Abstract: A material contains a curable liquid polymer containing suspended nanoparticles capable of exhibiting a magnetic property. The nanoparticles are present in a concentration sufficient to cause the curable liquid polymer to flow in response to application of a magnetic field, enabling the material to be guided into narrow regions to completely fill such regions prior to the polymer being cured. A method includes applying a filler material to at least one component, the filler material including a heat curable polymer containing nanoparticles, and applying an electromagnetic field to at least part of the filler material. The nanoparticles contain a core capable of experiencing localized heating sufficient to at least partially cure surrounding polymer. Also disclosed is an assembly for use at radio frequencies. The assembly includes a substrate and at least one component supported by the substrate.

Abstract: An apparatus including: a conductive antenna; a conductive object; a connection having a complex electrical impedance between the antenna and the conductive object; and an element having a complex magnetic permeability located adjacent the conductive antenna, wherein, when the conductive antenna is energized, the connection and the element substantially reduce a phase difference between an electric current flowing in the conductive antenna and an induced electric current flowing in the conductive object. Methods and other apparatus are described and claimed.
