Abstract:
The invention concerns new modular lighting elements (M) comprising a printed circuit (B), at least one male connector (Cm) and at least one female connector (Cf), series of LEDs (light-emitting diodes) (L) connected in series in groups and integrated circuits (I) for the adjustment of the current supplied to the LEDs; the connectors (Cf,Cm) are electrically and directly connected to each other and said connection lines (La,Lb) for the connectors supplies power to one or more microchips that in turn supplies/supply power to a series of LEDs. The printed circuit (B) may have any shape, for example it may be linear, rectangular, angular, T-shaped, arc-shaped, square, circular or polyhedral, regular or irregular. It is possible to carry out a modular lighting system comprising one or more lighting elements (M).
Abstract:
5 In a method for fabricating a printed circuit board on a doubly contoured or hemispherical substrate such as a radome, a coherent light source is used to form a plurality of elements of a predetermined pattern on the surface of the substrate. The substrate includes a bottom layer and a metallized layer. At least a first element of the pattern is formed by ablating the element into a resist coating or ablating the element into the metallized layer with the coherent light source. The coherent light source preferably includes an excimer laser. The substrate is then displaced relative to the coherent light source until all the elements of the predetermined pattern are formed over the entire surface of the substrate. When the pattern is ablated into the resist material, an etching technique is used to remove portions of the metallized layer from the substrate.
Abstract:
A method of forming an interconnect substrate (30) includes providing at least two unit cells (100,102), arranging the unit cells to form a desired circuit pattern, and joining the unit cells to form the interconnect substrate having the desired circuit pattern. A circuit substrate, has a desired circuit pattern on a substrate, the substrate made up of at least two unit cells having conductive lines electrically connected together.
Abstract:
In a construction for electrically connecting electrical unit with joint surfaces thereof opposed to each other, wiring patterns electrically connected with distortion gauges are formed on function-element forming surfaces of each electrical three-dimensional unit and are extended to edge portions formed between the function-element forming surfaces and adjacent wiring surfaces as the joint surfaces to form first lands; second lands extending from the edge portions by a specified distance are formed at positions of the wiring surfaces corresponding to the first lands; and electrical connectors displaying a joining performance upon being pressed together are formed to bridge the first and second lands while being held in close contact with the first and second lands. A plurality of three-dimensional electrical unit can be securely and easily electrically connected with each other with high precision.
