Patent number: 6938331Abstract: A method for fabricating a filament-affixed trace within an electronic device, such as a circuit board or microelectronic device. Conductive traces are affixed to the surface of a composite substrate containing filaments in a matrix bonded to an underlying solid material. The matrix is then removed, leaving the conductive traces suspended or supported by filaments. The signal intensity attenuation for filament-suspended or filament-supported signal lines is much lower than signal lines embedded in solid dielectric materials, allowing for transmission of significantly higher frequency signals within filament-suspended and filament-supported signal lines.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2003Date of Patent: September 6, 2005Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: James J. deBlanc, David Dickey, Andrew Michael Cherniski

Publication number: 20040163245Abstract: A circuit board or microelectronic device in which conductive signal lines are suspended or supported by filaments in air, rather than surrounded by a solid dielectric material. Dry air has a low relative permittivity and extremely low loss tangent compared with common dielectric substrates in which signal lines are currently embedded within circuit boards and microelectronic devices. The signal intensity attenuation for filament-suspended or filament-supported signal lines is much lower than signal lines embedded in solid dielectric materials, allowing for transmission of significantly higher frequency signals within filament-suspended and filament-supported signal lines.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2003Publication date: August 26, 2004Inventors: James J. deBlanc, David Dickey, Andrew Michael Cherniski

Patent number: 6423909Abstract: A circuit board including differential bus traces on or buried within both sides of the board, interconnecting electronic devices such as disk drives, processors, and connectors for external cables. Via fields, which mimic the size and configuration of the device and cable connector fields, are located between each connector on the board. The via fields link bus traces on or within one side of the board with respective bus traces on or within the other side of the board. The via fields may include subtle, unequal undulations in the trace patterns to provide equalization in the lengths of all trace pairs. The via fields and the connector fields both include repetitive conductor order reversals in the trace connections on opposing sides of the board, to reduce crosstalk between channels. The via fields may be oriented parallel with respect to collinearly arranged devices, or orthogonal with respect to devices or connectors which are parallel.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2001Date of Patent: July 23, 2002Assignee: Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventors: Carl R.

Patent number: 6320122Abstract: An EMI device that provides a low impedance mechanism for conducting noise currents in all orientations back to the source of the noise currents in order to more effectively reduce EMI emissions is herein described. The EMI device is constructed from an elastomer core that is wrapped with a metallized electrically conductive material. The gasket is die cut and as such includes one or more open edges that are non-conductive. The non-conductive edges are stitched with a conductive material thereby enabling multiple conduction paths between any surface or edge of the gasket with a electrically conductive enclosure. In this manner, the gasket is able to provide a return path back to the source of the noise currents for all orientations of the noise currents and hence, more effectively reduce EMI emissions.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 1999Date of Patent: November 20, 2001Assignee: Hewlett Packard CompanyInventors: David Dickey, James J.
