Abstract: An electronic device package includes a carrying board, an electronic device, a first insulating layer, and a barrier layer. The carrying board includes a central area, an inner edge area, and an outer edge area. The inner edge area is located between the central area and the outer edge area. The electronic device is located in the central area. The first insulating layer is located on the carrying board and overlapped with the electronic device and extends from the central area to the inner edge area. The barrier layer is located on the carrying board. Here, the barrier layer includes a sidewall contact portion and an extending portion. The sidewall contact portion surrounds a side surface of the first insulating layer, and the extending portion extends from the sidewall contact portion to the outer edge area in a direction away from the first insulating layer.
Abstract: The present invention refers to a supply cartridge (1) comprising a package casing (11) adapted for housing a support (2) of single portions, provided as a strip-like flexible support, or similar, and presenting a plurality of single dose portions (21) of an edible substance, such as for example coffee, disposed successively along a respective longitudinal direction. In particular, the supply cartridge (1) according to the present invention comprises a package casing (11) that presents an exit open adapted so that provided a more efficient and reliable displacement of said support (2) of single portions out of said package casing (11). The present invention further refers to a system of supply cartridges comprising at least two types of supply cartridges (1, 1?), as well as to a process for preparing beverages in a machine (10) for preparing beverages of the type of the present invention.
