According to the invention, both the carrier structure (28) and the electrical connections (20) are formed as 3D-printed components (27). The invention also relates to an electrical testing device (1), and a method for producing a contact-distance transformer (4).
Abstract:
The present invention provides electronic systems, including device arrays, comprising functional device(s) and/or device component(s) at least partially enclosed via one or more containment chambers, such that the device(s) and/or device component(s) are at least partially, and optionally entirely, immersed in a containment fluid. Useful containment fluids for use in containment chambers of electronic devices of the invention include lubricants, electrolytes and/or electronically resistive fluids. In some embodiments, for example, electronic systems of the invention comprise one or more electronic devices and/or device components provided in free-standing and/or tethered configurations that decouple forces originating upon deformation, stretching or compression of a supporting substrate from the free standing or tethered device or device component.

Abstract:
A stretchable device (100) for transmitting signal between end points, such as a sensor and electronic unit, comprises a conductive element (101), which is coupled with a supporting structure (102) by introducing said conductive element (101) successively through the thickness of said supporting structure (102) to the first (102a) and second (102b) side of said supporting structure, thereby providing a corrugated structure for said conductive element, which is configured to be straighten out at least partially during stretching said device in its longitudinal direction. The conductive element (101) is coupled with said supporting structure (102) between first (104a) and second (104b) outer layers thereby providing the stretchable device (100).
Abstract:
The present invention pertains to a submount (1) for mechanically and electrically coupling an electronic component (4) to a carrier (6). The submount (1) has a mounting portion (10) for mounting the submount to the carrier and has attachment portions (12a, 12b, 12c, 12d) for holding the electronic component. The submount further has primary electric contacts (14a, 14b) for cooperation with respective electrical conductors (61a, 61b) in the carrier, and secondary electric contacts (16a, 16b, 16c) for cooperation with respective electric contacts of the electronic component. The secondary electric contacts are electrically connected to primary electric contacts. The attachment portions are coupled to the mounting portion by respective extension portions (18a, 18b, 18c) that are laterally stretchable in a plane defined by the mounting portion to allow a displacement of the attachment portions in a direction away from the mounting portion.

Abstract:
An electronic device is protected from unauthorized access by use of a security wrap having a security screen (26) connected to an alarm circuit (17) of the electronic device. The security screen (26) has a pair of screen terminals (48) interconnected by a conductor (46). The conductor (46) is formed on a substrate (22). The substrate (22) is arranged such that attempts to remove the security wrap will result in the substrate (22) being torn and the conductor (46) being damaged or broken whereby the resistance of the conductive path formed by the conductor (46) changes to indicate an alarm condition.
Abstract:
There is provided a method for manufacturing a component interconnect board (150) comprising a conductor structure for providing electrical circuitry to at least one component (114) when mounted on the component board, the method comprising providing a conductor sheet (100) with a first predetermined pattern (115), providing a solder resist sheet (112) with a second predetermined pattern for defining solder areas (125) of the component board, forming a subassembly (120) by laminating the solder resist sheet on top of the conductor sheet, applying solder onto the subassembly, placing the at least one component onto the subassembly, performing soldering, and laminating the subassembly to a substrate (130). The solder resist sheet is further arranged to act as a carrier for the conductor sheet.
