Abstract:
An electronic assembly (100) includes a backplate (102), a substrate (106) and a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) (104). The backplate (102) includes a cavity (103) and the substrate (106) includes a plurality of interconnected electrical components (107). The substrate (106) is positioned within the cavity (103) and a wall height of the cavity (103) is greater than a combined thickness of the substrate (106) and the adhesive (104), which bonds the substrate (106) to the backplate (102).
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for measuring wind and rain related information is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a dome shaped portion which is exposed to wind and rain. This dome shaped portion is mounted to a rod, which is mounted to the inside of a housing through a flexible diaphragm. This diaphragm cooperates with sensor electrodes arranges on a rigid plate within the housing. The change in capacity between the diaphragm and the sensor electrodes is determined and evaluated to produce information about the wind direction, corresponding to a capacitance change in certain sectors of the sensing electrodes, and the wind speed, corresponding to the amount of capacitance change. Pulse shaped capacitance changes are interpreted as rain drops allowing to determine by integration the amount of rainfall.
