  • Advanced grounding scheme
    Patent number: 9585240
    Abstract: A laminate substrate may include a slug positioned within a cavity of a laminate core. The laminate substrate may have routing layers on either side of the laminate core, at least one of which is coplanar with an outer side of the slug. A capping layer may then be applied to the laminate substrate which is directly coupled with the slug and the routing layer. In embodiments, a dielectric layer may be coupled with the capping layer, and an additional routing layer may be coupled with the dielectric layer. Therefore, the routing layer may be an “inner” routing layer that is coplanar with, and coupled with, the slug.

  • Dynamic publication of information from a database
    Patent number: 7962844
    Abstract: Systems and methods for electronic management can be configured so that content is stored apart from the information for formatting the content. A data structure for the content may be initially defined, and content items may be stored in the data structure. Formatting information may be stored separately from the content in the form of a template. To publish formatted content, the stored content may be merged with the template. Specialized tags may be included in the template to permit added publishing functionality. In this manner, the system can easily manage large volumes of content and deliver the content to a variety of specialized target devices.
