Abstract:
A contact sensor formed of a pair of thin flexible insulating sheets and having a plurality of elongate flexible leads, each connected to a single terminal and having an independent sensing pad positionable via the elongate flexible leads at separate selected locations between a pair of confronting surfaces to separately and independently sense the loads applied at the separate selected locations.
Abstract:
A curved array ultrasonic transducer is manufactured by cutting a flat transducer plate, which is attached to a flexible support plate, into a plurality of segments, the segments being hingedly attached by the support plate. The support plate is bent to a radius and the conductive traces in a flexible circuit board are electrically connected to the transducer plate segments. The flexible circuit board, having a plurality of branches, is bent to a perpendicular position such that the traces in the plurality of branches become substantially aligned. The traces exiting the branches are then electrically connected to a pin and socket connector device.

Abstract:
One embodiment of the present invention provides a highly reliable display device. In particular, a display device to which a signal or a power supply potential can be supplied stably is provided. Further, a bendable display device to which a signal or a power supply potential can be supplied stably is provided. The display device includes, over a flexible substrate, a display portion, a plurality of connection terminals to which a signal from an outside can be input, and a plurality of wirings. One of the plurality of wirings electrically connects one of the plurality of connection terminals to the display portion. The one of the plurality of wirings includes a first portion including a plurality of separate lines and a second portion in which the plurality of lines converge.
Abstract:
A transmission line includes, in a stacked insulator in which insulator layers are stacked, a first transmission line portion including a first ground conductor pattern, a second ground conductor pattern, and a first signal conductor pattern, and a second transmission line portion including a third ground conductor pattern, a fourth ground conductor pattern, and a second signal conductor pattern. The first signal conductor pattern extends along the second signal conductor pattern. The first ground conductor pattern and the third ground conductor pattern are provided on different insulator layers and at least partially overlap each other in a plan view.
Abstract:
Provided are electrical harness assemblies and methods of forming such harness assemblies. A harness assembly comprises a conductor trace, comprising a conductor lead with a width-to-thickness ratio of at least 2. This ratio provides for a lower thickness profile and enhances heat transfer from the harness to the environment. In some examples, a conductor trace may be formed from a thin sheet of metal. The same sheet may be used to form other components of the harness. The conductor trace also comprises a connecting end, monolithic with the conductor lead. The width-to-thickness ratio of the connecting end may be less than that of the conductor trace, allowing for the connecting end to be directly mechanically and electrically connected to a connector of the harness assembly. The connecting end may be folded, shaped, slit-rearranged, and the like to reduce its width-to-thickness ratio, which may be close to 1.
Abstract:
A resin multilayer substrate includes a substrate main body including first, second, and third wiring portions connected to one another by a connecting portion. First, second and third external connection terminals are respectively included in the first, second and third wiring portions. The first external connection terminal includes a conductor exposed at a surface of the substrate main body. The second and third external connection terminals include connectors mounted on conductors on the surface of the substrate main body. An auxiliary mounting conductor is disposed between the first external connection terminal and the second and third external connection terminals on the surface of the substrate main body.
