TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INSTRUMENTATION AND TESTING - Preferred Components: The groove and adhesive tape define an open gap for receiving the flat panel, where the open gap has a width (Wg) not greater than thickness (Tp), the width (Wg) of the open gap is not greater than 95% (Tp), preferably not greater than 80% Tp. The adhesive tape has a second adhesive surface which is configured to adhere to the panel, and further comprises a liner covering the second adhesive surface of the adhesive tape, and the liner is configured to substantially prevent dust from contacting the second adhesive surface of the adhesive tape. In the frame assembly, the adhesive tape is affixed to each of the first side surface, the second side surface and the base surface. The groove has a depth of 2-25 mm or 5-20 mm, and has a width of 2-20 mm or 4-15 mm. In the frame assembly (I), the cushion extends into contact with the adhesive. The packaging includes a separator and an exterior binding, the exterior binding is configured to hold the frame assemblies in compression, and the exterior binding includes straps, polymer film and/or box. The separator includes a framework, many spacers, expandable foam, packaging peanut, paper product, polymer film and/or an air filled polymer bag. Preferred Process: The process of assembling the panel, further comprises: removing a second frame assembly from the shipping package and inserting a second panel into the groove of the second frame assembly; removing a liner to expose the adhesive within the groove, the liner is configured to substantially prevent dust from contacting the adhesive, and the liner is configured to substantially prevent water vapor from contacting the adhesive; and heating the adhesive to 100-250 degrees C to reduce the viscosity of the adhesive to not greater than 200 Pa-s. The process of preparing frame assembly, further comprises shipping the shipping package to a panel assembler. The shipping package is configured to fix the position of each frame assembly with respect to the other frame assemblies. In the process of assembling the panel, after inserting the panel into the groove, the adhesive tape has a compression ratio of at least 20%, preferably at least 40% or not greater than 65%.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - POLYMERS - Preferred Components: The cushion is pre-extruded, non-adhesive cushioning foam, and the cushion is polyvinylchloride, polyethylene and/or polyurethane.
