  • Interconnect devices, systems, and methods for bridging electronic devices
    Patent number: 9486619
    Abstract: One aspect of the present disclosure can include an interconnect system for bridging electrical contacts. The system can include a first electrical contact, a second electrical contact, and an interconnect device that is coupled to and extends between the first and second electrical contacts. The interconnect device can include a flexible bridge and a non-linear conductive transmission line. The flexible bridge can have a length and an outer surface. The non-linear conductive transmission line can extend along, and encircle at least a portion of, the length of the bridge such that the non-linear conductive transmission line electrically connects the first electrical contact with the second electrical contact.
