  • Patent number: 11939002
    Abstract: A structural assembly includes a frame and a plurality of panels. The frame includes a wall that at least partially defines an interior region. The plurality of panels is disposed at least partially in the interior region and is coupled to the frame. The plurality of panels includes a first panel and a second panel. The first panel includes a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The first surface defines a first plurality of depressions and the second surface defines a first plurality of protrusions complementary to the first plurality of depressions. The second panel includes a third surface and a fourth surface opposite the third surface. The third surface defines a second plurality of depressions. The fourth surface defines a second plurality of protrusions complementary to the first plurality of depressions. The first panel is coupled to the second panel.

  • Patent number: 7638419
    Abstract: Various embodiments include a method of forming an interconnect comprising forming at least two vias in a substrate, forming a conductive pad on a surface of the substrate, forming at least one tapered conductive segment on the surface of the substrate coupled to the conductive pad, wherein only a first via of the at least two vias is formed substantially beneath the conductive pad and is coupled to the conductive pad, a second via of the at least two vias is coupled to the conductive pad by a first one of the at least one tapered conductive segments, the first one of the tapered conductive segments having a first end having a first width and a second end having a second width, the first end being connected to the second via and the second end being connected to the conductive pad, the first width being less than the second width.

  • Patent number: 7375432
    Abstract: An interconnect includes a pad and at least two vias coupled to the pad. In one embodiment, the pad has five substantially straight edges, one via directly coupled to the pad by being formed substantially beneath the pad, and one via coupled to one of the five substantially straight edges by a tapered conductive segment. In another embodiment, the pad has three vias directly coupled to the pad and formed substantially beneath the pad. A method of forming an interconnect includes forming at least two vias in a substrate and coupling a pad to each of the at least two vias.
