Abstract:
The present invention uses metallization termination techniques to reduce the electro-magnetic field scattering at the edges of metallized areas. The metallization termination techniques provide a gradual transition from high conductivity areas to high impedance areas. The mobile phone antenna illuminates the PCB allowing currents to flow on the PCB. When the currents reach edges of the PCB they flow through a region of increasingly high impedance without reflecting back or scattering.
Abstract:
A chassis and associated telecommunication circuit card are disclosed. The chassis has heat dissipation and flame containment features while accommodating a high density of the circuitry cards. Embodiments include an inner housing with a double-layer middle floor dividing the chassis into top and bottom chambers. Each layer has partially aligned slots, and an air gap is provided between the two layers. Embodiments also include a double-layer mesh cover with an air gap existing between the two mesh layers. Projections and grooves are provided on the inner surfaces of the inner housing to receive circuit cards having a guide on one edge and a fin on another. The circuit card includes conductor structures such as multiple board layers with paired and segregated conductors. The circuit card also includes some components positioned to cooperate with the ventilation features of the chassis and includes some components chosen for low-power consumption or reduced flammability.
Abstract:
A multi-layered printed wiring board, capable of securing required wiring density even with a decreased number of wiring layers and reducing radiation noises, has at least three wiring layers each at least having at least one power supply line or a ground line, and another kind of line, the wiring layers each having an outer edge. A ground line is formed at the outer edge of at least one of the wiring layers. A basic power supply line is formed inside the ground line. At least one power supply line extends from the basic power supply line. A plurality of electronic parts are mounted on at least one of the wiring layers. The at least one power supply line is wired to mounting positions of the electronic parts via at least one of the wiring layers.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus are disclosed for flow control over Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) data links. A method of negotiating such flow control between two PPP peers is disclosed, along with methods for operating flow control across a PPP link. In one embodiment, flow control frames carry an IEEE802.3x MAC control frame payload—the PPP implementation repackages such frames as MAC control frames and passes them to a MAC, which performs flow control. In another embodiment, flow control frames allow flow control commands to be applied differently to different service classes such that PPP flow can be controlled on a per-class basis.
Abstract:
A circuit board 3 includes a ceramic substrate 6 with an internal layer circuit 7 therein. The internal layer circuit 7 is used to electroplate a plurality of component electrodes 8, a plurality of terminal electrodes 9, and a loop electrode 10 that surrounds the component electrodes 8 on surfaces of the substrate 6 by using the internal layer circuit 7. A hole is bored in a periphery of the substrate 6 to sever the internal layer circuit 7 and isolate the component electrodes 8 from the loop electrode 10. Part of the severed internal layer circuit 7 is then used to electroplate a surface of the loop electrode 10 with a brazing material 5 to provide the circuit board 3.
Abstract:
A high-speed, high-power modular router is disclosed. As opposed to conventional designs using optical backplane signaling and/or bus bars for power distribution, the disclosed embodiments combine high-power, low-noise power distribution with high-speed signal routing in a common backplane. Disclosed backplane features allow backplane signaling at 2.5 Gbps or greater on electrical differential pairs distributed on multiple high-speed signaling layers. Relatively thick power distribution layers are embedded within the backplane, shielded from the high-speed signaling layers by digital ground layers and other shielding features. A router using such a backplane provides a level of performance and economy that is believed to be unattainable by the prior art.

Abstract:
A electronic device for shielding electromagnetic interference (EMI) including a metal shield, a printed circuit board (PCB) having a ground layer, and a number of ground pads arranged at edges of the PCB and in electrical conductivity with the ground layer. The ground pads lies close to edges of the metal shield. During solder reflowing process, solder is laid on the ground pads, and a height of the solder is adjusted to meet spaces or gaps of the shield. When the PCB is placed into the shield, the solder on the ground pads is in electrical conductivity with the metal shield to eliminate spaces or gaps thereof. So the EMI coupling which causes EMI signals interfering with sensitive components is avoided.
Abstract:
A system composes a circuit board, electronic devices mounted on a first surface of the circuit board, and an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield removably mounted to the first surface of the circuit board. The EMI shield defines a chamber to contain the electronic devices. An electrically conductive member is mounted to a second surface of the circuit board. At least an electrically conductive structure extends from the first surface to the second surface of the circuit board to electrically connect the EMI shield to the electrically conductive member.
