  • Patent number: 8088646
    Abstract: Check valve package for pb-free, single piece electronic modules, the package having an exterior and an interior, and at least one electronic device mounted within the interior of the package electrically connected to a lead-free solder ball grid array on a surface of the package, the package having a check valve between the interior and exterior of the package configured to allow flow from the interior to the exterior and to prevent flow form the exterior to the interior. The package withstands the solder reflow temperatures for the reflow of the pb-free solder balls of a ball grid array packaging of an NVSRAM during mounting on a circuit board. The package is suitable for packaging circuits containing rechargeable batteries and for packaging other electronic devices.

  • Patent number: 6020634
    Abstract: The replaceable power module includes a power section positioned between a cover and a frame. The cover is provided with clips to permit the attachment and detachment of the cover to the base as well the attachment and detachment of the power module to a surface mounted integrated circuit. The frame is provided with an opening for receiving the integrated circuit, and electrical contacts for electrically connecting the power module to the leads of an integrated circuit. The power section is electrically coupled to the frame and includes a battery and a crystal oscillator for controlling the integrated circuit.

  • Patent number: 5579206
    Abstract: A socket system that comprises a printed circuit board; an electrical module; and a socket having a hollow core. The socket holds the electrical module and is capable of electrically coupling the electrical module to the printed circuit board. The electrical module has at least one electrical lead. The socket has at least one electrical lead capable of electrically coupling with the electrical lead(s) of the electrical module. The electrical module comprises a second printed circuit board having a first and second surface; a lithium battery positioned on the first surface of the second printed circuit board and electrically coupled with the second printed circuit board, a crystal positioned on the first surface of the second printed circuit board and electrically coupled with the second printed circuit board, and an integrated circuit positioned on the second surface of the second printed circuit board. A cap extends around and encloses and seals electrical elements of the electrical module.
