Abstract: A method of producing a non-planar conforming circuit on a non-planar surface includes creating a first set of conforming layers. The first set of conforming layers is created by applying an oxide dielectric layer to the surface, applying a conductive material layer to the oxide dielectric layer, applying a resist layer to the conductive material layer, patterning the resist layer according to a desired circuit layout, etching the surface to remove exposed conductive material, and stripping the resist layer. The process may be repeated to form multiple layers of conforming circuits with electrical connections between layers formed by blind microvias. The resulting set of conforming layers can be sealed.

Abstract: A fiber channel switching module can include an integrated trace buffer memory, a crossbar switch and a control processor disposed on a single line replaceable module (LRM). The trace buffer memory may be adapted to capture selected data traffic transiting the switch fabric based on pre-selected triggers. The selected data can be read out of the trace buffer memory and used for selected diagnostics.

Abstract: In some embodiments, flat electrical contact pads may be fabricated along a routed edge face of a printed wiring board (PWB). Some embodiments of the edge pads may, for example, be perpendicular to a plane of the printed wiring board. In some embodiments, the edge pads may be of a specified length and/or width. Some embodiments of the edge pads may, for example, have a surface finish suitable for soldering and/or for direct contact interconnections. In some embodiments, the edge pads may, for example, be configured for electrical connection to an adjoining device (e.g., PWB) with mating pads to form a tiled array configuration of interconnected devices (e.g., PWBs).
