An air-moving device may include an aerodynamic stator. The aerodynamic stator may be positioned forward of a motor of the air-moving device and aftward of an aerodynamic rotor of the air-moving device. A control unit may be integrated in and in thermal communication with the aerodynamic stator. The aerodynamic stator may transfer heat from the control unit to thermally conductive stator vanes of the aerodynamic stator. An airflow generated by the aerodynamic rotor may facilitate heat dissipation from the thermally conductive stator vanes. The aerodynamic stator may include electrically conductive stator vanes. The electrically conductive stator vanes may provide at least one of power or control signaling to the control unit.

Conductive aerodynamic stator

One embodiment of the invention includes a flexible circuit and a stiffener. The flexible circuit has first, second, and third portions. The first portion is folded on an upper surface of the third portion and has first contact elements attached to a first device. The second portion is folded on the first device and has second contact elements attached to a second device. The stiffener is attached to the upper surface of the third portion and located between the upper surface of the third portion and the first portion.

Stacking multiple devices using flexible circuit

In one embodiment of the invention, a stacking element includes a printed circuit board (PCB) and a plurality of solder bumps. The PCB has a top side and a bottom side. The top side is attached to first pins of a first device. The plurality of solder bumps are on the bottom side and attached to upper areas of second pins of a second device to provide electrical connections between the first pins and the second pins.
