  • Publication number: 20110220384
    Abstract: A structure of a panel which can be thinned down to about a panel thickness of a PDP and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. A gas filling hole is provided to a surface of a rear glass substrate of a PDP, the surface coming in contact with a front glass substrate of the PDP. Vacuuming and filling of a discharge gas are performed through the gas filling hole. After filling of the discharge gas, a mechanism for lifting solder iron up and down and supplying solder provided inside a chamber inserts a tip of an ultrasonic soldering iron into the gas filling hole to start supplying a solder which is a material for a plug sealant. When a series of forming steps of the plug sealant are finished, the ultrasonic soldering iron is retreated before the solder is solidified to finish formation of the plug sealant.

Laser directing means (55) are used to selectively direct a laser beam (53) onto an area of a surface to selectively heat the area of the surface in thermal contact with a curable adhesive to cause the curable adhesive to bond to the surface. The laser may be directed to the curable adhesive using a mask (57), optical manipulation of the beam (53) or a combination of these techniques. The system and method reduce the stressing of the substrate by targeting the heat onto the areas, which require heat to cure the adhesive.

  • Patent number: 7757384
    Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for protecting a device from water damage. The apparatus is capable of being repeatedly opened and then hermetically sealed even when the device has a wire that must be extended outside of the apparatus. The present invention comprises a housing having at least two members that, when juxtaposed and clamped, form a dry interior region. More specifically, each member includes a pair of gaskets that together define the dry interior region and substantially form a hermetic seal about a pouch or container. The apparatus includes a portal through which the wire may extend from a device inside the pouch or container to the outside and a slide mechanism that adjust a gasket around the wire to maintain the dry interior region. The slide mechanism forms a hermetic seal around the wire so that the opening in the pouch from which the wire extends is hermetically sealed. If no wire is present, the slide mechanism may be adjusted to maintain the hermetic seal.

  • Patent number: 7755907
    Abstract: An upper lid and a bottom lid are fastened to flange portions formed in outer side surfaces of a casing main body. A metal collar to which a screw serving as pressing means (a fastening member) is inserted is embedded in each flange portion. Both end portions of each of the metal collars protrude at a predetermined length toward the upper lid and the bottom lid from the flange portion. A predetermined interval corresponding to the length of the protruding portion of the metal collar is created between the casing main body and the upper lid and between the casing main body and the bottom lid, by bringing the upper lid and the bottom lid into contact with the protruding portions of each of the metal collars at a time of assembling.
