  • Publication number: 20250075758
    Abstract: A brake pad assembly comprises: a friction pad configured to be contactable with a brake rotor to apply a force to the brake rotor, the friction pad having a first recessed groove, and a back plate to which the friction pad is attached, the back plate having a second recessed groove. A footing moving the brake pad assembly has a projection passing through the second recessed groove of the back plate to limit rotational movement of the footing thereby arresting the rotational movement of a screw and a ball screw, and the first recessed groove of the friction pad is aligned with the projection of the footing and the second recessed groove of the back plate. The projection of the footing comprises a first projection part extending from the footing and a second projection part protruding from the first projection part in a direction different from a direction in which the first projection part of the projection of the footing extends.

  • Publication number: 20240272681
    Abstract: This is directed to connecting two or more elements using an intermediate element constructed from a material that changes between states. An electronic device can include one or more components constructed by connecting several elements. To provide a connection having a reduced or small size or cross-section and construct a component having high tolerances, a material can be provided in a first state in which it flows between the elements before changing to a second state in which it adheres to the elements and provides a structurally sound connection. For example, a plastic can be molded between the elements. As another example, a composite material can be brazed between the elements. In some cases, internal surfaces of the elements can include one or more features for enhancing a bond between the elements and the material providing the interface between the elements.
