Abstract: Microelectronic assemblies, and related devices and methods, are disclosed herein. For example, in some embodiments, a microelectronic assembly may include a substrate layer having a surface; a first conductive trace having a first thickness on the surface of the substrate layer; and a second conductive trace having a second thickness on the surface of the substrate layer, wherein the second thickness is different from the first thickness. In some embodiments, the first conductive trace and the second conductive trace have rectangular cross-sections.

Abstract: Embodiments include one or more air core inductors (ACIs) and a method of forming the ACIs. The ACI includes a first inductor loop on a substrate. The first inductor loop has a first line and a second line. The first line has a first thickness that is greater than a second thickness of the second line. The ACI also includes a dielectric over the substrate and the first and second lines. The first line has a top surface above a top surface of the second line. The ACI further includes a second inductor loop on the dielectric and the first inductor loop. The second inductor loop has is coupled to the top surface of the first line of the first inductor loop. The first inductor loop may also have a third thickness, where the third thickness is the distance between the top surfaces of the first and second line.

Abstract: A programming environment may have an abstract interface definition that may contain a redirection definition that may cause a call to be bound to a redirected method or function. The redirected method or function may be a conditional redirection, and some embodiments may perform various checks including signature checks, static and runtime access checks, and other verifications for the redirected method. The redirection may enable a programmer to modify a portion of an interface without having to re-implement all of the functions of the interface.

Abstract: A microbial fuel cell comprising an anode, a cathode, microbes in contact with the anode, a conduit for electrons connecting the anode to the cathode through an external circuit wherein the anode, cathode or both comprise a mixture of one or more conductive materials and one or more ion exchange materials.
