Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide systems and methods for producing and using a plaited fabric comprising a low-melt yarn for adhering the fabric without a glue adhesive. According to one embodiment, a knitted fabric can comprise a first polymeric yarn of a first material, the first polymeric yarn forming a base of the knitted fabric, and a second polymeric yarn of a second material. The second material can be different from the first material and can have a lower melting temperature than the first material. The first polymeric yarn can be knitted with the second polymeric yarn to form the fabric. Upon an application of heat to the knitted fabric, the second polymeric yarn can form an adhesive and cohesive mechanical attachment to itself and form a tight-knit structural bond within the fabric without the use of a glue adhesive.

Abstract: A bend test device and bend test method enable a mandrel bend test to be automatically performed. The bend test device includes a controlled motor, a drive shaft coupled to the motor, a nose piece coupled to the drive shaft, and a nose clamp for securing a device under test (DUT) to the nose piece. A control system connected to the bend test device uses a programmed control algorithm to control the bend test device. The motor is connected to the drive shaft and rotates the drive shaft in response to control signaling provided by the control system. The rotating drive shaft in turn rotates the nose piece. Rotation of the nose piece bends the mounted DUT. The motor rotates the drive shaft as defined by the software parameters and the DUT is bent back and forth across a defined radius edge.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems for testing the flexibility of a sample such as an electronic device are provided herein. A testing system can have a motor operably connected to a mandrel such that the motor causes the mandrel to accurately and precisely rotate and cause the sample to conform to an outer surface of the mandrel. Moreover, a proximal end of the sample is secured to the outer surface of the mandrel, and the opposing distal end is controlled by a retractable holder such that the entire sample is subjected to a constant bend radius as the mandrel rotates. Other aspects and features such as controlling the environment around the mandrel and securing small samples to the mandrel are also described herein.

Abstract: A planar antenna can include one or more high permeability objects that are added near the planar coil's tips. Further, the planar antenna includes a coil having two or more layers, with each layer having two or more turns. The planar antenna also has a restricted conductor arrangement, where there are a maximum number of turns arranged in any horizontal layer. A turn's conductor could be a single conductor or could be two (2) or more conductors arranged in parallel.

Abstract: At least one example embodiment is directed to a method for controlling a rectifier. The method includes applying a first control signal to a first switch of the rectifier to cause a first current to flow through a first inductor of the rectifier, applying a second control signal to a second switch of the rectifier to cause a second current to flow through a second inductor. The second control signal and the first control signal have a phase difference. The method includes detecting that the first current falls to a first minimum value at a first time, detecting that the second current falls to a second minimum value at a second time, determining a first difference between the first time and the second time, and determining whether to adjust the second control signal based on the first difference to bring the phase difference closer to a target phase difference.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems are provided for the molding and encapsulation of flexible electronic devices. The encapsulation includes providing a mold shell made from an encapsulation material, positioning a flexible electronic device in the mold shell, and dispensing an encapsulant, in a liquid form, around the flexible electronic device. The mold shell, the dispensed encapsulant, and the electronic device forms an integral encapsulation package when the encapsulant is cured. The mold shell and the encapsulant may be made from a same material and, once cured, become an integral part of the encapsulated flexible electronic device.
