  • Publication number: 20190139947
    Abstract: An encapsulation cover for an electronic package includes a cover body having a frontal wall provided with at least one optical element allowing light to pass through. The optical element is inserted into the encapsulation cover by overmolding into a through-passage of the frontal wall. A front face of the optical element is set back with respect to a front face of the frontal wall. The process for fabricating the encapsulation cover includes forming a stack of a sacrificial spacer on top of an optical element, with the stack placed into a cavity of a mold.

  • Publication number: 20180058920
    Abstract: A microchip has a rear face attached to a front mounting face of a support plate. An encapsulation cover for the microchip is mounted to the support plate. The encapsulation cover includes a front wall, a peripheral wall extending from the front wall and an inside partition extending from the front wall and between opposite sides of the peripheral wall. The inside partition passes locally above the microchip to delimit two cavities. A bonding material is interposed between encapsulation cover and the support plate and microchip. An end part of the inside partition of the cover, adjacent to the front face of the microchip, include an accumulation and containment recess that is configured to at least partly receive the bonding material.

  • Patent number: 9420685
    Abstract: A substrate board includes an electrical connection network on a face thereof. An integrated-circuit chip is mounted to the face of the substrate board in electrical contact with the electrical connection network. A local reinforcing or balancing layer made of a non-metallic material is mounted to the face of the substrate board in at least one local zone free of the face which is free of metal portions of the electrical connection network.

  • Patent number: 9275977
    Abstract: An electronic system includes a first electronic device (with a first integrated-circuit chip) and a second electronic device (with a second integrated-circuit chip). The second electronic device is stacked above the first electronic device on a same side as the first integrated-circuit chip. Electrical connection elements located around the first integrated-circuit chip electrically connected to the second electronic device to the first electronic device. A metal plate configured for heat capture and transfer extends between the first and second electronic devices. The metal plate includes through-passages aligned to permit the electrical connection elements to pass at a distance.

  • Patent number: 9101077
    Abstract: An electronic component package includes a support and heat conductor. The heat conductor has a protuberance and the support has a socket arranged to be able to receive the protuberance so that the movement of heat conductor relative to the support during the assembly process is reduced.

  • Patent number: 6308749
    Abstract: Sterile products contained in a container (10) are transferred into a sterile isolator (12) by connecting the container onto a lock (28) fitted on the outside of the isolator (12) and equipped with a pulsed light sterilization device (28). The connection between the lock (28) and the isolator (12) is made by a sealed double door transfer device. The throwaway container is equipped with a plug type closer (16), cutout from the inside of the isolator (12) after sterilizing the volume (40) inside the lock (28) and opening the double door (24, 38).

  • Patent number: 6307206
    Abstract: A tight transfer device (10) between two sterile volumes (12, 14), of the double door or port type (22, 26), is equipped with a decontamination system (44) using ultraviolet, pulsed ultraviolet or pulsed light radiation, of the facing points of the gaskets (30, 36) ensuring the necessary sealing action. This decontamination system (44) is integrated into one (20) of the flanges of the transfer device. It comprises a collar (46) made from a material able to diffuse radiation, as well as optical fibers (48), whereof one end is mounted on said collar. The other end of the optical fibers (48) is connected to a radiation source. When the source is used, the radiation, routed by fibers (48) over the entire periphery of the collar (46), diffuse into the same towards the points of the gaskets (30, 36) to be decontaminated.
