  • Publication number: 20240164023
    Abstract: A method is provided for producing circuit boards with perforated shaped parts. The perforated shaped parts are arranged and fixed relative to one another in a specified configuration in order to form a semi-finished product with a perforated mask, wherein the semi-finished product is then positioned in a press using the perforated mask and is pressed together with at least one other element in order to form a circuit board substrate for producing a circuit board. A system is also provided for producing circuit boards in order to prepare corresponding semi-finished products and processing same in order to form a circuit board substrate for producing a circuit board.

  • Patent number: 10639491
    Abstract: The device for positioning a magnetic coil for transcranial magnetic stimulation in relation to the head of a patient includes a head unit with a support for the patient's head and a positioning unit, which is connected to the support, with a coil seat for holding the magnetic coil. The device also includes a fixedly installed holding arm holding the head unit. A reversibly movable connection is provided between the head unit and the holding arm, and configured such that a change of a force, which is applied onto the support by the head of the patient, leads to a relative movement between the head unit and the holding arm through the movable connection.

  • Patent number: 10627429
    Abstract: The invention relates to a printed circuit board (1) with at least two connection points (3) and at least one precision resistor (2) for measuring a current flowing between the connection points. The aim of the invention is to inexpensively produce a printed circuit board of the type mentioned in the introduction such that the printed circuit board has a reduced installation space while simultaneously having a preferably long service life. According to the invention, this is achieved in that the precision resistor extends between the connection points in the printed circuit board (11). The invention additionally relates to a corresponding method for producing said printed circuit board.

  • Publication number: 20150327355
    Abstract: An angle-adjustable printed circuit board structure having two printed circuit board sections arranged angularly with respect to one another. The printed circuit board structure contains at least one conduction element which is embedded at least predominantly in the printed circuit board structure and which extends between two contact pads and is electrically conductively connected to said contact pads. The two contact pads are situated on different printed circuit board sections. The printed circuit board sections are angle-adjustable and/or angled relative to one another with maintenance of the connections between the contact pads and the at least one conduction element and with bending of the at least one conduction element via a bending edge between the printed circuit board sections. The conduction element has a larger extent along the bending edge than perpendicularly thereto, as viewed in cross section.

  • Publication number: 20150237738
    Abstract: A method for producing a circuit board element, and a corresponding circuit board element, with which it is possible to suppress the risk of delamination in the region of a component (e.g. a wire or a plate-like shaped part) that is embedded in the circuit board element. To this end, the present invention suggests that the surface of the component should be roughened, at least partially, in order to ensure a better adhesive bond with the surrounding cover layer (e.g. a prepreg made of an insulating material compound). The component surface can be roughened by chemical methods such as etching or by purely mechanical methods such as sand blasting.

  • Patent number: 8076612
    Abstract: A method provides for welding a conductor to a conductive film which is suited for connection to a circuit board support in order to produce a printed circuit board. The depth or diameter of the conductor is preferably greater than the thickness of the conductive film. At least during the welding process, the conductive film is maintained in contact with a thermal isolation plate having a thermal conductivity less than that of the conductive film. After being placed on the circuit board support, the conductive film is partly etched away to electrically isolate electrical contact points.
