An implantable electrical connecting device includes a first elastic multi-ply layer and a second elastic multi-ply layer. The first elastic multi-ply layer has a first electrically conductive layer and a plurality of first electrical contacts electrically conductively connected to the first electrically conductive layer of the first elastic multi-ply layer. The second elastic multi-ply layer has a first electrically conductive layer and a plurality of second electrical contacts electrically conductively connected to the first electrically conductive layer of the second elastic multi-ply layer. The second electrical contacts make contact with the first electrical contacts.

Electronic modules and methods of fabrication are described. In an embodiment, an electronic module includes a molded system-in-package, and a flexible circuit mounted on a side surface of a molding compound layer such that the flexible circuit is in electrical contact with a lateral interconnect exposed along the side surface of the molding compound layer.

A method of depositing a donor material onto a target surface is provided herein, in which a first main side of a substrate is covered with a stretchable layer that is attaching thereto with a sealing around an enclosed area at the first main side, therewith defining an enclosure. The stretchable layer has an outer surface that faces away from the substrate, and that is patterned with one or more recessed areas filled with the donor material to be deposited. A relatively high pressure is provided in an interior of the enclosure so that its volume is increased and the patterned surface of the stretchable layer is pressed against the target surface. In that state of the stretchable layer the substrate is irradiated at a second main side opposite its first main side with photon radiation that has an intensity and a duration that causes a transfer of donor material from the one or more recessed areas to the target surface. Also a plate and a deposition device are provided.

Electronic textiles and methods of fabrication electronic textiles. Nanoparticles of a conductive material are sprayed along a conductive path into a fabric material so as to penetrate into the fabric. A layer of a second conductor material is coated over the nanoparticles along the conductive path. A layer of an insulator material is coated over the layer of the second conductor material so as to encapsulate the conductive path and form a trace. An electrode configured to contact a subject wearing the fabric material includes a layer of a third conductor material coated over the layer of the second conductor and electrically coupled with the conductive path. An electrical connector is secured to the fabric material and electrically coupled with the conductive path. The nanoparticles are sprayed onto the fabric material using a dual regime spray process implemented with a dual regime spray system.

Systems and methods for producing electromagnetic devices are provided. The systems and methods allow for an electromagnetic device having both a substrate (e.g., polymer) and conductive material (e.g., metal) to be manufactured without using masks or other outside objects disposed over a surface (e.g., the substrate) onto which the conductive material is deposited. In one exemplary embodiment, the method includes performing additive manufacturing using a polymer to produce a device having a plurality of interconnected walls and a plurality of frequency selective surface elements, and then coating portions of the device with a conductive material. A plurality of shadowing features are formed as part of one or more of the walls to protect the frequency selective surface elements from being coated by the conductive material. Other methods, and a variety of systems that can result from the disclosed methods, are also provided.
