Abstract: An apparatus for reducing EMI at the micro-electronic-component level includes a substrate having a ground conductor integrated therein. A micro-electronic component such as an integrated circuit is mounted to the substrate. An electrically conductive lid is mounted to the substrate, thereby forming a physical interface with the substrate. The electrically conductive lid substantially covers the micro-electronic component. A conductive link is provided to create an electrical connection between the electrically conductive lid and the ground conductor at the physical interface.

Abstract: A non-contact thermal imaging system for heterogeneous materials, the system including a translating head that is parallel to a reference plane; an infrared probe connected to data acquisition electronics in order to collect first data, the first data being nitrated intensity readings; a transmitter for sending one or more signals to a sample; and a receiver for receiving the one or more signals from the sample; wherein the transmitter and the receiver measure an intensity of the one or more signals reflected off the sample as second data; and wherein the first data and the second data are combined via software to calculate a temperature at every point on the sample.
