摘要:
An apparatus, with moving parts, having a flexible circuit configured such that its fatigue life is enhanced. The apparatus includes a first component, a second component, and a positioning mechanism between the first component and the second component. The positioning mechanism enables movement of the first component and the second component between at least a proximate position and a spaced-apart position. Also included between the first component and the second component is a flexible circuit that has a first end coupled to the first component and a second end coupled to the second component. The flexible circuit is configured as a compliant spring that can extend and collapse in a predefined shape when the components are spaced-apart and proximate, respectively.

摘要:
A system and method is provided for selecting a light source in a pointing device such as a mouse. The selection of the light source may be based on attributes of a received image, which are in turn based on reflected light received at the pointing device from the tracking surface. Because the attributes of the receive image are related to characteristics of the tracking surface over which the pointing device is moved, an illumination source appropriate for a particular surface type can be chosen.
摘要:
A method and structure to electrically couple a semiconductor device to a substrate that is divided into a plurality of segments. Alternatively, a semiconductor device may be divided into a plurality of segments and the plurality of segments are electrically coupled to a single substrate.

摘要:
Force measuring systems for electronic pens, styli, or other products may include structure for changing a direction or location of application of a force (e.g., a force transmitted via pen or stylus contact with a writing surface) from a first direction or location to a second direction or location. In this manner, a sensor portion of the force measuring system may be reoriented in a direction such that it is not normal to the direction of the force. This feature may help make electronic pens or styli (or other products) thinner and dimensioned more consistent with their non-electronic counterparts. Various structures for changing the direction or location of application of the force are described.

摘要:
A flexible chip carrier with contact pads on its upper surface matching those of the chip with said pads conductively connected to land grid array (LGA) pads on its lower surface matching the those of a card or PCB. The chip carrier is provided with a stiffening layer at the LGA interface. The stiffening layer is mechanically attached to the lower surface of the chip carrier. Holes are formed in the stiffening layer to expose the LGA pads. The holes are then filled with a conductive adhesive material. Compliant LGA bumps are applied to the uncured conductive adhesive material which material is then cured.
