Abstract: A cartridge for use in charge transfer imaging comprising a flexible dielectric substrate carrying sets of driver electrodes and finger electrodes, the electrodes being separated by a dielectric layer. The respective electrodes extend in different directions to form a charge generating matrix in a first central portion generally corresponding to the extent of the dielectric layer. Each of the electrodes has individual contacts which extend to the sides of the dielectric layer. The flexible substrate is deformable from its natural planar form to a U-shape, the charge generating matrix and the dielectric layer being located on a first central portion of the substrate, and the contacts of the electrodes being located on second and third side portions of the substrate. A method of manufacturing the cartridge is also disclosed.

Abstract: An adaptor (14) for adding electronic components to a computer has been disclosed. The adaptor (14) includes a flexible printed circuit strip (34) having holes (38) in a first end section (36) for receiving a PGA package (16) and conductive pads (66) at a second end section (46) arranged in a predetermined pattern and conductive traces connected to and extending between the holes (38) and pads (66). The adaptor further includes a preform (80) having castellations (84) on each edge. The second end section (46) is wrapped around the preform (80) so that the conductive pads (66) are in registration with the castellations (84).
