Patent number: 10998286Abstract: A laser is used to induce bonding of LED contact pads with corresponding substrate contact pads on a display substrate. The wavelength of the laser light and the material used for the contact pads are both selected so that the laser light is capable of melting the contact pads. For example, the laser light has a wavelength of between 220 nm and 1200 nm, and the contact pads are formed of a copper-tin oxide (CuSn). Furthermore, the system may be configured to shine the laser light through a number of other components, such as the pick-up head and the LED itself.

A method for manufacturing such panels may involve providing the paper layer with at least a portion of the printed pattern by depositing pigment containing inks using a digital inkjet printer of a single pass type. The printed pattern may have a definition of at least 200 dpi. The pigment containing inks may be water-based. The digital inkjet printer may include print heads with nozzles for firing droplets of pigment containing inks onto the paper layer. The droplets may have a volume smaller than 50 picoliters. The dry weight of the deposited pigment containing ink may be less than 10 grams per square meter. The printed pattern may cover 80 percent or more the paper layer. The paper layer may have a mean air resistance according to the Gurley method of below 30 seconds, and having a weight between 60 and 90 grams per square meter.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2019Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: UNILIN, BVBAInventors: Benjamin Clement, Luc De Boe

Patent number: 10729396Abstract: Systems and methods for reviewing medical images. One system includes an electronic processor configured to create a data structure for tracking anatomical findings. The electronic processor is further configured to receive a first annotation marking a first anatomical finding within a first electronic medical image, wherein the first electronic medical image was captured during a first imaging procedure of an anatomical structure, and add data to the data structure representing a first parameter of the first anatomical finding. The electronic processor is also configured to receive a second annotation marking a second anatomical finding within a second electronic medical image, wherein the second electronic medical image was captured during a second imaging procedure of the anatomical structure, and add data to the data structure representing a second parameter of the second anatomical finding. The electronic processor is also configured to display at least a portion of the data structure.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2016Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventor: Murray A.
