Abstract:
An apparatus as associated method contemplating a housing and a midplane supported by the housing having a midplane connector. A printed circuit board (PCB) having a PCB connector is selectively connectable to the midplane connector. A plurality of data storage devices are arranged on the printed circuit board in a staggered pattern, each electrically connected to the PCB connector via a respective electrical trace in the PCB.
Abstract:
Various embodiments include integrated circuit structures having an off-axis in-hole capacitor. In some embodiments, an integrated circuit (IC) structure includes: a substrate layer having an upper surface; an IC chip at least partially contained within the substrate layer and aligned with a minor axis perpendicular to the upper surface of the substrate layer; an aperture in the substrate layer, the aperture physically separated from the IC chip; and a capacitor in the aperture and at least partially contained within the substrate layer, the capacitor being physically isolated from the IC chip, wherein the capacitor is aligned with an axis perpendicular to the upper surface of the substrate layer and offset from the minor axis of the IC chip.

Abstract:
A portable electronic device and a battery pack for the portable electronic device are provided. The portable electronic device includes a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) in which at least one electronic component is disposed, and a battery pack including a heat conductor separately disposed at a gap from the PCB and that transfers heat generated in the electronic component to a battery cell.
Abstract:
An electronic unit (1) having a circuit board, PCB, (2) arranged to be mounted in a main housing (6, 7 and having a first housing part (6) and a second housing part (7), where the first housing part (6) is at least partly electrically conducting. The PCB (2) having a first outer layer (3), a second outer layer (4), and a ground plane (5). The first outer layer (3) faces the first housing part (6) and the second outer layer (4) faces the second housing part (7) The ground plane (5) is in electrical contact with the first housing part (6) forming a first chamber (29), facing the first outer layer (3), and a second chamber (30), facing the second outer layer (4). The chambers (29, 30) are separated by the ground plane (5), providing electromagnetic shielding between the chambers (29, 30).

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for an electronic panel assembly (EPA) (82, 83), comprising: providing one or more electronic devices (30) with primary faces (31) having electrical contacts (36), opposed rear faces (33) and edges (32) therebetween. The devices (30) are mounted primary faces (31) down on a temporary support (60) in openings (44) in a warp control sheet (WCS) (40) attached to the support (60). Plastic encapsulation (50) is formed at least between lateral edges (32, 43) of the devices (30) and WCS openings (44). Undesirable panel warping (76) during encapsulation is mitigated by choosing the WCS coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) to be less than the encapsulation CTE. After encapsulation cure, the EPA (82) containing the devices (30) and the WCS (40) is separated from the temporary support (60) and, optionally, mounted on another carrier (70) with electrical contacts (36) exposed. Thin film insulators (85) and conductors (87) are desirably applied to couple electrical contacts (36) on various devices (30) to each other and to external terminals (88), thereby forming an integrated multi-device EPA (84).
