  • Patent number: 11772867
    Abstract: A method of forming packaging accommodates one or more products and packaging produced by the method. The method includes providing a planar packaging blank of foldable material and assembling it into packaging capable of accommodating at least one product. A flexible electronics module on the packaging blank has at least one temperature measurement device and a temperature display to measure and display the temperature of at least one of the products. The positioning of the flexible electronics module with respect to the packaging permits both to be folded together to form the assembled packaging. The packaging is foldable from a first unassembled state to a second assembled state to accommodate at least one product, and the electronics module is at least partly flexible to enable it to be folded with the packaging. The packaging may hold six beverage containers and might be considered to be a “six pack.

  • Publication number: 20180035548
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method in which a layer compound having a substrate having an adhesive layer applied thereon at least in regions is provided. An opening extending through the substrate and through the adhesive layer is introduced therein in order to obtain a patterned layer compound. A microchip having an active region arranged on the outside of the chip is provided, wherein the active region is a sensor area or a radiation coupling-out area. In addition, in accordance with the invention, the microchip is arranged on the adhesive layer of the patterned layer compound such that the active region is exposed through the opening.

  • Patent number: 8198135
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing integrated circuits which are mechanically flexible and can be provided contiguously on a common flexible carrier substrate. The method includes a step of continuously providing a first flexible substrate which has conductor-line patterns, and a step of mounting the integrated circuits on the first flexible substrate and connecting the integrated circuits to the conductor-line patterns of the first flexible substrate, and a step of covering the circuits mounted on the first flexible substrate with a second flexible substrate, recesses being provided in the first or second flexible substrates in order to make the conductor-line patterns of the first flexible substrate accessible.
