Patent number: 11970795Abstract: Methods of manufacturing multi-material fibers having one or more electrically-connectable devices disposed therein are described. In certain instances, the methods include the steps of: positioning the electrically-connectable device(s) within a corresponding pocket provided in a preform material; positioning a first electrical conductor longitudinally within a first conduit provided in the preform material; and drawing the multi-material fiber by causing the preform material to flow, such that the first electrical conductor extends within the multi-material fiber along a longitudinal axis thereof and makes an electrical contact with a first electrode located on each electrically-connectable device. A metallurgical bond may be formed between the first electrical conductor and the first electrode while drawing the multi-material fiber and/or, after drawing the multi-material fiber, the first electrical conductor may be located substantially along a neutral axis of the multi-material fiber.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Advanced Functional Fabrics of America, Inc.Inventors: Chia-Chun Chung, Jason Cox, Joshua Deisenhaus, Kristina McCarthy, Kristen Mulherin, Jimmy Nguyen, Michael Rein

Patent number: 10586688Abstract: A first inductive loop is formed within a printed circuit board (PCB). The PCB is mounted in a fixed spatial relationship with a radiofrequency power supply structure. A second inductive loop is formed within the PCB. The second inductive loop is positioned in fixed spatial relationship with the first inductive loop such that a distance between the centerpoints of the first and second inductive loops has a fixed value and is precisely known. Each of the first and second inductive loops is formed in an essentially identical manner with regard to number of complete turns of the loops and a size of the loops.
