Portable apparatus for identifying and mitigating defects in electronic devices
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11886088B2) discloses a vacuum engagement system designed to affix a portable defect mitigator to a window surface. The system includes two or more recessed regions with circumferential grooves and sealing members to create separate vacuum chambers on the window surface. These vacuum chambers are capable of holding the portable defect mitigator securely in place during operation. The system also features valves for controlling the vacuum in each chamber independently, ensuring efficient operation and stability. Additionally, a feedback control system is integrated to monitor and maintain the vacuum levels, with the ability to send a shutoff signal to the laser of the portable defect mitigator if vacuum is lost in any chamber.
Furthermore, the patent describes an apparatus for controlling the mitigation of defects in an electronic device on a window using the portable defect mitigator and a laser. The apparatus includes a controller that operates the valves of the vacuum engagement system and the laser. The controller can affix the portable defect mitigator to the window surface by creating suction in the vacuum chambers and control the mitigation of defects by applying laser scribe patterns. It also has the capability to focus the laser beam under the spacer of an insulated glass unit and dynamically adjust the focus on the window surface. In case of vacuum loss in any chamber, the controller can send a shutoff signal to the laser, ensuring the system's reliability and effectiveness in defect mitigation on windows.
