Patent GB-2520733-A (GB)
Title: Method and apparatus for treatment of aqueous dispersion
Inventor: RITCHIE DANIEL THOMAS EXLEY
IPC: C02F9/02
Filed: 2013-11-29
Abstract: Method for separation of dispersed particles from an aqueous dispersion involves subjecting the aqueous dispersion to electrocoagulation (EC) treatment to promote formation of a flocculate comprising the particles, collecting the flocculate comprising the particles as a flocculated layer 16 floating on a clarified aqueous solution 17 and separating the flocculate from the remaining clarified aqueous solution. An aqueous solution of a gas is blended with the aqueous dispersion of particles, prior to separating the flocculate from the remaining clarified aqueous solution, wherein the aqueous solution is arranged to be supersaturated with the gas on blending with the aqueous dispersion. The blending of the EC-treated aqueous dispersion with the supersaturated solution of gas facilitates improved flotation and separation of flocculate, such as flocculated fat, from the clarified aqueous solution. An apparatus is also claimed which comprises a flow-through assembly for EC treatment. The assembly comprises a chamber 13, 14 with opposed electrodes (28, Fig. 2) and sacrificial electrodes (29, Fig. 2) positioned between the opposed electrodes, a gas solution generation device 23, 24 and a settling tank 15.

Title: Display manufacture
Inventor: PADRAIG HUGHES
IPC: H01L27/15
Filed: 2016-05-27
Abstract: A simplified method for manufacturing an LED display 1600, having pixels 1622a comprised of sub-pixels 1624a. Emitters on the LED dies form the sub-pixels. A first placement cycle, using a pick up tool (PUT), positions untested LED dies onto a substrate at locations corresponding to the pixels 1622a. The emitters are tested to determine which are not-functioning. Based on the test, further LED dies are selected and positioned on the substrate by the PUT, at locations of the defective emitters. Prior to pick up, the selected LEDs may be bonded to a handle layer. A deformable material may be bonded to the LED dies, for adhesion to the PUT, the bond strength modified by ultraviolet light. An underfill, may form a temporary bond for contact between the LED dies and substrate during testing. The test may include reverse and forward bias to the emitters. The method may be computer controlled.
