Abstract: A flexure for a camera module is provided. The flexure includes a dynamic platform to which an image sensor is connected such that the image sensor moves with the dynamic platform. The flexure also includes a static platform connected to a static portion of the camera. The flexure further includes a plurality of flexure arms that mechanically connect the dynamic platform to the static platform. The plurality of flexure arms includes a first flexure arm including one or more signal traces having a first impedance and a base layer having a first width. The plurality of flexure arms includes a second flexure arm including one or more signal traces having a second impedance and a base layer having a second width. The first impedance is greater than the second impedance. The first width is less than the second width. The second flexure arm routes image data from the image sensor.

Abstract: An optical module includes an enclosure and an optical output assembly mounted on the enclosure. An emitter mounted in the enclosure is configured to emit a beam of light toward the optical output assembly. A connector, which includes two conductive layers separated by a dielectric layer, has a first side connected to the enclosure and a second side connected to the optical output assembly. An electrical trace disposed on the enclosure is connected to the first side of the connector so as to define a test circuit having a capacitance. Control circuitry is coupled to sense the capacitance of the test circuit, and configured to inhibit operation of the emitter upon sensing a change in the capacitance that exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: An electronic module includes an operational subunit, having upper, lower and lateral surfaces, and including one or more electronic components, which are adjacent to the lower surface of the operational subunit and generate heat when the module is in operation. A heat sink is disposed in proximity to the lower surface of the operational subunit. A heat spreader, including a continuous sheet of a heat-conducting material, is folded to wrap around the operational subunit so that a lower side of the sheet is interposed between the lower surface of the operational subunit and the heat sink and a lateral side of the sheet extends around at least one of the lateral surfaces of the operational subunit.
