Abstract:
A fluid cooled light emitting diode and associated lighting unit is disclosed. A fluid, preferably a liquid, cools and stabilizes the p-n junction of the light emitting diode thereby reducing the energy required to power the light emitting diode, lengthening its usable lifetime, and outputting more consistent light. The fluid cools the lens surrounding the light emitting diode, a printed circuit board on which the light emitting diode resides, or other heat transferring elements proximate to the lens of the light emitting diode.

Abstract:
A first flexible printed wiring board (10) has a first wiring line (14) and includes a first opening (12) and second opening (13) that are positioned at a prescribed distance from each other. A portion of a second flexible printed wiring board (20) is inserted into the first opening (12) and second opening (13). The second flexible printed wiring board (20) has a second wiring line (22) on a narrow-width section (26), which is located at a tip part in an insertion direction (30) and has a smaller width than the first opening (12) and second opening (13) in a width direction (31) that is perpendicular to the insertion direction (30) towards the first flexible printed wiring board (10). The second flexible printed wiring board (20) contains a positioning section (24) that connects to the narrow-width section (26) and that has a width greater than either the first opening (12) or the second opening (13) in the width direction (31). In other words, the first wiring line (14) and the second wiring line (22) are connected when the first opening (12) or the second opening (13) is coupled to the positioning section (24) to lock the first flexible printed wiring board (10) and the second flexible printed wiring board (20) together.
Abstract:
A light circuit manufacturing process includes forming a palletized driver PCB board having a plurality of driver PCBs, forming a plurality of power PCBs on a palletized surface, forming slots in the driver PCBs, forming holes in the power PCBs, aligning both the power PCB palletization and the driver PCB palletization using reference holes such that the edges of each extend further in one direction or the other, and inserting thermal tabs into both the power PCB and the driver PCB.
Abstract:
Non-rectangular interposers for space efficient, reliable to manufacture, high speed interconnections between two printed circuit boards, such as a motherboard and a mating board. One example provides space efficiency with a non-rectangular interposer, where the interposer may be at least approximately circular. Reliable manufacturing may be provided by the inclusion of one or more openings to accept one or more alignment features. In one example, a first opening is provided to accept a threaded boss, which may be used to fasten the two printed circuit boards and interposer together. In another example, a second opening may be provided to accept an alignment pin, wherein the pin aligns the interposer to the two printed circuit boards. Contacts may be provided on each side to mate with contacts on each of the two printed circuit boards.
Abstract:
This disclosure is directed to implementing a measure of additionally including and installing a load register connected to a circuit chip in a printed circuit board so that the corresponding circuit chip may normally obtain and receive a series of operation powers by using the load register included in the printed circuit board; and a measure of additionally installing a ground terminal, a signal output terminal and a power receiving terminal to a joining portion of a printed circuit board joined to the circuit board of the electronic device, and electrically connecting both of the signal output terminal and the power receiving terminal to the load register and the circuit chip in the printed circuit board so that the corresponding load register and the circuit chip may normally obtain the operation power supplied from the electronic device by indirectly using the output signal receiving terminal and the signal output terminal.
Abstract:
A motherboard includes a square circuit board having an indention at a corner thereof. A memory module is disposed on the circuit board near the indention. A first I/O module is disposed on an edge of the circuit board near the indention. A chip module is disposed at an area of the circuit board away from the indention. The motherboard is fixed at a half portion of a chassis of a computer host. A heat dissipation unit is accommodated in the indention of the circuit board. The other half portion of the chassis accommodates a hard disk drive.
Abstract:
A patient data sensor device has an implantable patient data sensor and an implantable data transmission mechanism, which is in signal connection with the patient data sensor. The data transmission mechanism has an antenna for telemetric data transmission to an external data collection unit. In addition, the data transmission mechanism has a carrier plate for electronic components. The latter are covered on the carrier plate, at least to one side, by a cover. The antenna is configured in an edge region of the carrier plate and running around the latter and around the electronic components. The result is a patient data sensor device which is more tolerable for the patient.
