  • Patent number: 10225932
    Abstract: Interface arrangement comprising an electrical node type component for providing electrical or electromagnetic connection between an external system and a host structure of the interface arrangement. The interface arrangement comprising a first substrate film defining a cavity. A first material layer arranged to at least partly fill the cavity and to embed or at least partly cover at least one electrical element at least partly arranged into the cavity. The at least one electrical element comprises at least a converter element configured for adapting signals to be transferred between the external system and electronics of the host structure. A first connection element arranged at least partly into the cavity and configured for connecting to the external system. The first connection element is further at least functionally connected to the converter element. Related multilayer structures and methods of manufacture are presented.
