  • Publication number: 20180295711
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an electronic assembly and electronic assemblies are presented. The method includes obtaining a substrate film for accommodating electronics, providing at least an electrical contact pad to the substrate film, coupling an electrically conductive member to the electrical contact pad, and molding, such as injection molding, a material layer onto the substrate film to embed the elastic electrically conductive member utilizing a mold structure defining a cavity for molding. The elastic electrically conductive member is arranged to extend during the molding from the electrical contact pad through the cavity to be in contact with an element on a different side of the cavity with respect to the electrical contact pad for maintaining at least a part of the elastic electrically conductive member accessible after the molding to provide an electrical connection through the material layer to the electrical contact pad.

  • Publication number: 20180110126
    Abstract: Method for manufacturing an electromechanical structure, comprising: producing conductors and/or graphics on a substantially flat film 106, attaching electronic elements on the said film 108 in relation to the desired three-dimensional shape of the film, forming the said film housing the electronic elements into a substantially three-dimensional shape 110, using the substantially three-dimensional film as an insert in an injection molding process by molding substantially on said film 112, wherein a preferred layer of material is attached on the surface of the film, creating an electromechanical structure. A corresponding arrangement for carrying out said method is also presented.

  • Patent number: 7146686
    Abstract: The invention relates to a case structure for a sensor structure attachable to and detachable from a shoe, the case structure comprising a case and an attachment arrangement for attaching the case to the shoe, the attachment arrangement comprising an attachment projection structure intended to attach the case to the shoe such that shoelaces remain between a bottom comprised by the case and the attachment projection structure below the bottom. The essential feature in the invention is that the attachment projection structure is a branched projection structure comprising a first projection branch and a second projection branch, and, between the projection branches, an intermediate area intended to enable the placing of the case structure in position even if the shoelaces were arranged to support a tongue of the shoe.
