    Abstract: Methods and devices related to the design and fabrication of molded cores for printed circuit board assemblies and system-on-package (SIP) devices are discussed. The discussed printed circuit board assemblies may have multiple electrical components embedded in a molded core matrix and forming electrical connections with one or more printed circuit boards attached to the molded core matrix. Methods for sourcing of electrical components and production of the molded cores and printed circuit board assemblies are also discussed. The methods and devices may increase a volumetric density of electrical components in printed circuit board assemblies and provide improved mechanical properties to the electrical circuit device.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a patch for coupling a watch body to a body of a user. The patch can include a substrate formed from a flexible material and an adhesive disposed over a surface of the substrate and configured to couple the patch to the body of the user. The patch can include a watch-mounting component disposed over a surface of the substrate and configured to couple the watch body to the patch. The patch can include one or more sensing elements, each having a terminal configured to contact the user, an interface element configured to interface with a watch sensing element of the watch body, and a conduit operably coupling the first terminal to the first interface element. The sensing elements can transmit signals to the watch body and the watch body can determine a physiological measurement of the user using the first and second signals.

    Abstract: Multilayer ceramic capacitor structures may include structural arrangements, materials, and/or substrate modifications that can improve the reliability of the capacitor for long-term usage when faced with environmental stress. Embodiments may implement reduced entryways in the termination patterns of the capacitor to decrease damage potential due to exposure of moisture. Embodiments may implement structures that decrease interfaces with different physical characteristics, which may lead to a reduction in the formation of micro-fractures during regular usage. Methods of manufacture for the features that improve reliability are also detailed.
