Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure relate to a method of assembly that includes thermally coupling two components. The method includes providing a thermal interface pad between the two components, such as an integrated circuit and a cooling solution. The thermal interface pad can have a star shape, and a pressure is applied to at least one of the two components. The pressure can cause the star shape thermal interface to expand into a rectangular shape. The expanded rectangular shape does not expand into keep out area positioned around an electronic component of the two components.

Abstract: Electronic assemblies such as system on a wafer assemblies are disclosed. The assembly can include an electronic component that has a first side, a heat removing structure that is coupled to the first side of the electronic component, and a thermal interface structure that includes a thermal interface layer and an adhesion layer. The electronic component can be a system on a wafer (SoW). The thermal interface layer is positioned between the first side of the electronic component and the heat dissipation structure. The adhesion layer is positioned between the heat removing structure and the thermal interface layer. With the thermal interface structure, the electronic component and the heat removing structure can be attached together with relatively lower pressure.

Abstract: A method for protocol layer coordination of wireless energy transfer systems includes defining, by a master Internet of Things Access Point (IoTA), a set of configuration parameters. The master IoTA is one of a plurality of IoTAs. Each IoTA includes a controller in communication with a Power Access Point (PAP), an intercommunication radio and a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) transceiver. The PAP is configured to energize an RFID tag, the intercommunication radio is configured to communicate between the master IoTA and a slave IoTA, and the RFID transceiver is configured to communicate with the RFID tag. Both the master IoTA and the slave IoTA are configured with the set of configuration parameters, transmitted by the master IoTA. The slave IoTA transmits an RFID command in response to the slave IoTA receiving the RFID request, from the master IoTA.
