20120100318 | LASER ASSISTED DIRECT BONDING - Techniques are described for directly bonding different substrates together. In some examples, a technique includes placing a first surface of a first substrate in contact with a second surface of a second substrate to directly bond the first substrate to the second substrate at a contact location. The contact location is defined where at least a portion of the first surface of the first substrate contacts at least a portion of the second surface of the second substrate. The technique may also include directing a laser beam on at least a portion of the contact location to strengthen the direct bond between the first substrate and the second substrate. In this manner, a direct bond may be heated with localized laser energy to strengthen the direct bond. Localized laser energy may create a strong direct bond while minimizing thermal defects in regions proximate the direct bond. | 04-26-2012 |

20090293070 | DEVICE DISPLAY OBJECT INFRASTRUCTURE - Multi-function devices expose multiple functions to device drivers or other lower-level software. Device function providers can interface with such drivers or lower-level software and can provide information, including device identifiers regarding such functions, to a device display object infrastructure. A device display object can then be created that encompasses one or more functions such that, in one embodiment, the device display object corresponds to a single, physical multi-function device. Alternatively, any combination of functionality from one or more physical devices can be combined into a single device display object representing a virtual multi-function device. Properties of the device display object can be set with reference to user-specified settings, remotely maintained metadata, locally available metadata, and information associated with each function. Functions can be ranked such that, if there is a conflict, information from more highly ranked functions is used to set the properties of the device display object. | 11-26-2009 |
20120278796 | AUTOMATICALLY INSTALLING DEVICE DRIVERS - When a device is connected to a computer, many computers are configured to seek a driver for a device (e.g., accessible over a network), install either the driver for the device (if accessible) or a default driver, and terminate the installation process. However, this process may delay access to the device until the driver is fully installed, and may leave a device in an incomplete state through the default driver, even if a driver is subsequently accessible. Instead, when a device is connected, the computer may promptly install a default driver in order to provide rapid access to the device. The computer may then begin and persist in seeking access to a driver library containing a driver for the device, and upon (eventually) retrieving the driver, may replace the default driver with the driver, thereby achieving full functionality of the device through the proper driver without involving the user. | 11-01-2012 |
