signal devices of the apparatus, to provide coolant movement and direction, locally selectable physical protection and shock resistance and electrical shielding.

Abstract: Process for shaping conductors critically spaced on a carrier that are bonded to contact locations on a substrate surface. The conductors are cantilevered with each adjacent conductor bonded to a contact location that is a different distance from the carrier. Each conductor remains in the plane of the support of the carrier to the vicinity of its respective contact location where it is shaped to extend nearly vertically toward the substrate then horizontally across the contact location exerting pressure on the contact location.
