A modular wireless communications system (edge device, etc.) that includes a base unit having a base unit processor and one or more additional units that each include a processor, in which the base unit processor is configured with processor-executable software instructions to determine whether the base unit has been combined with the one or more additional units to create a combined unit and/or whether one or more of the additional units have been detached from the combined unit. The processor may automatically perform an edge reconfiguration interrogation and enumeration (ERIE) operation in response to determining that the base unit has been combined with the one or more additional units to create the combined unit or in response to determining that one or more of the additional units have been detached from the combined unit.

An electronic component package includes: a lower package, including a frame including a through-hole and a through-wiring, a first electronic component disposed in the through-hole of the frame, a redistribution layer disposed below the first electronic component and the frame and electrically connected to the first electronic component, and an encapsulant filling the through-hole to encapsulate the first electronic component; an upper package disposed on the lower package and including a second electronic component; and a passive element disposed between the upper package and the lower package.

A network packaging system can include a circuit board that includes a chip located substantially in a center of the board. A backplane is in communication with the chip and located along on a first edge of the circuit board. A plurality of connector ports are arranged along the perimeter of at least two other edges of the circuit board. A plurality of traces connects the plurality of connector ports to the chip. A support structure houses one or more circuit boards, with at least two sidewall surfaces of the support structure extending substantially orthogonal to and coextensive with each of the at least two edges of the circuit board. The support structure includes a plurality of apertures extending through the one or more surfaces spatially aligned with each of the plurality of connector ports.

Modular system of interfacing consumer electronics devices. The system includes a powered base hub and additional modular components with interface couplers providing electrical continuity between modules. Data transmission between modules may be through the interface couplers or wireless. The system includes a power cord for providing power to the base or wireless pad, but it need not include any additional power or data cords or cables.

The invention relates to a modular assembly that comprises at least two housing parts (1), in which in each case a circuit board (L) is received, at least one internal connecting means (17), one cover element and one closing element. Each housing part (1) is formed from a base plate (3), a rear wall (5) and side walls (4) that are connected to said rear wall. The housing parts (1) are stacked in such a manner that the side walls (4) combine to form a first (6) and a second complete side wall (7), and that the rear walls (5) combine to form a complete rear wall (8). At least two of the housing parts (1) are stacked in such a manner that the base plate (3) of the one housing part (1) is connected to the side walls (4) of the other housing part (1). The at least one internal connecting means (17) extends in a direction perpendicular to the base plates (3) and connects multiple circuit boards (L) by way of first connectors (18). The cover element lies on the side walls (4) of precisely one housing part (1). The closing element is attached to a front side on the housing parts (1), said front side lying opposite the complete rear wall (8).

A fastening device, a method of operating the fastening device, and a display panel are provided. The fastening device includes a diffuser and a limiter, wherein the limiter includes a deformation portion and a non-deformation portion disposed opposite to each other to enclose a receiving portion, and the diffuser is configured to be received in the receiving portion, so as to adjust a deformation size of the deformation portion by movement of the diffuser.

A method that includes receiving an indication at a modular electronic system of initiation of online removal for a module removably inserted into a slot of the modular electronic system, increasing a fan speed at the modular electronic system before the module is removed, monitoring an internal temperature at the modular electronic system, and providing an indication that the module is ready for removal upon reaching a specified cooling state at the modular electronic system based on the temperature monitoring. A panel on an adjacent module is opened and extends into the slot upon removal of the module to substantially block airflow bypass from the slot and maintain cooling within the modular electronic system. An apparatus and logic are also disclosed herein.

An energy module is disclosed. The energy module includes a control circuit and a two wire interface coupled to the control circuit. The two wire interface is configured as a power source and as a communication interface between the energy module and a neutral electrode.

A semiconductor device includes a first wiring board having a first surface mounted with a primary radiator, and a second surface mounted with a semiconductor chip, a second wiring board mounted with a secondary radiator that forms an antenna with the primary radiator, and a third wiring board, arranged between the first and second wiring boards, and forming a predetermined gap with each of the first and second wiring boards. A first board-to-board connection member is arranged between the first and third wiring boards, to form a space between the first and third wiring boards, and regulate the spacing between the first and third wiring boards. A second board-to-board connection member is arranged between the second and third wiring boards, to form a space between the second and third wiring boards, and regulate a spacing between the second and third wiring boards.
