Abstract:
The present invention relates to printed circuit boards (PCBs), and more particularly, to methods of forming high aspect ratio through holes and high precision stub removal in a printed circuit board (PCB). The high precision stub removal processes may be utilized in removing long stubs and short stubs. In the methods, multiple holes of varying diameter and depth are drilled from an upper and/or lower surface of the printed circuit board utilizing drills of different diameters.
Abstract:
A multilayer printed circuit board is provided having a first dielectric layer and a first plating resist selectively positioned in the first dielectric layer. A second plating resist may be selectively positioned in the first dielectric layer or a second dielectric layer, the second plating resist separate from the first plating resist. A through hole extends through the first dielectric layer, the first plating resist, and the second plating resist. An interior surface of the through hole is plated with a conductive material except along a length between the first plating resist and the second plating resist. This forms a partitioned plated through hole having a first via segment electrically isolated from a second via segment.
Abstract:
User equipment is configured to collect biosensor data from an integrated biosensor or by receiving biosensor data from one or more external biosensors. The user equipment includes a Health Monitoring (HM) application. The HM application is configured to receive the biosensor data and display the biosensor data on the display of the user equipment. The user equipment may also communicate biosensor data over a local or wide area network to a third party, such as a pharmacy or health care provider.
Abstract:
A core or sub-composite structure is provided including a dielectric layer between a first conductive film and a second conductive film. The first conductive film may include a first peelable/removable cover layer formed on or coupled to a first conductive layer. The second conductive film may include a second peelable/removable cover layer formed on or coupled to a second conductive layer.
Abstract:
A printed circuit board (PCB) is provided comprising a plurality of non-conductive layers with conductive or signal layers in between. The PCB includes a first conductive via traversing the plurality of non-conductive and conductive or signal layers as well as a second conductive via traversing the plurality of non-conductive layers and conductive or signal layers, the second conductive via located substantially parallel to the first conductive via. An embedded electro-optical passive element is also provided that extends perpendicular to and between the first conductive via and the second conductive via. The electro-optical passive element embedded is located within a selected layer at a first depth in the printed circuit board, wherein such first depth is selected to reflect an incident electromagnetic wave back into the printed circuit board to enhance or diminish an electrical signal in the first conductive via by creating a positive or negative electromagnetic interference.
