  • Publication number: 20220102329
    Abstract: An icosahedral LED display screen belongs to the field of display screens and includes multiple cabinet main frames. Each cabinet main frame is formed with an accommodating cavity. A side of each cabinet main frame is provided with a flexible PCB, an outer side of the flexible PCB is disposed with LEDs, and an inner side of the flexible PCB is provided with a magnet fixedly therewith. The multiple e.g., twenty cabinet main frames are mutually connected to form an icosahedral sphere which has no end point similar to a football, and polygons that make up the sphere are the same, and therefore the cabinet main frames can be completely covered by the flexible PCBs to eliminate a missing of display at an endpoint and reduce design numbers and complexities of the cabinet main frames and the flexible PCBs. An installation of the LED display screen becomes more convenient.

  • Publication number: 20210222497
    Abstract: The disclosed drill tools have metal matrix composite (MMC) or steel alloy bodies that are formed around one or more pre-fabricated components using either a casting or infiltration process. The pre-fabricated components are made of sintered, infiltrated, and/or cemented particles of an ultrahard material, and may form any suitable portion of the bit blades. The pre-fabricated components may be loaded into a machined mold, and the mold cavity is subsequently filled with powder, such as tungsten carbide powder, filler metal powder, binder metal powder, or combinations thereof. During a casting or infiltration process, the mold and pre-fabricated components are heated to a sufficient temperature to melt the binder metal and/or filler metal, wherein the molten metal superficially interacts with the inner surfaces of the pre-fabricated components to form a metallurgical bond to secure the pre-fabricated components to the bit body.
