  • CIRCUIT BOARD WITH SENSOR CONTROLLED LIGHTS AND END-TO-END CONNECTION
    Publication number: 20230262860
    Abstract: Printed circuit boards with sensor controlled illumination units and end-to-end connection capabilities. For example, a lighting element, sensor/detector, and computational control element are implemented on a printed circuit board. The printed circuit board also includes end-to-end connection terminals that allow multiple printed circuit boards to be operably coupled together in an end-to-end manner. This provides a scalable system that can be modularized to a base unit for installation in various packages, orientations, or environments.
    Type: Application
