Abstract: A method comprises: providing a layer of curable adhesive material (4) on a substrate (2); forming a pattern of microstructures (321) on the layer of curable adhesive material (4); curing a first region (42) of the layer of curable adhesive material (4) at a first level and a second region (44) of the layer of curable adhesive material (4) at a second level greater than the first level; providing a solid circuit die (6) to directly attach to a major surface of the first region (42) of the layer of curable adhesive material (4); and further curing the first region (42) of the layer of curable adhesive material (4) to anchor the solid circuit die (6) on the first region (42) by forming an adhesive bond therebetween.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an electronic device includes providing a substrate with a first major surface having a microchannel, wherein the microchannel has a first end and a second end; dispensing a conductive liquid in the microchannel to cause the conductive liquid to move, primarily by capillary pressure, in a first direction toward the first end of the microchannel and in a second direction toward the second end of the microchannel; and solidifying the conductive liquid to form an electrically conductive trace electrically connecting a first electronic device at the first end of the microchannel to a second electronic device at the second end of the microchannel.

Abstract: Trip profiles for electrical switches such as circuit breakers and overload relays can be generated, and when appropriate, coordinated, in a remote processor such as a personal computer. The profiles, with the addresses of the associated electrical switches are transferred into non-volatile memory in a portable unit. This portable unit is transported to the site of the electrical switches where it is interfaced with the appropriate electrical switch for loading of the assigned profile into the switch. In addition, the profiles stored in the electrical switches can be loaded into the portable unit for transport back to the remote unit for verification and/or modification.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a portable test device for an electronic trip unit which is electrically powered from the internal power supply of the trip unit being tested. The test unit utilizes three leads connected to the trip unit. One of the leads connects to the voltage source for the trip unit and another lead connects to the ground potential to acquire power from the test unit. The voltage is selectively adjusted within the test unit by resistors and a potentiometer to vary the input voltage which is to be carried by the third lead into the trip unit.
