摘要:
In an example, monitoring circuitry (307) includes a first () and second (502) coupling, at least one of which is to capacitively couple the monitoring circuitry to a monitored circuit on a product packaging (101). The monitored circuit has a resistance which is indicative of a status of a product (702) stored in the product packaging, and the monitored circuit is to be connected in series between the first coupling and the second coupling. The monitoring apparatus (300) may determine the resistance of the monitored circuit via the first and second couplings.

A flexible electronic system includes a flexible electronic substrate having a first and second contact pads opposed to each other, one of the first and second contact pads is electrically coupled to a battery. A protective cover is disposed on the flexible electronic substrate. The flexible electronic system further includes a base support fixedly attached to the flexible electronic substrate, the base support having an adhesive surface opposed to the flexible electronic substrate, and a foil having a first portion removably coupled to at least a portion of the adhesive surface and a second portion, wherein the foil configures to permit a removal of the second portion disposed between the first and second contact pads and wherein the removal of the second portion activates the system.

A multilayer circuit board of a wireless terminal, a circuit assembly comprising the circuit board and a wireless terminal comprising the circuit assembly are provided. The wireless terminal is of a type which utilizes a UICC. The multilayer circuit board is configured to accommodate a UICC encapsulated within one or more interior layers of the multilayer circuit board, for example as a semiconductor die. The multilayer circuit board is further configured to accommodate one or more additional components integral to functionality of the wireless terminal, optionally also embedded within the circuit board. Integration of components into the interior layers may facilitate theft deterrence and/or tamper resistance. A physical programming interface to the encapsulated UICC may be rendered inaccessible after initial programming.

Carbon nanotubes are dispersed in a curable polymer matrix to form a dispersion (18). When electrical energy is applied to the dispersion, the carbon nanotubes become oriented to form an electrical path (20). The polymer matrix is cured to fix the electrical path.

A substrate device is designed by identifying one or more criteria for handling of a transient electrical event on the substrate device. The one or more criteria may be based at least in part on an input provided from a designer. From the one or more criteria, one or more characteristics may be determined for integrating VSD material as a layer within or on at least a portion of the substrate device. The layer of VSD material may be positioned to protect one or more components of the substrate from the transient electrical condition.

The invention relates to an electronic module comprising a printed circuit board (1) provided with components (2), conductor tracks (4) and a conductor fuse (3) that protects against thermal overload. According to the invention, the conductor fuse (3) is embodied as a bottleneck (5) having a narrower cross section compared to the conductor tracks (4).

The invention relates to a method and device for the objective measurement of the therapy compliance of patients who are undergoing prescribed medication therapy. The medication is provided in blister packages upon which a polymer-based electronic circuit is printed directly on the blister film (2) or foil (1), using so-called intelligent system-in-foil or system-on-foil technology. In a first embodiment of the invention, the printed polymer circuit comprises a number of conductive tracks (3), which run under each blister so that when a pill is expelled from the blister breaking the foil seal, the corresponding track is broken. These tracks are connected to a silicon or printed polymer integrated circuit (6) that records the event when a track is broken and stores this information, including the time of the event and the position of the blister and any other clinically relevant data. In a second embodiment of the invention, a polymer or electret microphone (11) is used to detect the sound that is generated when a pill is expelled from a blister, breaking the foil seal in the process. In this embodiment, the microphone is connected to a silicon or printed polymer integrated circuit (12) that records the event when the seal is broken and stores this information, including the time of the event and the position of the blister and any other clinically relevant data. The electronic circuit also contains RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) technology to enable the information stored in the integrated circuit to be accessed using an RFID reader. Furthermore, the integrated circuit of both embodiments can be programmed using the RFID interface during the blister-filling phase with information about the filling medication, including unique codes to counteract counterfeiting, and logistical data. The circuit further comprises an antenna (10) and a power source (9), both of which can be printed during the same, or a separate, system-in-foil and/or system-on-foil process or mounted as discrete components. The intelligent system-in-foil or system-on-foil in accordance with the invention replaces the standard film or foil currently used in the existing standard blister packaging manufacturing process.
