Abstract: A transmission-reflectance swappable Raman device and a method thereof are disclosed. The excitation light is selectively directed to the sample in one direction for generating the transmission Raman signal in transmission mode or in another direction for generating the reflectance Raman signal in reflectance mode. The content of an analyte in a sample can be determined by analyzing transmission and reflectance Raman signal.

Abstract: A valve for a tire pressure monitoring system in which the valve acts a coaxial conductor to transmit a signal to a receiver presented. A valve stem electrically isolated from a valve pin form the coaxial conductor. In a tire pressure monitoring system, a tire pressure measurement module is positioned inside a tire. In one embodiment, a conductive radiating structure is electrically connected or coupled to the valve pin to receive the tire pressure information signal and transmit it to a receiver. The above configuration further permits a rechargeable battery in the tire pressure measurement module to be recharged via the tire valve. The valve pin and valve stem, being electrically isolated from one another, are used as recharging paths for the battery.

Abstract: A stacked multi-chip package with an EMI shielded component has first and second substrates mounted together by a grid array of metallic connecting nodes, such as a solder Ball Grid Array. Each substrate has a conductive plane associated with it. An electronic component is mounted between the first and second substrates and is surrounded by a group of the metallic connecting nodes that are also electrically connected to the conductive planes of both substrates to form a conductive Faraday cage about the component.
