  • Patent number: 11964520
    Abstract: A packaging method for a tire pressure monitoring sensor includes a step of placing, a step of pouring, and a step of hardening. In the step of placing, a sensing transmission module is put into a cavity of a modeling unit, and a positioning portion in the cavity restricts the sensing transmission module from moving transversely and toward an inner bottom of the cavity. In the step of pouring, a rubber compound is poured into the cavity and fills the cavity. The sensing transmission module is coated by the rubber compound to form a case on the outer surface of the sensing transmission module. In the step of hardening, the case is hardened and integrally formed with the sensing transmission module to form a tire pressure monitoring sensor which is removed from the cavity.

  • Publication number: 20240087915
    Abstract: A bonding tool includes a gas supply line that may extend directly between valves associated with one or more gas supply tanks and a processing chamber such that gas supply line is uninterrupted without any intervening valves or other types of structures that might otherwise cause a pressure buildup in the gas supply line between the processing chamber and the valves associated with the one or more gas supply tanks. The pressure in the gas supply line may be maintained at or near the pressure in the processing chamber so that gas provided to the processing chamber through the gas supply line does not cause a pressure imbalance in the processing chamber, which might otherwise cause early or premature contact between semiconductor substrates that are to be bonded in the processing chamber.
