Patent number: 12224096Abstract: Embodiments of an apparatus that includes a substrate and an inductor residing in the substrate are disclosed. In one embodiment, the inductor is formed as a conductive path that extends from a first terminal to a second terminal. The conductive path has a shape corresponding to a two-dimensional (2D) lobe laid over a three-dimensional (3D) volume. Since the shape of the conductive path corresponds to the 2D lobe laid over a 3D volume, the magnetic field generated by the inductor has magnetic field lines that are predominately destructive outside the inductor and magnetic field lines that are predominately constructive inside the inductor. In this manner, the inductor can maintain a high quality (Q) factor while being placed close to other components.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2021Date of Patent: February 11, 2025Assignee: Qorvo US, Inc.Inventors: George Maxim, Dirk Robert Walter Leipold, Baker Scott

Patent number: 12096551Abstract: A novel and useful system wiring apparatus and related techniques that address the need to feed power and electronic signals to and from a sample board between the cold, low pressure region in a vacuum chamber and outside room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The wiring apparatus balances electrical resistance with the thermal conductivity of the power and signal conductors. Printed flexible cables are used having an annular sealing region which together with O-rings provide vacuum sealing while allowing electrical signals to pass between integrated circuit(s) inside the vacuum chamber and equipment outside the chamber. A thermal anchor is placed along the printed flexible cable to maintain a desired temperature along the cable. The printed flexible circuits are multilayer with two outer layers serving as an RF shield while two inner layers comprise the signal lines which typically require shielding, electrical isolation from each other and from external electromagnetic fields.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2022Date of Patent: September 17, 2024Assignee: EQUAL 1 LABORATORIES IRELAND LIMITEDInventors: Hans Haenlein, Dirk Robert Walter Leipold, Ali Esmailiyan
