Abstract:
A method for forming a three-dimensional object with at least one conductive trace comprises providing an intermediate structure that is generated (e.g., additively or subtractively generated) from a first material in accordance with a model design of the three-dimensional object. The intermediate structure may have at least one predefined location for the at least one conductive trace. The model design includes the at least one predefined location. Next, the at least one conductive trace may be generated adjacent to the at least one predefined location of the intermediate structure. The at least one conductive trace may be formed of a second material that has an electrical and/or thermal conductivity that is greater than the first material.

Bei einem Datenlogger (1) wird vorgeschlagen, an einem Gehäuse (6) zwei voneinander elektrisch getrennte metallische Wandbereiche (7, 8) auszubilden, durch welche ein Datenanschluss, der zumindest einen ersten Pol (4) und einen zweiten Pol (5) aufweist, von außen elektrisch zu kontaktieren (vgl. Fig. 3).
Abstract:
An electrical connector has one or more body portions in which is disposed an electrical terminal having at least one contact pad interface for coupling to a contact pad of at least one printed circuit board (PCB). The body has an associated fastening device which is used to mechanically and electrically couple the electrical connector to the at least one PCB. The electrical connector may be provided with a full or partial hourglass-like shape, when viewed from the side and/or from above, to facilitate its use with a PCB that carries a source of light, such as an LED.

Abstract:
A low Z profile consolidated thermal module suitable for securing and removing excess heat generated by an integrated circuit (208) mounted to a printed circuit board (214) and operating in a compact computing environment is disclosed. The consolidated thermal module comprises a heat removal assembly (202, 204, 206) with a reduced footprint and disposed on a first surface of the printed circuit board and in thermal contact with the integrated circuit. A retaining mechanism (210) is disposed on a second surface of the printed circuit board and a backer plate (218) is disposed between the retaining mechanism and the printed circuit board. At least one fastener (212) secures the heat removal assembly to the backer plate and the retaining mechanism, wherein the retaining mechanism causes a substantially uniform retaining force to be applied across the backer plate, thereby minimizing an amount of torque applied to the integrated circuit.
Abstract:
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Stellvorrichtung (1) zum bidirektionalen Verstellen eines Stellglieds (2) mit einem Gehäuse (4) aus Kunststoff und mit einer Positionssensorik (15) zum Erfassen einer Position einer mobilen Komponente (16) der Stellvorrichtung (1) relativ zu einer stationären Komponente (17) der Stellvorrichtung (1), wobei die Positionssensorik (15) eine Platine (18) aufweist, die wenigstens einen Positionssensor (19) trägt und die mit einer zumindest teilweise in den Kunststoff des Gehäuses (4) eingebetteten Metallstruktur (20) elektrisch kontaktiert ist. Die Dauerhaltbarkeit der elektr. Verbindung in der Stellvorrichtung (1) lässt sich verbessern, wenn die Platine (18) über wenigstens ein Kontaktelement (24) mit der Metallstruktur (20) elektrisch kontaktiert ist, das zwischen einer elektrisch mit der Platine (18) kontaktierten Platinenkontaktzone (25) und einer elektrisch mit der Metallstruktur (20) kontaktierten Metallstrukturkontaktzone (26) eine wellenförmig gebogene Federzone (27) aufweist, die Relativbewegungen zwischen der Platinenkontaktzone (25) und der Metallstrukturkontaktzone (26) federelastisch aufnimmt.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a printed circuit board arrangement (20) having at least two printed circuit boards (11; 12′), which are located alongside one another on a common, electrically conductive base plate (13′), have two mutually opposite edges, forming an intermediate space (14), and are connected to one another, bridging the intermediate space (14) by means of electrical connections (21), in order to transmit extremely high frequencies. In the case of a printed circuit board arrangement such as this, RF-compatible electrical connections are made between the printed circuit boards in a simple and space-saving manner when the printed circuit boards are fitted on the base plate and without any further necessary additional tasks or reworking, in that the electrical connections are each made via at least one contact-making element (21), via which the printed circuit boards make detachable electrical contact with one another when mounted on the base plate (13′).
