摘要:
A stylus including a pressure sensitive membrane deployed as a pressure sensor therein. The pressure sensitive membrane is deformed upon the application of pressure to the stylus tip. The deformation changes an electrical property of the pressure sensitive membrane, said property being measured and used as an analog for pressure applied by a user to a surface via the stylus.

Electrical component assembly (30) comprising a first electrical component (32) comprising an electrical connection protrusion (34) (e.g., a solder bump) made of a first metal solder composition having a first melting point, and a second electrical component (36) comprising an electrical contact (38). A second metal solder composition (40) having a second melting point is formed or otherwise disposed so as to function as an electrical connection between at least a portion of the electrical connection protrusion (34) and the electrical contact (38) of the second electrical component (36). The second melting point is lower than the first melting point, and there is a distinct interface of demarcation between the electrical connection protrusion (34) and the second metal solder composition (40).

A microneedle application device for moving a microneedle array toward a target skin location includes a feedback sensor. The feedback sensor is operably connected to the microneedle application device, and is capable of generating an output corresponding to forces between the target skin location and the microneedle application device.
摘要:
An apparatus for binding a plurality of sheets of paper together is disclosed. A pair of clamping plates presents one edge of the sheets for binding after a jogging plate aligns the edges. After a solid hot melt adhesive material sheet is placed along the edge of the sheets, a heating platen heats and melts the hot melt adhesive material sheet and causes the liquid adhesive to bind the sheets together. The method of binding the stack of a plurality of sheets of paper includes positioning a plurality of sheets between the clamping plates, vibrating the sheets to square and align their edges, clamping the aligned sheets of paper, presenting the aligned edge of the paper to the heating platen, placing an adhesive hot melt material sheet on the edge of the sheets, heating and melting the hot melt adhesive material sheet onto the edge, and removing the bound sheets from the apparatus.

A radio-frequency identification tag and tape applicator. A preferred embodiment of the invention provides an applicator that includes a tag and tape handling system having a base, a tape supply holder attached to the base, a tag supply holder attached to the base, a tag applying mechanism attached to the base for applying a tag to a length of tape and that includes a taping head for applying the tag and the length of tape to an object. A preferred embodiment of the invention provides a radio-frequency identification tag applicator that includes a tag supply holder, a carrier roll holder, a carrier path from the supply roll holder to the carrier roll holder, a tag dispensing mechanism along the carrier path between the supply roll holder and the carrier roll holder for applying a tag to an object, and an interrogator for writing information to tags along the carrier path between the tag supply holder and the tag dispensing mechanism. The present invention also relates to methods of applying a radio-frequency identification tag to tape and to a variety of preferred embodiments of a package in combination with a radio-frequency identification tag.

A useful embodiment of an RFID-tagged pallet is described, along with other beneficial components of such a system.
摘要:
A sensor system for use with a taping head of a box sealing machine includes a tape dispensing sensor and an box presence sensor. The tape dispensing sensor is positioned along the tape guide path of the taping head for determining whether tape is being dispensed from the taping head and for providing a positive response if tape is being dispensed. The box presence sensor is positioned on the taping head for detecting movement of an element of the taping head that reacts to the box being moved along the taping head and for providing a positive response if a box is present. A control system is provided and is connected to the tape dispensing sensor and the object presence sensor for determining a potential error condition if only one of the tape dispensing sensor and the object presence sensor provides a positive response. Preferably, three sensors are utilized in the sensor system. One senses tape dispensing, another senses a box presence, and yet another senses tape supply left on the roll. Tape breakage, tape run-out and tape run-on error conditions are identified by this sensor system and produce electronic signals that control a fault signalling device, such as a warning light, and also preferably control the main power to the box sealing machine.
