  • Mid-plane arrangement for components in a computer system
    Patent number: 7714423
    Abstract: A chip package for a computer system includes a substrate having a first region and a second region on a first surface, at least one die coupled to the first region on the first surface of the substrate and a main logic board coupled to the second region on the first surface of the substrate. By coupling the die and the main logic board on the first surface of the substrate, an overall thickness of the chip package is reduced.
    Type: Grant

  • Board connector
    Publication number: 20060046573
    Abstract: A card connector that allows a card to be at least partially coplanar with a logic board is described herein. A system having a card at least partially coplanar with a logic board is also disclosed. A card connector that allows at least one longitudinal plane through the logic board to intersect at least a point of the card is also disclosed. The card may be a memory module.
