  • Publication number: 20230422388
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for circuit board structures for component protection are described. A memory system may be implemented on a circuit board, where one or more memory devices may be attached to the circuit board. Components for accessing the one or more memory devices may also be attached to the circuit board. The circuit board may also include one or more structures extending from the circuit board that are configured to shield the one or more memory devices, the components for accessing the one or more memory devices, or both, from forces.

  • Patent number: 8709878
    Abstract: A method of packaging imager devices and optics modules is disclosed which includes positioning an imager device and an optics module in each of a plurality of openings in a carrier body, introducing an encapsulant material into each of the openings in the carrier body and cutting the carrier body to singulate the plurality of imager devices and optics modules into individual units, each of which comprise an imager device and an optics module. A device is also disclosed which includes an imager device comprising a plurality of photosensitive elements and an optics module coupled to the imager device, the optics module comprising at least one lens that, when the optics module is coupled to the imager device, is positioned a fixed, non-adjustable distance from the plurality of photosensitive elements.
