Latest Patents
Lundstrom's latest patents highlight significant advancements in the assembly and production processes.
1. **Method for Mounting a Circuit** - This invention introduces a novel method for using chips with tape automated bonding (TAB) structures. The technique eliminates the necessity for specialized cutting and bending tools for different TAB structures, greatly reducing investment costs for low-production levels. The process involves cutting the terminal leads of a TAB structure using a specific cutting tool. Additionally, the chip can be glued to the substrate, allowing for the convenient arrangement of intermediate shielding or dielectric layers. Eventually, all terminals undergo wire-bonding to the substrate, aligning with established practices.
2. **Mold and Method for Molding Ferrules** - This patent pertains to a mold designed for the simultaneous molding of multiple ferrules onto optical fibers. The mold system comprises a runner plate, two cavity plates, and a support plate. It is engineered to facilitate the efficient distribution of molding compound through primary and secondary runners, leading to several mold cavities arranged in rows. Each cavity is designed to have cylindrical coaxial parts, enhancing the precision of the molding process.
