Abstract: A method of forming a molded interconnect device (MID) is provided. The method includes the steps of performing a molding stage, performing a circuit forming stage, and performing a plate stage. As a part of the molding stage, a palladium-catalyzed material is injection molded into a palladium-catalyzed substrate of a desired shape. As a part of the circuit forming stage, both a metallization step and a circuit patterning step are performed. As a part of the plating stage, both an electrolytic plating step and a circuit isolation step are performed.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a manufacturing process includes injection molding a palladium-catalyzed material into a substrate, forming a thin copper film over exterior and exposed surfaces of the substrate; ablating or removing copper film from the substrate to provide first, second and optional third portions of the copper film and ablated sections; electrolytically plating each portion to form metallic-plated portions; and ablating or removing the second portion in order to isolate the first portion. The metallic-plated first portion comprises a circuit portion of a molded interconnect device (MID), and where the metallic-plated third portion comprises a Faraday cage portion of a MID. A soft etching step may be included. A solder resist application step can be added, along with an associated solder resist removal step.

Abstract: A system embodiment receives a query from the user. The query is processed by a search infrastructure which may return a set of results. Results may then be estimated for quality by a quality estimator. The quality estimator may determine an initial quality estimation of the search result(s). A query re-issuer generates re-issued query information based on the initial quality estimation of the search result(s) for the initial query. A query modifier then receives the re-issued query information and generates a modified re-issued query in accordance with the query re-issue information. A method embodiment modifies and re-issues a query to the search infrastructure. The method includes determining an initial quality estimation of the search result, generating re-issued query information based on at least an initial quality estimation of the search result for the initial query, receiving the re-issued query information and generating a modified re-issued query in accordance with the re-issued query information.

Abstract: This invention relates to determining page elements to display in response to a search. A method embodiment of this invention determines a page element based on a search result. The method includes: (1) determining a set of result classifications based on the search result, wherein each result classification includes a result category and a result score; and (2) determining the page element based on the set of result classifications. In this way, a classification is determined based on a search result and page elements are generated based on the classification. By using the search result, as opposed to just the query, page elements are generated that corresponds to a predominant interpretation of the user's query within the search results. As result, the page elements may, in most cases, accurately reflect the user's intent.
