Abstract: A heat sink is mounted on an integrated circuit die within a Chip Scale Package, without a substrate supporting the heat sink. The heat sink may be mounted on a central portion of the active surface of the integrated circuit die without impeding wire bond connection of bond pads around peripheral region of the active surface. Alternatively, the heat sink may be mounted on the backside of one integrated circuit die within a stacked configuration of integrated circuits having facing active surfaces. The required form factor for Chip Scale Packages is maintained while providing heat dissipation for high input/output devices. The heat sink may be wire bonded to a ground connection to provide the packaged integrated circuit with shielding from electrical or electromagnetic interference.

Abstract: In an electronic control unit, a drive element liable to generate heat and a control processing element liable to be affected by heat are respectively mounted on a drive circuit board and a control circuit board different from each other, and the two boards are connected to each other by a flexible printed circuit board. The bonding portion of the flexible printed circuit board to the control circuit board is a back side portion of a connector mounted on the control circuit board at the same side as the control processing element. Therefore, heat generated by the drive element is suppressed from being transferred to the control processing element without causing layout hindrances.

Abstract: A conformal electrical sensor switch for determining the presence or absence of weight, such as a person in a bed, comprises flexible, parallel sensing strips positioned to make contact when pressure is applied. Sensing strip circuits are held apart by a separator strip until pressure is applied and thus closing a latch which provides signal output through snap connectors which are affixed to the sensing strips and which extend beyond the sealed flexible cover of the sensor switch. The flexible cover serves to secure the sensing strips and connectors in a facing relationship.

Abstract: An integral heat pipe for transferring heat away from electronic components is disclosed. The heat pipe comprises at least one electronic component mounted to a substrate. A condenser cap is fastened over the substrate to define a sealed pipe chamber around the electronic component. The top of the condenser cap facing the component is a condenser surface and is provided with a number of parallel fluted sections. Each fluted section has parallel vertical sidewalls and a semi-circular top section.

The top of the component may be provided with a number of parallel grooves exposed to the wick. The pipe chamber is filled with a two-phase working fluid. The heat generated by the electrical component causes the liquid fraction of the working fluid adjacent the component to evaporate. The vapor travels to the fluted condensing surface.

Abstract: A fluid pressure switch is shown including first and second discs each having convex-concave surface configurations on opposite sides thereof adapted to invert its configuration upon being subjected to selected pressure levels. A slidably disposed plural stage pressure converter having a flexible membrane on one side thereof is operatively coupled to the discs to transfer force from fluid pressure received by the membrane. A motion transfer member extends from the second disc to an electric switch. At a first range of pressures the first disc prevents actuation of the switch, at a second range of pressures the curvature of the first disc has inverted allowing actuation of the switch while at a third range of pressures the curvature of the second disc has inverted resulting in deacuation of the switch.
