A method for producing a waveguide in a multilayer substrate involves producing at least one cutout corresponding to a lateral course of the waveguide in a surface of a first layer arrangement comprising one or a plurality of layers. A metallization is produced on surfaces of the cutout. A second layer arrangement comprising one or a plurality of layers is applied on the first layer arrangement. The second layer arrangement comprises, on a surface thereof, a metallization which, after the second layer arrangement has been applied on the first layer arrangement, is arranged above the cutout and together with the metallization on the surfaces of the cutout forms the waveguide.

Disclosed herein is a method of forming vias in electrical laminates comprising laminating a sheet having a layer comprising a crosslinkable polymer composition to a substrate wherein the crosslinkable polymer composition has a viscosity at lamination temperatures in the range of 200 Pa-s to 100,000 Pa-s, forming at least one via in the crosslinkable polymer layer by laser ablation; and after the forming of the at least one via, thermally curing the crosslinkable polymer layer. According to certain embodiments the cross linkable polymer composition has a viscosity at lamination temperature of at least 5000 Pa-s. This method yields good lamination results, good via profiles, and good desmear results when such compositions are used and the via is laser ablated before cure.

An efficient fabrication technique, including an optional design step, is used to create highly customizable wearable electronics. The method of fabrication utilizes rapid laser machining and adhesion-controlled soft materials. The method produces well-aligned, multi-layered materials created from 2D and 3D elements that stretch and bend while seamlessly integrating with rigid components such as microchip integrated circuits (IC), discrete electrical components, and interconnects. The design step can be used to create a 3D device that conforms to different-shaped body parts. These techniques are applied using commercially available materials. These methods enable custom wearable electronics while offering versatility in design and functionality for a variety of bio-monitoring applications.

Electronic modules having complex contact structures may be formed by encapsulating panels containing pluralities of electronic modules delineated by cut lines and having conductive interconnects buried within the panel along the cut lines. Holes defining contact regions along the electronic module sidewall may be cut into the panel along the cut lines to expose the buried interconnects. The panel may be metallized, e.g. by a series or processes including plating, on selected surfaces including in the holes to form the contacts and other metal structures followed by cutting the panel along the cut lines to singulate the individual electronic models. The contacts may be located in a conductive grove providing a castellated module.

Methods include receiving at least one electronic device including a sensor or an emitter, placing a cover over the sensor or emitter, placing the electronic device, including the cover, into a transfer mold system, encapsulating the electronic device with charge material, and removing a portion of the encapsulating charge material and the cover to expose the sensor or emitter to the environment.

A hair coloring appliance includes a handle and a hair color delivery system supported within the handle. A nozzle assembly is adapted to receive hair color. The nozzle assembly includes a stationary frame and a nozzle array through which the hair color is delivered to the hair and a plurality of filaments adjacent the nozzles which are longer than the nozzles, acting as a stand-off between the nozzles and the scalp. A motor reciprocates the nozzle array back and forth as hair color moves through the nozzles.

A conductive network fabrication process is provided and includes filling a hole formed in a substrate with dielectric material, laminating films of the dielectric material on either side of the substrate, opening a through-hole through the dielectric material at the hole, depositing a conformal coating of dielectric material onto an interior surface of the through-hole and executing seed layer metallization onto the conformal coating in the through-hole to form a seed layer extending continuously along an entire length of the through-hole.
