Abstract: An imaging sensor package including: an imaging sensor; and a patterned substrate coupled to a surface of the imaging sensor. The imaging sensor and the patterned substrate being curved. The patterned substrate having a petal-shaped patterned area having a first thickness and a base substrate having a second thickness, the first thickness being greater than the second thickness.

Abstract: A reconfigurable structure includes one or more linkage assemblies that are each formed by one or more linkage chains of a plurality of linkages. Neighboring pairs of linkages of each linkage chain are rotatably coupled to each other via a first pin-in-slot joint and a second pin-in-slot joint. The reconfigurable structure includes a material layer mounted to the plurality of linkages of each linkage assembly. The material layer maintains a constant length across a range of motion of each linkage assembly, thereby reducing or eliminating in-plane strain of the material layer across the range of motion. In an example, the reconfigurable structure can provide a first configuration corresponding to an annular tube shape for a fluid vessel, conduit, or other suitable structure, and a second configuration corresponding to a flattened shape. The flattened shape of the second configuration can be used for storage and transport of the reconfigurable structure.
