摘要:
A method and structure permit the precision alignment in the packaging of optical components (10), such as lasers, detectors, lenses and waveguides. The technique involves capacitance measurements of an array of plates placed on the optoelectronic device chip and its package substrate (12). The technique uses phase sensitive detection to sense the total current capacitively coupled into a passive plate (14) on the device chip (10) from two overlapping plates (16, 18) located on the package substrate. When the device chip (10) is properly aligned with respect to the package substrate (12), the summed current sensed with a third overlapping plate (22) on the package substrate is a null.

A method of attachment of a thermally conductive element (28) to an electric circuit chip (22) for cooling the chip includes initial steps of forming an oxide-free preform (56) of a fusible metal alloy (50) by extrusion of alloy between two mold blocks or plates (38, 40). During the extrusion, the oxide coating (54) is left behind so that the extruded alloy is essentially free of oxide. The extrusion takes place at a temperature elevated to approximately the liquidus temperature of the alloy. The preform, which may be in the form of a pill (56) or section (74) of thin foil, is placed between interfacing surfaces of the thermally conductive element and the chip, and is then extruded along the interfacing surfaces under pressure and elevated temperature to form a thermally conductive, oxide-free bonding layer of superior thermal conductivity.

A cordless modem comprises a radio pair interfaced to a standard data/fax modem which allows a user of a personal computer to wirelessly connect to a telephone line. One end of the radio pair is a remote unit interfaced to the modem contained within the PC while the other end is a base unit connected to a standard telephone wall jack. This arrangement allows the user the convenience and freedom of using a PC, laptop, personal digital assistant, etc., within several hundred feet of a phone jack without being encumbered by a cord. A warning alarm on the remote unit informs the user when the signal strength between the radio pair is below a threshold value. Additionally, the base unit may be equipped with two spatially separated antennas to help mitigate the effects of signal fading.

A computer system comprises at least two computers which are connected via cordless telephone. The handset of the cordless telephone is integrated with a portable computer and the base station of the cordless telephone is integrated with a regular desktop or desk-side computer. The hand-held computer includes a microprocessor, a display, storage, a keypad to enter data, a microphone to receive voice data and speak to play voice data, and an antenna to communicate with the base station. The base station includes receiver and transmitter and an antenna, signal controller and the means for acting to a telephone system. The apparatus can be adapted for use with a television and a VCR.
摘要:
A manifold (30) for conducting coolant to a set of heat exchangers (26) mounted on individual electric circuit chips (22) of a circuit module (20) is formed of a solid body containing fluid passages terminating in apertures, the manifold being provided with a set of hollow flexible appendages (44) connected to the apertures for conducting coolant to ports of the heat exchangers. The body (40) is formed of two sections, one section (54) having channels machined therein to serve as the fluid passages, and a second (56) section having the apertures. The second section also is bounded by sidewalls which define a cavity (60). The appendages are formed by a lost wax molding operation wherein the wax is stored in the cavity, and milled to form a mold for the appendages. A plastic material is deposited on the wax mold and on the second section of the body to form the set of appendages, the plastic material being of a type which can be deposited by the process of chemical vapor deposition, thereby to provide a conformal deposition which imparts a water-tight characteristic to the manifold.

A computer system includes a chassis and a cartridge having separate functional components that interface with one another over a common bus. The chassis includes a plurality of user interface modules, which are generally designed and packaged according to a particular application/work mode, each coupled to a first bus. The cartridge, on the other hand, includes components that can be shared among the various applications/work modes. Specifically, the cartridge has a core processor and memory coupled to a second bus, and at least one slot for housing a communication module that is coupled to the second bus. In addition, the cartridge may be designed to be configured by the user to have a first form and a second form. The cartridge of the first form may be utilized for portable computer processing systems such as laptop, notebook and sub-notebook systems. The cartridge of the second form may be designed to be narrow enough to be utilized in smaller portable computer processing systems, such as hand-held systems. In another aspect, the computer system includes a chassis having an internal connector with a first portion in electrical contact with a first external peripheral device, and second portion in electrical contact with a second external peripheral device. An adapter is coupled between an internal device and the internal connector. The internal device is associated with either the first or second external peripheral devices. The adapter has either a first portion that connects the internal device to the first portion of the internal connector or a second portion that connects the internal device to the second portion of the internal connector in order to couple the internal device to its associated external peripheral device.
