  • Publication number: 20230171911
    Abstract: The electronic module has a three-dimensional frame, a printed circuit board and a plurality of electronic devices. The printed circuit board is fixed to the three-dimensional frame and has a plurality of support portions which extend transversely to each other in space. The electronic devices are fixed to the printed circuit board and are operatively coupled to each other. The electronic devices are arranged on at least one support portion of the printed circuit board.

  • Publication number: 20220099957
    Abstract: An electronic module includes a first die of semiconductor material including a first reflector, a second die of semiconductor material including a second reflector, and a frame including a first supporting portion and a second supporting portion parallel to one another. The first and second dies are carried, respectively, by the first and second supporting portions and are respectively arranged so that the first reflector faces the second supporting portion and the second reflector faces the first supporting portion. An incoming light beam impinges upon the first reflector and is reflected on the second reflector so as to be supplied at output from the electronic module.

  • Patent number: 9180451
    Abstract: A fluidic cartridge for detecting chemicals, formed by a casing, hermetically housing an integrated device having a plurality of detecting regions to bind with target chemicals; part of a supporting element, bearing the integrated device; a reaction chamber, facing the detecting regions; a sample feeding hole and a washing feeding hole, self-sealingly closed; fluidic paths, which connect the sample feeding and washing feeding holes to the reaction chamber; and a waste reservoir, which may be fluidically connected to the reaction chamber by valve elements that may be controlled from outside. The integrated device is moreover connected to an interface unit carried by the supporting element, electrically connected to the integrated device and including at least one signal processing stage and external contact regions.

  • Patent number: 8499613
    Abstract: A cartridge-like chemical sensor is formed by a housing having a base and a cover fixed to the base and provided with an input opening, an output hole and a channel for a gas to be analyzed. The channel extends in the cover between the input opening and the output hole and faces a printed circuit board carrying an integrated circuit having a sensitive region open toward the channel and of a material capable to bind with target chemicals in the gas to be analyzed. A fan is arranged in the housing, downstream of the integrated device, for sucking the gas after being analyzed, and is part of a thermal control system for the integrated circuit.
