摘要:
An integrated circuit packages comprises a printed circuit board, a non-metal connector, and a metal casing. The printed circuit board includes a ground ring around the non-metal connector. The metal casing substantially encloses the printed circuit board, and has an opening that allows access to the non-metal connector. The metal casing has a metal lip that makes physical and electrical contact with the ground ring of the printed circuit board. The metal casing may be used to help reduce EMI from a transmitter.

An apparatus comprising a spring retainer attachable to a printed circuit board; and a spring having a fixed end and a free end, wherein the fixed end is attached to the spring retainer and the free end is in contact with, and exerts a force on, the printed circuit board when the spring retainer is attached to the printed circuit board. A process comprising attaching a clamp to a printed circuit board, the clamp being positioned over one or more contact pads on the printed circuit board and comprising a spring retainer attached to the printed circuit board, and a spring having a fixed end and a free end, wherein the fixed end is attached to the spring retainer and the free end is in contact with, and exerts a force on, the printed circuit board; and inserting a flexible circuit with one or more electrical contact pads thereon between the spring and the printed circuit board such that the electrical contact pads of the flexible circuit are pressed by the spring against the corresponding electrical contact pads on the printed circuit board.

摘要:
The present invention relates, generally, to the reduction or elimination of permanent and catastrophic herniations in Bowden cables or coil pipes in articulating devices or snake-like robots. More particularly, the present invention relates managing the coil pipes in a spiral pattern along the articulating device or snake-like robot to reduce or eliminate the necessity of the Bowden cables or coil pipes to slide along the length of the articulating device or snake-like robot. Reduction or elimination of the necessity for the Bowden cables or coil pipes to slide reduces or eliminates catastrophic herniations in articulating devices or snake-like robots undergoing one or more articulations.
