  • Patent number: 8383960
    Abstract: A one-piece board level shielding element with a top cover peel panel is secured to a circuit board to shield and provide access to a shielded component. The shielding element is formed with a top having a peel line to facilitate removal of the peel panel with a peel tool. Once the repair is completed, a new cover is put on to the remaining side-walls to reestablish the shielding. The shield top cover is formed with a peel tool insertion slot and an adjacent peel start slot. The peel panel is removed by a peel tool having a peel hook mounted to a cylindrical peel key that is inserted into the insertion slot and hooks the cover at the peel start slot. Upon rotating the peel key away from the peel start slot, the peel panel is easily removed. A fixture plate may be used to support the peel tool and assist in removal of the peel panel.

  • Publication number: 20100059753
    Abstract: A fabrication method is described for forming an electronic circuit on a flexible substrate consisting of plastic and opaque foils. Corresponding circuit structures are also described herein. The opaque substrate can be selected from a set of polymers which have the appropriate thermo-mechanical properties. The foil geometry of the opaque substrate can be selected to maximize the structural integrity on the display in the planar directions but have excellent mechanical stress distribution when bent or flexed.

  • Publication number: 20080300846
    Abstract: A scripting approach to managing the test bench complexity issue is provided. Partitioning the functionality of a test bench between Verilog and a scripting language allows for a significant reduction in compile times during ASIC verification. If done correctly, partitioning also offers great potential for re-use of test bench components. The Tcl language was chosen as a basis for implementing a library of PLI routines that allow fully customizable interpreters to be instantiated in Verilog test benches. This library allows multiple Tcl interpreters to be instantiated in a Verilog simulation. The Tcl interpreters can interact with the simulation and cause tasks to be executed in the Verilog simulation. It has been found the TCL_PLI library is extremely valuable in speeding up verification efforts on multi-million gate ASICs.
