  • Apparatus and methods for aligning devices for LIDAR systems
    Patent number: 11867812
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for aligning circuit boards (e.g., for LIDAR systems) are disclosed. According to one embodiment, an electronic device comprises a secondary device and a coupling device coupled to the secondary device. The coupling device comprises a plurality of conductive members, including a first conductive member and a second conductive member. Each of the conductive members comprises a first end configured to electrically and mechanically couple to a primary circuit board and a second end electrically and mechanically coupled to the secondary device. Each of the plurality of conductive members has an attribute adjustable in response to a condition being added to the respective conductive member, and is configured to maintain the adjusted attribute after the condition is removed.
    Type: Grant

The coupling device comprises a plurality of conductive members, including a first conductive member and a second conductive member. Each of the conductive members comprises a first end configured to electrically and mechanically couple to a primary circuit board and a second end electrically and mechanically coupled to the secondary device. The second end of the first conductive member is coupled to a first side of the secondary device, and the second end of the second conductive member is coupled to a second side of the secondary device. The second side of the secondary device is opposite to the first side of the secondary device.
