A method and apparatus is disclosed for affixing a cover layer formed of liquid crystal polymer to a flex circuit consisting of circuit elements mounted to a liquid crystal polymer substrate in order to encapsulate the circuit elements between the cover layer and substrate to protect them from exposure to moisture and contaminants.

Method and apparatus for sealing flex circuits made with an LCP substrate

A method and apparatus is disclosed for affixing a cover layer formed of liquid crystal polymer to a flex circuit consisting of circuit elements mounted to a liquid crystal polymer substrate in order to encapsulate the circuit elements between the cover layer and substrate to protect them from exposure to moisture and contaminants and to provide thermal protection of temperature sensitive circuit elements within the flex circuit during the encapsulation process.

Apparatus for sealing flex circuits having heat sensitive circuit elements

A method relating to a multi-functional, structural circuit, referred to as a structural circuit, is disclosed. The method can include thermoforming a liquid crystal polymer (LCP) circuit with a structural element (). At least one circuit component can be attached to the surface of the LCP circuit ().

Method of constructing a structural circuit

A micro-generator for providing electrical power to a battery charger capable of charging lithium ion, lithium polymer and other rechargeable batteries of the type which power portable electronic devices and MEMS. The micro-generator includes a micro-combustor and a thermoelectric module consisting of a number of quantum well thermoelectric panels connected between spaced heat spreaders, one of which is mounted in thermal communication with the micro-combustor. Different types of hydrocarbon fuel may be supplied to the micro-combustor where it is burned within a combustion chamber. The entire system is controlled in real time by a micro-controller which is powered upon start up by an ultra capacitor and thereafter by the electric power produced by the thermoelectric module.
