  • Patent number: 11866621
    Abstract: The invention is an apparatus that allows individual adhesive strips to be easily and efficiently accessed by a medical professional. Specifically, the apparatus is defined by a series of adhesive strips that are offset and overlayed. Each adhesives strip includes a folded edge that allows a medical professional to grasp an individual adhesive strip, remove it from the adjacent strip, and use it for a particular application. When an additional adhesive strip is needed, the medical professional can repeat the process with the next (e.g., top) adhesive strip until all of the strips have been used.

  • Patent number: 11745908
    Abstract: A labeling apparatus comprises a separation member configured to promote detachment of an adhesive label from liner web. Adhesive labels are fed to the separation member such that a surface of the facestock contacts the separation member. The separation member has a surface exhibiting a tack such that the tack force between the facestock and the separation member is greater than the release force between the release liner and the adhesive layer of the labels. The labels become associated with the separation member, and the label is applied to a surface of a substrate by contacting the exposed adhesive layer with a surface of a substrate, which causes the adhesive label to detach from the separation member.

  • Patent number: 11688718
    Abstract: A semiconductor device has a semiconductor die and a support tape disposed over a back surface of the semiconductor die opposite an active surface of the semiconductor die. A portion of the back surface of the semiconductor wafer is removed to reduce its thickness. The semiconductor die is part of a semiconductor wafer, and the wafer is singulated to provide the semiconductor die with the support tape disposed on the back surface of the semiconductor die. The support tape can be a polyimide tape. A dicing tape is disposed over the support tape. The semiconductor die is disposed over a substrate. A laser emission is projected onto the semiconductor die to bond the semiconductor die to the substrate. The support tape provides stress relief to avoid warpage of the semiconductor die during the laser emission. The support tape is removed from the back surface of the semiconductor die.
