Abstract:
A switch assembly, which is part of a chain of switch assemblies, includes a communication unit (CU) configured to receive, from an external controller, a fire command to activate a detonator, a voltage measuring unit configured to locally measure a voltage (V) at the switch assembly after receiving the fire command to activate the detonator, a computing core (CC) configured to locally make a decision whether or not to activate the detonator, after receiving the fire command to activate the detonator and after measuring the voltage (V), based on whether or not the measured voltage (V) at the switch assembly is larger than a threshold value.
Abstract:
A first terminal provided on a tail pad portion includes a base portion, a bent portion and an overlapping portion. The base portion includes a first surface fixed to a base insulating layer and a second surface on an opposite side to the first sur face. The bent portion is reversed in a thickness direction of the base portion from an end of the base portion towards the second surface. The overlapping portion extends from the bent portion in a direction along the second surface. An ansotropic conductive film (ACE) is disposed between the overlapping portion and the second terminal. The overlapping portion and the second terminal are connected to each other via the ACE.

Abstract:
Provided is a master printed circuit board (PCB). The master PCB includes panels defined by grooves cut in the master PCB, the grooves separating one panel from another. A final PCB is formable via use of one or more jumpers, wherein the jumpers are configured to extend across at least one of the grooves to electrically connect one panel to another panel. The electrically connected panels form the final PCB.
Abstract:
An electronic device is protected from unauthorized access by use of a security wrap having a security screen connected to an alarm circuit of the electronic device. The security screen has a pair of screen terminals interconnected by a conductor. The conductor is formed on a substrate. The substrate is arranged such that attempts to remove the security wrap will result in the substrate being torn and the conductor being damaged or broken whereby the resistance of the conductive path formed by the conductor changes to indicate an alarm condition.

An optical module includes: a first circuit board including a first signal terminal part and a first ground terminal part formed on a front surface; and a second circuit board including a second signal terminal part and a second ground terminal part formed on a back surface. The first circuit board further includes: a first dielectric layer; a first signal wire formed on a front surface of the first dielectric layer; a first ground conductor layer formed on a back surface of the first dielectric layer; and a first through ground conductor passing through the first dielectric layer. The first ground terminal part is formed, in a first region and a second region respectively located on both sides of the first signal terminal part in a first direction, and in a third region prescribed at a location beyond the first signal terminal part in a second direction.
Abstract:
A flexible printed circuit (FPC) may have reduced-tolerance electrical connection pads that comprise a connection portion and an adjacent window portion, where the position of a component that is mechanically and electrically connected to the FPC is limited by the geometry of the connection portion of the respective connection pads. The window portion includes an area void of conductive material and bounded by the connection portion on one side and may be bounded by peripheral portions on the other sides, where the peripheral portions are significantly narrower than the connection portion. A portion of the peripheral portions extending from the connection portion may be tucked under a portion of the FPC cover layer to prevent peeling of the peripheral portions.

A printed wiring board (1) includes: a base substrate (3); a plurality of pads (15a, 17a) for electrical connection that are disposed at one surface side of the base substrate (3) and at a connection end portion (13) to be connected with another electronic component (50); wirings (9, 11) that are connected with the pads (15a, 17a); and engageable parts (28, 29) that are formed at side edge parts of the connection end portion (13) and are to be engaged with engagement parts (58) of the other electronic component (50) in the direction of disconnection. The flexible printed wiring board (1) further includes reinforcement layers (31, 32) that are disposed at the other surface side of the base substrate (3) and at a frontward side with respect to the engageable parts (28, 29) when viewed in the direction of connection with the other electronic component, and that are formed integrally with the wirings (9).
Abstract:
A signal transmission cable as a signal transmission component includes a laminate including a first thin portion on one of the opposite ends in a first direction and a second thin portion on the other end in the first direction. A portion between the first thin portion and the second thin portion in the laminate is a main line portion. The thickness of the first and second thin portions is thinner than the thickness of the main line portion. The surface on one end in the thickness direction of the laminate defined by the main line portion and the first and second thin portions is a continuous flat surface. A connector for external connection is arranged on the surfaces of the first and second thin portions, on the sides in which each of the thin portions and the main line portion have a difference in level.
