Abstract:
A micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) inertial measurement system facilitates accurate location and/or attitude measurements via passive thermal management of MEMS inertial sensors. Accuracy of the system is also improved by subjecting the inertial sensors to programmed single-axis gimbal motion, and by performing coarse and fine adjustments to the attitude estimates obtained by the system based on the programmed motion and on the passive thermal management of the sensors.
Abstract:
An arrangement for cooling subassemblies of an automation or control system is disclosed, wherein the subassemblies each comprise at least one printed circuit board (LP) having electronic components of different temperature sensitivity arranged thereon. The printed circuit board (LP) has at least one first portion for temperature-sensitive components and at least one second portion for temperature-insensitive components that generate waste heat. Interspaces are arranged between the first portion and the second portion, the interspaces each forming a thermally insulated trench. Means can be provided which keep away the heat over the temperature-sensitive components in a suitable manner and dissipate the waste heat from the printed circuit board (LP) before the heat reaches the temperature-sensitive components.
Abstract:
A method for partial detachment of a defined area of a conductive layer using a laser beam includes forming a conductor track with a defined path from the conductive layer on the substrate, the path defining main axes. The area is segmented into zones. A linear recess is provided along a respective perimeter of each of the zones. Each of the zones has a strip shape such that the recesses extend along paths that are substantially straight lines not parallel to either of the main axes. One of the zones to be removed is heated using laser radiation until adhesion of the conductive layer to the substrate is substantially reduced and the zone to be removed is detached in a surface-wide manner from the substrate under external influences. Laser-beam parameters are set such that only the conductive layer is removed without affecting an underlying substrate.

A system contains a temperature sensitive device and a printed circuit board. The temperature sensitive device is coupled to the printed circuit board. An aperture is cut out of the printed circuit board between the temperature sensitive device and a heat generating device to act as an insulator for the temperature sensitive device.

A wiring board comprises a first pad which is provided on a first surface side of a substrate and on which a first electronic component is to be mounted, and a second pad which is provided on the first surface side of the substrate and on which a second electronic component having a larger amount of heat generation in an operation than that of the first electronic component is to be mounted, a first through electrode which penetrates the substrate and has one of ends connected electrically to the first pad, a second through electrode which penetrates the substrate and has one of ends connected electrically to the second pad, a through trench penetrating the substrate in a portion positioned between a first mounting region for the first electronic component and a second mounting region for the second electronic component, and a heat intercepting member provided in the through trench.
Abstract:
An opening is formed in resin 20 by a laser beam so that a via hole is formed. At this time, copper foil 22, the thickness of which is reduced (to 3 μm) by performing etching to lower the thermal conductivity is used as a conformal mask. Therefore, an opening 20a can be formed in the resin 20 if the number of irradiation of pulse-shape laser beam is reduced. Therefore, occurrence of undercut of the resin 20 which forms an interlayer insulating resin layer can be prevented. Thus, the reliability of the connection of the via holes can be improved.
Abstract:
Conductive lines are deposited on a substrate to produce traces for conducting electricity between electronic components. A patterned metal layer is formed on the substrate, and then a layer of material having a low thermal conductivity is coated over the patterned metal layer and the substrate. Vias are formed through the layer of material having the low thermal conductivity thereby exposing portions of the patterned metal layer. A film of conductive ink is then coated over the layer of material having the low thermal conductivity and into the vias to thereby coat the portions of the patterned metal layer, and then sintered. The film of conductive ink coated over the portion of the patterned metal layer does not absorb as much energy from the sintering as the film of conductive ink coated over the layer of material having the low thermal conductivity. The layer of material having the low thermal conductivity may be a polymer, such as polyimide.
Abstract:
A circuit board is provided with a plurality of MOSFETs (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors) each of which include a field effect transistor and an associated control circuit. The control circuits are mounted in a control section of the board remote from a power section mounting the MOSFETs. The present invention reduces the assembly steps required in the prior art wherein the MOSFET and its control circuit were mounted as preassembled units to the board. Moreover, the number of MOSFETs per unit area of board is increased by the present invention.
