Circuit structures and methods of fabrication are provided for facilitating implementing a complete electronic system in a compact package. The circuit structure includes, in one embodiment, a chips-first multichip base layer with conductive structures extending therethrough. An interconnect layer is disposed over the front surface of the multichip layer and includes interconnect metallization electrically connected to contact pads of the chips and to conductive structures extending through the structural material. A redistribution layer, disposed over the back surface of the multichip layer, includes a redistribution metallization also electrically connected to conductive structures extending through the structural material. Input / output contacts are arrayed over the redistribution layer, including over the lower surfaces of at least some integrated circuit chips within the multichip layer, and are electrically connected through the redistribution metallization, conductive structures, and interconnect metallization to contact pads of the integrated circuit chips of the multichip layer.

A module is electrically connectable to a computer system. The module includes a frame having an edge connector with a plurality of electrical contacts which are electrically connectable to the computer system. The module further includes a first printed circuit board coupled to the frame. The first printed circuit board has a first surface and a first plurality of components mounted on the first surface. The first plurality of components is electrically coupled to the electrical contacts of the edge connector. The module further includes a second printed circuit board coupled to the frame. The second printed circuit board has a second surface and a second plurality of components mounted on the second surface. The second plurality of components is electrically coupled to the electrical contacts of the edge connector. The second surface of the second printed circuit board faces the first surface of the first printed circuit board. The module further includes at least one thermally conductive layer positioned between the first plurality of components and the second plurality of components. The at least one thermally conductive layer is thermally coupled to the first plurality of components, to the second plurality of components, and to the electrical contacts of the edge connector.

A touch sensor device is provided that uses a flexible circuit substrate to provide an improved input device. Specifically, the present invention uses a touch sensor controller affixed to the flexible circuit substrate, which is coupled to a sensor component to provide a flexible, reliable and cost effective touch sensor suitable for a wide variety of applications. In one embodiment the touch sensor uses a flexible circuit substrate that provides relatively high temperature resistance. This allows the touch sensor controller to be affixed using reliable techniques, such as various types of soldering. The sensor component can comprise a relatively low-temperature-resistant substrate that can provide a cost effective solution. Taken together, this embodiment of the touch sensor provides reliability and flexibility at relatively low cost.

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for using light emitting diodes for curing and various solid state lighting applications. The method includes a novel method for cooling the light emitting diodes and mounting the same on heat pipe in a manner which delivers ultra high power in UV, visible and IR regions. Furthermore, the unique LED packaging technology of the present invention utilizes heat pipes that perform very efficiently in very compact space. Much more closely spaced LEDs operating at higher power levels and brightness are possible because the thermal energy is transported in an axial direction down the heat pipe and away from the light-emitting direction rather than a radial direction in nearly the same plane as the “p-n” junction.

Illumination apparatus includes a support structure, at least one light emitting element, and a heat sink thermally coupled to the light emitting element. The light emitting element and heat sink are moveable in relation to the support structure. An actuator system moves the at least one light emitting element and the heat sink with respect to the support structure.
