A structure of a circuitry substrate for securing an area from tampering is disclosed. The structure includes a circuitry substrate with at least one of a top tamper enclosure and a bottom tamper enclosure covering a component in a protected area of the circuitry substrate. The top and bottom tamper enclosures are adhesively bonded to a surface of the circuitry substrate, and a tear initiation site is added to a side of the perimeter of circuitry substrate bordering the protected area that includes at least one tamper enclosure, such that the tear initiation site is located and configured to enable propagation of a delamination of at least one internal layer of the circuitry substrate and a severing of a security circuit when a removal force is applied to the at least one of the top tamper enclosure and the bottom tamper enclosure.

The present invention relates generally to electric circuit testing, building, or implementing using a breadboard-style printed circuit board (PCB). Aspects of the present invention include eliminating the need to use hookup wires when building and testing electric circuits on PCBs. In one or more embodiments, a PCB system having rows and columns of signal tie points connected in a breadboard layout and using an embedded wire and a solder bridge to form partial connections between signal tie points may be built. In one or more embodiments, an embedded wire and solder bridge is capable of connecting a column of signal tie points, and/or an embedded wire and solder bridge is capable of connecting a power rail to a signal tie point. Thus, a circuit may be implemented and tested by applying a small amount of solder to the solder bridge without the need for hookup wire.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a structure constructed by a sheet includes a sheet body. The sheet body has a plurality of enclosed paths. A plurality of slits and connection portions are arranged along each enclosed path. Each connection portion is located between two adjacent slits. The sheet body is flexible. In an extended state, the slits form extended openings. At least one extended opening is a symmetric opening, so that the sheet body is extended to form a structure constructed by sheet. The structure constructed by sheet forms a stereoscopic curved surface, and the plurality of connection portions is located on a plurality of contours of the stereoscopic curved surface.

A triggering condition is applied to a conductive polymer positioned in a drilled hole in a printed circuit board. The applied triggering condition causes the polymer to vertically expand within the drilled hole such that the expanded polymer creates an electrically conductive path between contact pads located in different layers of the printed circuit board.

A method for producing an electric component carrier for automobile applications, in particular an electric component carrier for a lock. The electric component carrier is equipped with a conductive track arrangement and a base plate, which supports the conductive track. In the initial state, the conductive track arrangement has one or more separation points depending upon the required mode of operation in the operational state. According to the invention, the conductive track arrangement in the initial state is coated at least partially with a casting compound by means of injection molding and then the separation point is introduced into the free region.

A surface-mount device includes a first electrode, a second electrode, a third electrode, a fourth electrode, a first impedance layer, and a second impedance layer. The first impedance layer is disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, and is electrically connected to the first electrode and the second electrode in a first direction. The second impedance layer is disposed between the third electrode and the fourth electrode, and is electrically connected to the third electrode and the fourth electrode in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and the second impedance layer is interlaced with and electrically isolated with the first impedance layer.

A part comprising a body and a film bonded to a surface of the body and incorporating an electronic circuit. This electronic circuit comprises at least one electronic component, conductive lines connected to the electronic component and at least two connection terminals positioned on at least one of the conductive lines, each connection terminal having a cross-section, in a plane parallel to the surface of the body, greater than twice the cross-section of a conductive line. By virtue of the connection terminals, which are distributed over the electronic circuit, it is possible to replace a faulty circuit segment with a repair circuit segment.

A mass produced electrically conductive device with sufficiently high yield, even when forming a conductive layer pattern having an extremely small thickness/minimum area using a minimum amount of silver paste. The identifier-providing device has a conductive layer pattern formed on a rear surface of a base material as an insulator. The silver paste forming the conductive layer pattern contains only silver flakes, as silver particles, that have a particle size in a range of 3.0 to 5.0 m and that has a thickness of 100 nm at a largest thickness portion, while having a thickness of 50 nm at a smallest thickness portion. The conductive layer pattern is formed to have a film thickness of 10 m or less by laminating the silver flakes in the thickness direction. The silver flakes forming the conductive layer are in a fused state or an aggregating/cohering state at the smallest thickness portion.
