A shippable data transfer device includes a data storage medium encased in a chamber surrounded by an anti-tamper casing. The anti-tamper casing includes an anti-tamper layer with identifying elements arranged in a unique or otherwise identifiable pattern. The anti-tamper layer is configured to actively re-arrange, alter, or obscure the identifying elements in response to a breach of the anti-tamper casing.

The invention includes a radiation diffracting member having a crystalline structure comprising an ordered periodic array of hollow particles. The radiation diffracting member also includes a matrix material in which the array of particles is received.

Hollow particle crystalline colloidal arrays

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for self-healing flexible electrophoretic displays and related devices. In one embodiment, an example flexible electrophoretic display may include a flexible plastic thin film transistor (TFT) backplane having a first width, an electrophoretic layer coupled to the flexible plastic TFT backplane, an electrode layer coupled to the electrophoretic layer, an integrated circuit disposed on the flexible plastic TFT backplane, and a protective sheet having a second width that is greater than or equal to the first width.

Self-healing flexible electrophoretic displays

A flexible housing for a flexible electronic device is coupled to a cover lens for enclosing components disposed between the flexible housing and the cover lens. The flexible housing includes a flexible polymer substrate. A first metal layer covering at least a portion of the flexible polymer substrate. A second metal layer is disposed on the first metal layer. A protective coating covers the second metal layer.

Flexible protective housing for electronic devices

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for water resistant connectors having conductive elements. In one embodiment, an example water resistant connector may include a first connector with a first conductive layer and a first water resistant layer adjacent to the first conductive layer, and a circuit component with a second conductive layer positioned on a first side of the circuit component, and a second water resistant layer adjacent to the second conductive layer. The first conductive layer and the second conductive layer may be in contact in a connected configuration.

Water resistant connectors with conductive elements

Disclosed are methods for treating metal substrates that include contacting the substrate with a pretreatment composition comprising a rare earth metal and a zirconyl compound. The present invention also relates to coated substrates produced thereby and further to substrates additionally coated with an electrophoretically applied coating composition.

Zirconium pretreatment compositions containing a rare earth metal, associated methods for treating metal substrates, and related coated metal substrates

Described in this disclosure is a surface configured to break down deposits thereon. The surface may include breakdown structures, oleophilic structures, and hydrophilic structures. The oleophilic structures and hydrophilic structures are configured to disperse a deposit, such as fingerprint residue, to the breakdown structures. This dispersion increases the surface area of the deposit with respect to the breakdown structures, increasing the contact area between the two. The breakdown structures modify the deposit physically, chemically, or both, such that fragments are distributed into the ambient environment. The surface may be applied to portable electronic devices.

Deposit dissipating layer

Describe herein are electronic devices that include a display stack having a cover component atop a display component. In some instances, the cover component includes an anti-reflective stack having multiple layers tuned to reduce the amount of natural light reflected at a user of the device. In some cases, an anti-fingerprint coating may be applied over the anti-reflective stack to provide an exterior surface to the display stack.

Cover assembly for electronic devices

A side surface of a cover glass of an electronic device may be coated with a curable ink to reduce leakage of light from the side surface. The ink may be deposited on the side surface via a pen comprising a reservoir, a valve, and a nib. The nib may comprise a fiber bundle through which pigment particles may pass. The ink may be precisely deposited via the nib on the side surface without visible ink overflowing to a front surface or a back surface of the cover glass.

Ink coating application system and method

A coating comprising the reaction product of a natural oil derived polyol, a lactide and a radiation curable moiety, such as a (meth)acrylate, are disclosed.

Radiation curable coating compositions comprising a lactide reaction product

Describe herein are electronic devices that includes a display stack having a composite cover component atop a display component. In some instances, the composite cover component includes a top layer and a bottom layer formed from an inorganic material and at least one inner layer formed from an organic material. In other instances, the composite cover component includes a top layer and a bottom layer formed from an organic material and at least one inner layer formed from an inorganic material.

Composite cover assembly for electronic devices

A structure of a device, such as a surface coating, is composed of one or more materials that are arranged to change one or more characteristics in response to a stimulus, such as an electrical signal, a magnetic field, application of thermal energy, and so forth. The changed characteristics may include a tactile characteristic, a visual characteristic, or other type of characteristic that is perceivable by a user of the device. A state for the adjustable structure may be determined based on user preference data that is stored on the device or input by a user through a user interface. The state for the adjustable structure may also be automatically determined based on device motion, orientation, environment factors, and so forth.

Adjusting structural characteristics of a device

Disclosed are replenisher compositions and methods of replenishing pretreatment compositions. The methods include adding a replenisher composition to a pretreatment composition wherein the replenisher composition includes: (a) a dissolved complex metal fluoride ion wherein the metal ion comprises a Group IIIA metal, Group IVA metal, Group IVB metal, or combinations thereof; (b) a component comprising an oxide, hydroxide, or carbonate of Group IIIA, Group IVA, Group IVB metals, or combinations thereof; and optionally (c) a dissolved metal ion comprising a Group IB metal, Group IIB metal, Group VIIB metal, Group VIII metal, Lanthanide Series metal, or combinations thereof.

Replenishing compositions and methods of replenishing pretreatment compositions

The invention includes a composite material for use in a security device including a radiation diffracting component that exhibits a first optical effect and a photochromic component that exhibits a second optical effect. The composite material is particularly suited for use in authenticating articles, such as currency.
