Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is titled "Universal coupling for electrically connecting a flexible printed circuit to another flexible printed circuit in multiple different orientations." This invention discloses a universal coupling that allows for the electrical and mechanical connection of flexible printed circuit (FPC) components within asymmetric FPC modules. The design enables a first FPC component to connect to a second FPC component in two or more orientations, which reduces the number of parts and tooling required for fabrication. This innovation simplifies the overall fabrication process.

Another notable patent is the "Hinge assembly." This invention comprises a first component that includes a moveable tensioning guide and a second component connected to the first. The two components are movable relative to one another, and a flexible interconnect runs between them. The flexible interconnect is routed around the moveable tensioning guide, allowing movement of the first component to affect the tensioning guide's position. This design modifies the flexible path taken by the interconnect during the movement of both components.
