    Abstract: ACTIVE DEVICES THAT HAVE EITHER A THREAD OR A RIBBON GEOMETRY. THE THREAD GEOMETRY INCLUDES SINGLE THREAD ACTIVE DEVICES (105,170,190) AND MULTIPLE THREAD DEVICES(50,90,100,120,140). SINGLE THREAD DEVICES HAVE A CENTRAL CORE (154,174,194) THAT MAY CONTAIN DIFFERENT MATERIALS DEPENDING UPON WHETHER THE ACTIVE DEVICE IS RESPONSIVE TO ELECTRICAL, LIGHT, MECHANICAL, HEAT, OR CHEMICAL ENERGY. SINGLE THREAD ACTIVE DEVICES INCLUDE FETS, ELECTRO-OPTICAL DEVICES, STRESS TRANSDUCERS, AND THE LIKE. THE ACTIVE DEVICES INCLUDE A SEMICONDUCTOR BODY (158,176,196) THAT FOR THE SINGLE THREAD DEVICES IS A LAYER ABOUT THE CORE OF THE THREAD. FOR THE MULTIPLE THREAD DEVICES, THE SEMICONDUCTOR BODY IS EITHER A LAYER(72,76,78,80) ON ONE OR MORE OF THE THREADS OR AN ELONGATED BODY(110,130) DISPOSED BETWEEN TWO OF THE THREADS. FOR EXAMPLE, A FET IS FORMED OF THREE THREADS, ONE (54,56) OF WHICH CARRIES A GATE INSULATOR LAYER AND A SEMICONDUCTOR LAYER AND THE OTHER TWO (58,60) OF WHICH ARE ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE AND SERVE AS THE SOURCE AND DRAIN. THE SUBSTRATES OR THREADS ARE PREFERABLY FLEXIBLE AND CAN BE FORMED IN A FABRIC.FIGURE 1

    Abstract: An electrical connector is described for making contact with a plurality of convex and deformable contacts (40, 46) on an electronic device (38). The electrical connector comprises a substrate having a plurality of conductors (10, 12, 14) which extend above its surface. A polymeric material (20) is disposed on the surface of the substrate and has openings which expose the conductors, each opening sized to receive one of the convex, deformable contacts, and to enable electrical connection between the exposed conductors and the deformable contacts. A mechanism is provided for urging the deformable contacts on the electronic device against the exposed conductors. The mechanism exerts sufficient force between the device and the conductors to cause some deformation of the convex contact areas by the conductors.

    Abstract: A microwave processing system is provided wherein the material to be processed is in the form of a web type quantity configuration with a thickness that is small in relation to the wavelength of a particular microwave frequency. The material is passed through the field associated with a plurality of microwave standing waves of the particular frequency, each adjacent standing wave being offset 1/4 wavelength along the direction of movement of the web. A carrier gas removes volatile solvents from the material surfaces. Control is provided for the interrelationship of temperature, rate of movement, flow of carrier gas, and microwave power.
