Abstract:
A method for fabricating a multi-piece board includes: preparing a board main portion having a first coupling member and multiple piece portions connected to the first coupling member, the first coupling member forming a part of a coupling member of a multi-piece board, each of the piece portions having a printed wiring board; preparing a second coupling member which forms the coupling member together with the first coupling member; and adhering the second coupling member to the first coupling member of the board main portion, thereby yielding the multi-piece board.

The present disclosure is directed to conductive connector attachments for use in electrically connecting printed circuit boards to absorbent products such as diapers, training pants, incontinence products, feminine hygiene products, and the like. Specifically, various configurations and methods of securely attaching conventional conductive hook and loop attachments to printed circuit boards are disclosed.
Abstract:
An article includes a plurality of stems projecting from a surface thereof. Each stem includes a hollow stalk projecting orthogonally from the surface and a hollow head defined on a distal end of the hollow stalk. The head includes a flange section extending from the distal end of the hollow stalk and having an outer diameter greater than an outer diameter of the hollow stalk at the distal end. A cap section extends from the flange section, defines a distal end of the stem and has a generally convex contour. The cap section has a first wall thickness at the distal end of the stem, a second wall thickness at a junction of the cap section and the flange section and a third wall thickness at a circumferential section intermediate the distal end and the flange section. The third wall thickness is less than the first and second wall thicknesses.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for connecting at least two printed circuit board modules to form a printed circuit board panel by means of a virtual panel. The method for connecting printed circuit board modules uses positioning tags and counterparts thereof, which align the printed circuit board modules to a target location on the printed circuit board panel.

Abstract:
A submount for arranging electronic components on a substrate is provided. The submount comprises a head member and at least one substrate-engaging member protruding from the head member. The head member comprises at least two, from each other isolated, electrically conductive portions, where each electrically conductive portion comprises a component contact, adapted for connection of electronic components thereto, and a substrate contact on arranged on said substrate side, adapted for bringing said electrically conductive portions in contact with a circuitry comprised in said substrate. The submount of the present invention may be used to attach electronic components, such as light-emitting diodes, to a textile substrate, without the need for soldering the electronic component directly on the substrate.
Abstract:
An electrical connection structure allowing reduction in height and easy disassembly, wherein a first connecting member comprises a flexible substrate comprising a flexible insulating film, at least one conductive pad formed on at least one side thereof, a conductive circuit pattern extending from the rim of the pad, a through-hole formed through the thickness thereof at a planar position within the pad, and a small aperture formed at a planar position within the pad and communicating with the through-hole, and a second connecting member comprises a conductive projection formed at least one side thereof and electrically connected with a conductive circuit pattern formed inside or on the second connecting member, where the electrical connection is formed in the manner such that the conductive projection of the second connecting member is inserted in the through-hole of the first connecting member, through the small aperture in the pad, bending the pad and the portion of the insulating film under the pad, along the direction of insertion of the conductive projection, so that the pad is pressed onto the conductive projection due to elastic force of the pad and the insulating film bent.
Abstract:
A multilayer circuit board assembly includes one or more radio frequency (RF) interconnects between different circuit layers on different circuit boards which make up the circuit board assembly. The RF interconnects can include one or more RF matching pads which provide a mechanism for matching impedance characteristics of RF stubs to provide the RF interconnects having desired insertion loss and impedance characteristics over a desired RF operating frequency band. The RF matching pads allow the manufacture of circuit boards having RF interconnects without the need to perform any back drill and back fill operation to remove stub portions of the RF interconnects in the multilayer circuit board assembly.

Abstract:
An elongated electrical cable or flexible circuit board includes an electrically conductive path and an insulating body encompassing and electrically isolating the conductive path, the insulating body including an exposed surface having an array of fastener elements extending therefrom, the fastener elements arranged and constructed to engage mating fastener elements associated with a supporting surface to selectively secure the cable or flexible circuit board to the supporting surface. The fastener elements can be loop-engageable fasteners and/or loops. Such a cable or flexible circuit board is continuously formed by introducing an electrical insulating material including a thermoplastic resin into a gap formed adjacent a peripheral surface of a rotating mold roll, the mold roll defining an array of cavities therein, the insulating material being introduced under pressure and temperature conditions selected to cause the insulating material to at least partially fill the cavities to form fastener element stems integrally with and extending from one broad side of a strip of said insulation material; while introducing conductive wires and/or a conductive path formed on or within a substrate to the gap so as to cause the insulating material to envelop and electrically isolate the conductive path and/or to cause the conductive path to become an integral part of the strip of insulation material from which the fastener element stems extend.
