摘要:
An electronic card assembly is provided which includes a protective housing having a movable card therein. The card, in one example one having a magnetic stripe, has its information erased when being inserted into the housing and re-written back onto its information portion (magnetic stripe) during card withdrawal, provided appropriate human information (e.g., from a fingerprint) is received by the assembly's reader component.
摘要:
A circuitized substrate (e.g., PCB) including an internal optical pathway as part thereof such that the substrate is capable of transmitting and/or receiving both electrical and optical signals. The substrate includes an angular reflector on one of the cladding layers such that optical signals passing through the optical core will impinge on the angled reflecting surfaces of the angular reflector and be reflected up through an opening (including one with optically transparent material therein), e.g., to a second circuitized substrate also having at least one internal optical pathway as part thereof, to thus interconnect the two substrates optically. A method of making the substrate is also provided.
摘要:
A multilayered PCB including two multilayered portions, one of these able to electrically connect electronic components mounted on the PCB to assure high frequency connections therebetween. The PCB further includes a conventional PCB portion to reduce costs while assuring a structure having a satisfactory overall thickness for use in the PCB field. Coupling is also possible to the internal portion from these components. Methods of making these structures have also been provided.
摘要:
A detachable, logic leaf module having dendritic projections on a surface is connected to a recessed area on the surface of a cluster interface board. The projections are used for electrically connecting the logic module device to the cluster interface board or the like, the projections on the surface of the logic leaf being flexibly and conductively wired to the receiving area on the surface of the cluster interface board. The logic leaf connector is removable without the need for solder softening thermal cycles or special tools, and permits the simple removal or replacement of an individual leaf at any time.
摘要:
An electrical assembly which includes a circuitized substrate including a first plurality of dielectric and electrically conductive circuit layers alternatively oriented in a stacked orientation, a thermal cooling structure bonded to one of the dielectric layers and at least one electrical component mounted on the circuitized substrate. The circuitized substrate includes a plurality of electrically conductive and thermally conductive thru-holes located therein, selected ones of the thermally conductive thru-holes thermally coupled to the electrical component(s) and extending through the first plurality of dielectric and electrically conductive circuit layers and being thermally coupled to the thermal cooling structure, each of these selected ones of thermally conductive thru-holes providing a thermal path from the electrical component to the thermal cooling structure during assembly operation. The thermal cooling structure is adapted for having cooling fluid pass there-through during operation of the assembly. A method of making the substrate is also provided.
摘要:
A method of making a circuitized substrate (e.g., PCB) including at least one and possibly several internal optical pathways as part thereof such that the resulting substrate will be capable of transmitting and/or receiving both electrical and optical signals. The method involves forming at least one opening between a side of the optical core and an adjacent upstanding member such that the opening is defined by at least one angular sidewall. Light passing through the optical core material (or into the core from above) is reflected off this angular sidewall. The medium (e.g., air) within the opening thus also serves as a reflecting medium due to its own reflective index in comparison to that of the adjacent optical core material. The method utilizes many processes used in conventional PCB manufacturing, thereby keeping costs to a minimum. The formed substrate is capable of being both optically and electrically coupled to one or more other substrates possessing similar capabilities, thereby forming an electro-optical assembly of such substrates.
