Abstract:
A microstrip antenna has through-hole connections made by tubular braid and resilient springs to accommodate a high coefficient of expansion, in the direction of the antenna thickness.
Abstract:
A circuit interconnect may be used in biometric data sensing and feedback applications. A circuit interconnect may be used in device device-to-device connections (e.g., Internet of Things (IoT) devices), including applications that require connection between stretchable and rigid substrates. A circuit interconnect may include a multi-pin, snap-fit attachment mechanism, where the attachment mechanism provides an electrical interconnection between a rigid substrate and a flexible or stretchable substrate. The combination of a circuit interconnect and flexible or stretchable substrate provides improved electrical connection reliability, allows for greater stretchability and flexibility of the circuit traces, and allows for more options in connecting a stretchable circuit trace to a rigid PCB.
Abstract:
An apparatus such as an appliance with a printed circuit board, PCB, (202) mounted haptic feedback device (200) is provided. The apparatus comprises a printed circuit board (PCB) having an opening (204) defined therein, and a spool (206) affixed to the PCB and having a shaft with a coil (208) wound thereabout. The shaft defines an opening aligned with the opening of the PCB. The apparatus also comprises a spring-loaded plunger positioned and movable within the opening of the shaft. The spring-loaded plunger includes a metallic disk operatively coupled to an end of the plunger and distally positioned to the spool. A control component of the apparatus is configured to energize the coil according to a haptic feedback pattern, and thereby cause the coil to attract the metallic disk and move the plunger within the opening of the shaft of the spool, and through the opening of the PCB.
