International Classification:

H05K 7/20

US Classification:

165080200, 361704000

Abstract:

A system for fixing a substrate with a heat transferring device in an assembled orientation; the system comprising: a substantially rod-shaped positioning member having a length generally symmetrically oriented about an axis and a generally constant lateral expanse substantially perpendicular with said axis substantially along said length; said positioning member interferingly fitting within at least one of a first aperture in said substrate and a second aperture in said heat transferring device to maintain a predetermined separation between said substrate and said heat transferring device in said assembled orientation.

William Lonzo Woods - Kaufman TX

Assignee:

Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H01F 706

US Classification:

29606

Abstract:

Methods of manufacturing a magnetic device and a manufacturing tool employing the methods. One of the methods includes the steps of: (1) providing a planar winding assembly and (2) employing an automated pick and placement tool adhesively to secure a first core-portion of a magnetic core to a second core-portion thereof proximate the planar winding assembly, the magnetic core adapted to impart a desired magnetic property to the planar winding assembly, the first and second core-portions being secured to said planar winding assembly without substantial compressive forces.

Assignee:

Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H01F 2702
H01F 2730
H01F 4102

US Classification:

336 96

Abstract:

A package for an electronic device, the electronic device including a body having a cavity therein, the body subject to stress from imposition of forces. The package includes a conforming compressible material disposed within at least a portion of the cavity in the body and substantially conforming to an interior configuration of the cavity, reducing imposition of the forces within the cavity and thereby reducing the stress on the body.

William L. Woods - Kaufman TX

Assignee:

Lucent Technologies, Inc. - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

B23P19/02

US Classification:

29525

Abstract:

An anvil for a press for assembling a fastener to a plate having an aperture. The press includes a ram assembly for pressing the fastener into the plate aperture. The anvil includes a housing and a pin disposed in the housing. The pin is slidable between an extended position, partially extending outwardly of the housing and is adapted to extend through the plate aperture. The pin moves to a retracted position disposed within the housing for contact with the bottom surface of the plate. The anvil further includes a collar disposed in the housing and concentrically disposed around the pin. The collar includes a plurality of spaced apart collar sections, each collar section having a bottom flange retained by the housing and a top flange. The collar sections are movable between an expanded position when the pin is in the extended position, and a collapsed position when the pin is in the retracted position within the housing. The collar sections top flanges engage the pin top surface in the pin retracted position to form a barrier below the plate aperture to prevent fastener extruded material from protruding on the plate bottom surface after the fastener is inserted into the plate.

International Classification:

H01F 4102

US Classification:

296021

Abstract:

An encapsulated package for a power magnetic device and a method of manufacture therefor. The power magnetic device has a magnetic core subject to magnetostriction when placed under stress. The package includes: (1) compliant material disposed about at least a portion of the magnetic core and (2) an encapsulant substantially surrounding the compliant material and the magnetic core, the compliant material providing a medium for absorbing stress between the encapsulant and the magnetic core, the compliant material reducing the magnetostriction upon the magnetic core caused by the stress from the encapsulant. In one embodiment, the encapsulant includes a vent to an environment surrounding the package. The vent provides pressure relief for the compliant material, allowing the compliant material to substantially eliminate the magnetostrictive effects.
