Abstract: A multichip electronic module comprising a base for holding various components and a lid for sealing the module, is temporarily closed by a reworkable seal made from a thermoplastic material. The seal is hermetic so that the module can be tested under ambient conditions approximating actual use. If the module fails the functional test, the lid is easily removed for repair. The thermoplastic material is located in a special grove near the periphery of the base or lid next to the mating surfaces which form part of a final seal for the module. After a module has been repaired, the lid is finally soldered or welded to the base using portions of these mating surfaces which are free of the thermoplastic material. There is no need to remove the thermoplastic material used for the temporary seal.

Abstract: An EMI protected enclosure and method of manufacture thereof. The enclosure is plastic and has an electromagnetic interference shield member disposed therein to protect the electronic parts or electronic equipment from electromagnetic interference. The electromagnetic interference shield member is exposed at the edges of the enclosure and can be formed into an electrical connector or otherwise connected to provide a ground for the enclosure. In the manufacturing method, the securing and shaping of the electromagnetic interference shield member by the closure of the molding dies eliminates the need for any pre-forming of the electromagnetic interference shield member.

Abstract: A surface-compliant, removable and reusable EMI shielding cover for attenuating EMI emanation from openings in a shielding structure. An electrically conductive sheet or web is held over an opening in the shielding structure by an associated magnetic sheet, which is attracted to the metal shielding structure. The electrically conductive sheet or web, and the magnetic sheet are made of flexible material so that physical protrusions or non-planar surfaces on the shielding structure do not prevent the resulting EMI shielding cover from making complete contact around the periphery of an opening which is to be shielded. The conductive sheet and magnetic sheet can be made into a single composite EMI shield by applying an adhesive layer between the conductive sheet and the magnetic sheet.

Abstract: An electronic package with a semiconductor chip, a lead frame, a metal casing, and a redistribution interposer. The chip is mounted on the interposer and wirebonded to first ends of redistribution leads of the interposer. The redistribution leads have second ends orientated in a general flipped orientation relative to their corresponding first ends. The second ends are wirebonded to pads of the lead frame. The interposer allows smaller chips to be used in the package without changing the lead frame. The interposer also allows the chip to be flip-mounted in the package without changing the lead frame or casing, this allows redirection of the chip's thermal path.

Abstract: A method of producing a high frequency module comprises the steps of connecting leads to a circuit board, covering the circuit board with an insulating member such that the leads protrude from the insulating member, cutting off portions of the leads protruding from the insulating member having been molded, forming a metal film on the entire periphery of the insulating member, and removing the metal film around the leads to thereby form electrodes which are separate from the other portions of the metal film. The metal film is formed by evaporation, spraying or plating while the portions of the metal film around the leads are removed by chemical etching or machining. Further, the leads are connected to the circuit board on the same surface as electronic parts. The circuit board is covered with the insulating member in a rectangular parallelepiped configuration. The electrodes individually extend from the sides where the leads are present to the surface contiguous with the sides.

Abstract: A charge carrier medium (41) is successively fed to a rotating (or reciprocating) photosensitive material (40) in opposite relation thereto. Making use of a beam or linear slit scanning exposure system or a planar exposure system enabling one frame to be scanned every 1/60 sec., for instance, the exposure timing is allowed to synchronize with the movement of the photosensitive material (40) and the feed of the charge carrier medium (14) to record images successively on the medium by either voltage-applied exposure or short-circuit exposure in which the charge carrier medium is pre-charged, whereby the images can be picked up as moving images. At the same time, the photosensitive material (40) is irradiated with light from the charge-clearing light source (45) to clear it of a residual charged image. Alternatively, such leakage of charges may be achieved by bringing an electrically conductive member into contact with the photosensitive material, charging it uniformly as by d.c. or a.c.
