A method for preparing a stacked solid aluminum electrolytic capacitor is disclosed. The method includes preparation of a plurality of cores, stacking and fixing of the plurality of cores in a case and encapsulation of the case. The core is prepared through the following steps. An I-shaped aluminum foil is divided into an anode part and a cathode part by applying an insulating blocking tape, where the cathode part includes a dielectric layer, which is subjected to formation. A conductive polymer layer is formed on a surface of the cathode part, and is then impregnated with conductive colloidal graphite followed by drying to form a conductive carbon paste layer. The conductive carbon paste layer is impregnated with a conductive silver paste followed by drying to form a conductive silver paste layer. After that, a core is obtained.

Disclosed herein is an electrode feedthru assembly for an electronic device and method of manufacturing. The feedthru assembly includes a ferrule, an electrode assembly, and an elastomer. The ferrule includes a bore through which the electrode assembly is positioned. The electrode assembly includes an electrode wire attached to a crimp pin. The crimp pin includes a crimp terminal portion and a pin terminal portion, the crimp terminal portion being crimped to a portion of the electrode wire to form a connected portion of the electrode assembly.

Safe handling of link errors in a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) express (PCIE) device is disclosed. In one aspect, safe handling of link errors involves detecting errors in a PCIE link and maintaining the PCIE link by preventing the reporting of detected errors and providing safe data to a host in communication with the PCIE link. A PCIE link can be established between a host (incorporating a root complex) and an endpoint device, through which the host can request the performance of operations (e.g., read data, write data) by the endpoint device. Circuitry and/or software can monitor the PCIE link and perform safe handling of link errors when they occur. The circuitry detects link errors and consumes them in such a manner that the host is unaware that an error has occurred and only safe (e.g., non-corrupted) data is provided to the host.
