Latest Patents
One of Swier's latest patents is for a flexible circuit for a fluid-jet precision-dispensing device cartridge assembly. This invention includes a housing, a fluid-jet precision-dispensing device die, and a flexible circuit. The design allows the housing to be insertable in a fluid-jet precision-dispensing device, with the die disposed at the first surface of the housing. The flexible circuit wraps around the housing and includes electrically conductive traces and contacts that facilitate power transmission and signal communication between the device and the die. Additionally, the circuit features regions that are rigid and/or thermally conductive to enhance attachment to the housing.
Another notable patent by Swier involves protected electrical interconnect assemblies. This invention describes methods for forming electrical interconnect assemblies that apply a flowable protective material to an electrical interconnect region comprising portions of at least two conductors. The method ensures that the protective material is exposed to conditions that render it non-flowable, thus protecting the electrical interconnect region from degradation. This process also allows solder positioned near the electrical interconnect region to bond effectively with the conductors.
