Patent number: 8492077Abstract: An exemplary method for providing a conductive material structure on a carrier generally includes applying a photo sensitive material on the carrier and applying a mask on the photo sensitive material. The mask defines a conductive material structure to be formed on the carrier. The method also includes irradiating the defined structure on the carrier in order to prepare for metallization, and metalizing the defined structure for forming the conductive material structure.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2011Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: Laird Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Ulf Palin

Publication number: 20120273259Abstract: In an exemplary embodiment, a signal transmission device generally includes a foldable conductive trace carrier having a first side and a second side. The carrier has a midsection between a first lateral section and a second lateral section. The midsection includes a first central primary conductive trace. First and second secondary conductive traces are respectively on each side of the primary conductive trace on the first side. The carrier is foldable for folding the first lateral section over the first side of the midsection and the second lateral section under the second side of the midsection. The first lateral section includes a first solid area of conductive material, and the second lateral section includes a second solid area of conductive material for forming a shielded conductor when the carrier is folded.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2012Publication date: November 1, 2012Inventor: Ulf Palin

Publication number: 20020084936Abstract: The invention is related to stopper for an extendable antenna which is mountable in a communication device. The stopper has a fastening portion for attachment to the lower end of an antenna rod, and is adapted to resiliently engage a holder when the antenna is extended. The stopper includes a stopper element with a cavity, which at least partially encloses a resilient element. The resilient element or the stopper element may be electrically conductive and connecting the antenna core to the RF transceiver in the communication device. The resilient element may be comprised by a wire or stripe, bent in a U or J-formed shape. Advantageously, the stopper element is provided with an opening through which the resilient element is introduceable into the cavity.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2001Publication date: July 4, 2002Inventors: Ulf Palin, Magnus Bjornberg
