Abstract: This present disclosure increases the interconnect density by using a different technology approach than the industry is currently using (stamping and molding). By using a MEMS-based technology approach, better geometry and impedance control can be carried out to reduce impedance discontinuities and feature size. Additional concepts include low connector insertion force, no contact wiping, and a precise alignment mechanism between the connector contacts and those on the mating substrate.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods for fabricating passive identification tags are provided. A method for fabricating a passive identification tag can include: determining a pattern for a resonant structure of a resonance layer of the passive identification tag, and/or determining a pattern for a dielectric structure of a characteristic layer to be disposed on the resonance layer. The method can further include: generating, based on the pattern for the resonant structure, the resonant structure on a substrate to form the resonance layer. The resonant structure generated by the method can respond to an incoming detection signal by transmitting or reflecting a tag response. The method can further include: generating, based on the pattern for the dielectric structure, the dielectric structure on the resonance layer to form the characteristic layer. The dielectric structure can modify the tag response, so that a modified tag response is transmitted or reflected to a receiver.

Abstract: An interconnection system includes a mating substrate that is configured to be placed in electrical communication with a main board along an insertion direction so as to define a separable interface.

Abstract: Example embodiments for identifying and displaying configuration item information are presented herein. A system may involve a proxy server application disposed within a managed network that includes configuration items and a server disposed within a remote network management platform managing the managed network. The server may receive a request to view information representative of a particular configuration item from a client device. Based on the request, the server may obtain the information and transmit a representation of a graphical user interface to the client device. The representation may include a health graphic, a relationship graphic, a timeline graphic, and an activity stream, each of which represent pertinent information about the particular configuration item. The representation may also include a tabbed interface that facilitates navigation between attributes corresponding to the particular configuration item and attributes corresponding to other configuration items in the managed network.
