  • Publication number: 20210015195
    Abstract: A helmet comprises a protective shell, an energy absorbing layer defining an inner surface of the helmet and a shear component. The shear component extends over one or more areas of the inner surface of the helmet and has an outer surface removably coupled to the inner surface of the helmet. The shear component has a distal inner surface configured to contact a wearer's head, or to support and retain a separate comfort pad configured to contact the wearer's head. In response to an oblique impact to the helmet, the shear component undergoes internal shear to allow displacement between the helmet and the wearer's head.

  • Patent number: 10360671
    Abstract: Systems and methods for tool health monitoring and matching through integrated real-time data collection, event prioritization, and automated determination of matched states through image analysis are disclosed. Data from the semiconductor production tools can be received in real-time. A control limit impact (CLI) of the parametric data and the defect attributes data can be determined and causation factors can be prioritized. Image analysis techniques can compare images and can be used to judge tool matching, such as by identifying one of the states at which the two or more of the semiconductor manufacturing tools match.

  • Patent number: 10325525
    Abstract: A combination wristband and label form has a front ply and a back ply. The front ply has a top portion having a plurality of labels die cut therein and a bottom portion with a generally rectangular wristband configured to receive indicia, and an outer portion surrounding the wristband. The wristband is separable from the form and is formed of a single ply of water-resistant material, and has a first lateral end and a second lateral end. The back ply is at least partially coated in a control bond adhesive and further includes at least one area of silicone. The control bond adhesive includes between about 1 kg and 2 kg of a flexible adhesive; between about 1 kg and 2 kg of water; between about 12 g and 16 g gypsum, and between about 13 g and 23 g fumed silica.

  • Patent number: 10297170
    Abstract: A combination wristband and label form has a front sheet with a top portion having labels; and a bottom portion having a wristband die cut therein. A portion of the wristband is configured to receive indicia. The form additionally includes a backing sheet comprising a release liner. The wristband has a central portion with a centerline therethrough, separating the central portion into an upper section and a lower section. A first arm portion extends from the upper section in a first direction and a second arm portion extends from the lower section in a second direction. The first and second arm portions have first and second lateral ends, respectively, and the lateral ends each have a respective adhesive area. Removal of the wristband from the form exposes an area of the release liner which is devoid of any voids. The wristband is formed of a single-ply of water-resistant material.

  • Publication number: 20180079370
    Abstract: A reconfigurable display system includes a camera, a thin-film-transistor layer, and a film layer. The camera is located behind a display and oriented to have a field-of-view of a viewable-side of the display. The thin-film-transistor layer of the display defines a window whereby the camera views the field-of-view through the thin-film-transistor layer. The film layer of the display defines an aperture though the film layer, wherein the film layer is positioned so that the aperture is aligned with the window. As a result, the camera views the field-of-view through the aperture and the thin-film-transistor layer.

  • Publication number: 20170061800
    Abstract: A one-button-security system suitable for use on an automated vehicle includes a single-action input-device, a vehicle-device, a facility-device, and a controller. The single-action input-device is operable by an operator to indicate that a vehicle is being parked. The vehicle-device is installed on the vehicle. The vehicle-device is operable to a driving-state useful when the vehicle is driven, and operable to a parked-state useful when the vehicle is parked. The facility-device is installed at a facility where the vehicle can be parked. The facility-device is operable to an away-state useful when the vehicle is not parked at the facility, and operable to a home-state useful when the vehicle is parked at the facility. The controller is in communication with the input-device, the vehicle-device, and the facility-device. The controller is configured to, in response to operation of the input-device, operate the vehicle-device to the parked-state and the facility-device to the home-state.
