Abstract:
An apparatus is provided with a component configured with an interface comprising a resilient material. In a first state, the component is mechanically and/or electrically attached to a substrate. Exposure of the interface to the temperature that meets or exceeds the transition temperature of interface causes the resilient material to undergo a state change. The state change of the interface alters the position of the component, including separation of the component from the substrate. The separation disrupts the attachment thereby mitigating damage to the substrate and/or component.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention relates to a method and apparatus for rework of a BGA package. Memory shape material is placed adjacent to a plurality of solder joints of the package. Stimulation is applied to the material, with the stimulation causing the material to change from a non-stimulated shape to a stimulated shape. This stimulation causes an expansion of the material. As the material expands, it exerts a tensile force on the BGA package and an adjacently positioned carrier, causing a separation of the two components, while mitigating collateral heat of adjacently positioned components.

Abstract:
A circuit protection element and a circuit board with the circuit protection element are disclosed. The circuit protection element includes a metal base, and at least one opening slot located at the metal base. The metal base forms a positioning portion. One end of the metal base is fastened onto a circuit board. The bottom of the free end of the metal base contacts a conducting point located on the circuit board to make the circuit be in a conducting status. When the current is overloaded or the circuit is over-heated, the bottom of the free end of the metal base is heated so that the bottom of the free end of the metal base separates from the conducting point and the positioning portion is wedged with the circuit board. Thereby, the circuit becomes a broken circuit. The circuit protection element can prevent the electronic components from being burnt down.
Abstract:
To improve the resistance of a solder to strains, especial thermal strains, superelastic particles are incorporated into the solder in a proportion by volume of 10 to 30% approximately. So that this incorporation can be done, the particles are coated with a metal, for example copper, that is wettable by the solder.
Abstract:
A system and a method of providing electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) protection. A removable component is inserted into an end product. The removable component includes a retractable EMC protection apparatus. In response to the insertion of the removable component a shape memory alloy on the EMC protection apparatus is heated to a temperature above the activation temperature of the shape memory alloy. The shape memory alloy then changes from a first shape to a second shape in response to the heating. In response to the change in the shape of the shape memory alloy an EMC protection component of the EMC protection apparatus is inserted into an enclosure opening of the removable component.

Abstract:
The description is of a flat substrate with an electrically conductive structure integrated inside the flat substrate or applied to a surface of the flat substrate and/or with a technically improved surface.The invention is characterised in that at least one sensor is integrated inside the flat substrate or applied to a surface of the flat substrate, which generates sensor signals according to deformations occurring inside the flat substrate, at least one actuator is integrated inside the flat substrate or applied to the surface of the flat substrate, which enables the flat substrate to mechanically deform when activated, and a signal unit connected to the at least one sensor and to the at least one actuator is provided, which, on the basis of the sensor signals, generates actuator signals for activating the actuator, so that deformations occurring inside the flat substrate are reduced.
