Abstract: Description of a method and equipment for panel (900) treatment in the manufacture of printed circuit boards that includes the following phases: setting up a panel (900) with a first side (905), a second side (910) opposite the first side, and at least one through hole (915) in the thickness of the panel; positioning the opening (205) for an intake system (200) in contact with the first side (905) of the panel (900) so this opening (205) delimits a portion on the first side (905) containing the through hole (915); creating negative pressure within the intake system (200) and simultaneously exposing at least one portion on the second side (910) of this panel (900) to a flow of plasma, whereby this portion on the second side (910) contains the through hole (915).

Abstract: A system is described for obtaining the electrical interconnection between an intrinsically extensible conductor (120) and a not intrinsically extensible one (110), or between two intrinsically extensible conductors. The system is particularly applied in the production of devices implantable in the human or animal body, highly conformable and deformable, for neurostimulation and/or neurorecording.

Abstract: A method is described for the production of a manufactured article (20) constituted of an elastomeric polymer substrate, in selected zones of which there are deposits of particles of nanometric size of a metal or some other compound which create a region (24) of the polymeric element having desired electrical, biocompatibility and/or dielectric properties, and such that said properties are maintained even after numerous elastic deformations of the manufactured article; the invention also relates to functionalized elastomeric manufactured articles obtained by means of said method.

Abstract: It is described a method for the production of a fully or partially reflective stretchable and deformable optical element, comprising the implantation in at least one surface of an elastomeric support, by a technique of “Cluster Beam Implantation”, of neutral nanoclusters of a material selected among one or more metals, their alloys, their oxides or mixtures thereof, thus obtaining in said support a nanocomposite layer, possibly emerging at the surface of said element, and said implantation taking place by: uniformly implanting said nanoclusters in a surface of said elastomeric support, wherein said surface has a molded profile essentially corresponding to the profile of the optical element to be produced; or selectively implanting said nanoclusters in a flat surface of said elastomeric support; or uniformly implanting a first layer of said nanoclusters in a surface of said elastomeric support, and then selectively implanting a second layer of said nanoclusters onto the first nanoclusters layer thus obtain
