Abstract:
A chip attached to and electrically connected with a printed conductive surface, whereby the chip is heated to a temperature, which is lower than what the chip can stand without being damaged by the heat, the heated chip is then pressed against the printed conductive surface with a pressing force, whereby a combination of said temperature and said pressing force is sufficient to at least partly melt the material of at least one of the printed conductive surface, the contact point on the chip, or both, thereby attaching and electrically connecting the chip to the printed conductive surface.
Abstract:
A method and an arrangement are disclosed for producing an electrically conductive pattern on a surface. Electrically conductive solid particles are transferred onto an area of predetermined form on a surface of a substrate. The electrically conductive solid particles are heated to a temperature that is higher than a characteristic melting point of the electrically conductive solid particles, thus creating a melt. The melt is pressed against the substrate in a nip, wherein a surface temperature of a portion of the nip that comes against the melt is lower than said characteristic melting point.
Abstract:
A package comprises a body, and an electrically conductive pattern supported by said body. An interface portion is configured to receive a module to a removable attachment with the package. The electrically conductive pattern comprises, at least partly within said interface portion, a wireless coupling pattern that constitutes one half of a wireless coupling arrangement.
Abstract:
A method and an arrangement are disclosed for transferring electrically conductive material in fluid form onto a substrate. Said substrate is preheated to a first temperature, and of said electrically conductive material there is produced fluid electrically conductive material. The fluid electrically conductive material is sprayed onto the preheated substrate to form a pattern of predetermined kind. The substrate onto which said fluid electrically conductive material was sprayed is cooled to a third temperature, which is lower than the melting point of said electrically conductive material.

Abstract:
A monitoring system for monitoring smart package content use, wherein the system comprises a smart package. The smart package in turn comprises removable content units, such as pill type or tablet type or other singly packed objects, as well as most preferably wireless communication elements. The system comprises also database elements with which the smart package can be in communication. In addition, the smart package is adapted to detect said removal of a content unit and to deliver information to said database elements by way of said communication elements, regarding a removal of said content unit. The smart package is identifiable by the database elements on the basis of information delivered by way of said communication elements.
