Abstract:
Three systems for the destruction of the data storage portion of electronic media storage devices such as hard disk drives, solid state drives and hybrid hard drives. One system utilizes a mill cutter with which the hard drive has relative motion in the direction of the axis of the mill cutter to destroy the data storage portion. A second system utilizes a laser to physically destroy the data storage portion. The third system utilizes a chemical solvent to chemically destroy the data storage portion.

Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method for orientation of liquid crystals in a micro/nano region on the basis of laser direct writing and a system thereof. According to the method, a laser direct writing system is employed to build a micro/nano structure; liquid crystal molecules in a micro/nano structural region perform self-orientation; the orientation of liquid crystals is generated by a fine structures on side walls of polymer strips which form the micro/nano structure; and the dimension of said micro/nano region varies from the micrometer magnitude to the nanometer magnitude exceeding the diffraction limit. The method and the system of the present invention are easy to operate, can realize self-orientation of the liquid crystals in the micro/nano regions without forming the orienting induction film on the substrate using mechanical or light induction means; the orientating direction can be adjusted and controlled in the micro/nano region, which is favorable for the miniaturization of the liquid crystal display devices and the orientation of the complicated three-dimensional liquid crystal structure. The method and the system can be widely popularized and used.
Abstract:
Embodiments are directed to laser-based processes for forming features on the surface of a part. The feature may include a geometric element, a color element, and/or a surface finish element. In some cases, the laser-formed features are formed as a pattern of textured features that produce an aesthetic and/or tactile effect on the surface of the part. In some cases, the texture features may be sufficiently small that they may not be discerned by the unaided human eye. Also, in some cases, a multiple laser-based processes are combined to form a single feature or a finished part having a specific aesthetic and/or tactile effect.

A welding process (S1), which uses a welding device (1) that welds a welding object using a pulse laser, wherein a first light-receiving unit (20) receives only infrared rays having a wavelength that allows detection of the keyhole formed in the molten pool from among the infrared rays emitted from the welded portion of the welding object during welding and an analysis unit (40) assesses the quality of the welded portion on the basis of the intensity of the infrared rays received by the first light-receiving unit (20).
Abstract:
The present invention provides to an Au-Sn-Bi alloy film which has an excellent bondability on a metalized layer formed on an LED element or a substrate as a bonding layer made of the Au-Sn-Bi alloy and is uniform and thin. In the present invention, an Au-Sn-Bi alloy thin film which has the thickness of 5 µm or less and includes at least a eutectic structure can be formed by using an Au-Sn-Bi alloy powder paste that mixes the Au-Sn alloy powder containing 20 wt% to 25 wt% of Sn, 0.1 wt% to 5.0 wt% of Bi, and a balance of Au, and having a particle diameter of 10 µm or less with an RA flux of 15 wt% to 30 wt%, screen printing the Au-Sn-Bi alloy powder paste in a predetermined region on the Au metallized layer, and subsequently, heating, melting and then solidifying the Au-Sn-Bi alloy powder.
