Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is for a high-density connector for stacked circuit boards. This invention discloses a device for electrically coupling stacked circuit boards using conductive polymer interconnect material and a spacer element. In one embodiment, coaxial connection is provided by means of an array of wires within undulating metal envelopes. In another embodiment, pins are provided within holes in a plastic spacer. Additionally, wires can be laid on a substrate, with successive laminations built up to form the spacer element. In a further embodiment, wire arrays are extrusion molded within thermoplastic sheets that are laminated to form the spacer element.

Another significant patent by Akkapeddi is the optoelectronic cable connector. This invention interconnects a plurality of optical fibers using connectors that each comprise an optoelectronic device. These devices are adapted to connect to the ends of each optical fiber for converting optical signals to electrical signals and vice versa. Each connector features a first contact with a cylindrical plug end and a cylindrical socket end located on a common axis. A transverse conductor extends from the first contact and connects to the optoelectronic device. The design allows for the contacts to rotate freely, enabling the optical fibers to extend in various radial directions.
