Abstract: A communications array includes a support structure configured to array elements, and a plurality of array elements supported by the support structure. Each array element is fabricated from an advanced manufacturing techniques (AMT) process. The support structure may be fabricated from a printed circuit board (PCB) or similar dielectric material. Each array element may include a radiator and/or a beamformer manufactured using the AMT process. The communications array further may include a copper vertical launch (CVL) and/or an electromagnetic boundary.

Abstract: An apparatus for automating the fabrication of a copper vertical launch (CVL) within a printed circuit board (PCB) includes a feed mechanism to feed and extrude copper wire from a spool of copper wire and a wire cutting and gripping mechanism to receive copper wire from the feed mechanism, cut and secure a segment of copper wire, insert the segment of copper wire into a hole formed within the PCB, solder an end of the segment of copper wire to a signal trace of the PCB, and flush cut an opposite end of the segment of the copper wire to a surface of the PCB. The wire cutting and gripping mechanism includes a wire cutter to flush cut the segment of copper wire and an integrated heated gripper device to receive the copper wire from the spool of copper wire and cut and grab a segment from copper wire.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for an assembly having first and second circuit cards mated together with a ball stack on the first circuit card extending into a through hole in the second circuit card. A wirebond connects the first ball stack to a bond pad on the first surface of the second circuit card forming a low profile connector-less interconnect. The ball stack comprises at least two balls stacked on top of each other and bonded to each other, wherein the balls are generated from wire.

Abstract: A system includes a flight vehicle and one or more deployable radiators. Each deployable radiator includes a structure configured to receive thermal energy and to reject the thermal energy into an external environment. The structure includes (i) multiple inline and interconnected thermomechanical regions and (ii) one or more thermal energy transfer devices embedded in at least some of the thermomechanical regions. The one or more thermal energy transfer devices are configured to transfer the thermal energy between different ones of the thermomechanical regions. At least one of the thermomechanical regions includes one or more shape-memory materials configured to cause a shape of the structure to change. The thermomechanical regions may include one or more heat input regions configured to receive the thermal energy, one or more heat rejection regions configured to reject the thermal energy into the external environment, and one or more morphable regions including the one or more shape-memory materials and configured to change shape.

CPC classification number: H05K3/465 , H05K3/4679
Abstract: A process of fabricating an electromagnetic circuit includes providing three laminate sheets, forming a first feature in a first laminate sheet of the three laminate sheets, and forming a second feature in a second laminate sheet of the three laminate sheets. The second feature is aligned with the first feature when aligning the second laminate sheet with the first laminate sheet. The process further includes stacking the three laminate sheets so that the first laminate sheet is positioned above and aligned with the second laminate sheet and the second laminate sheet is positioned above and aligned with the third laminate sheet. The first feature and the second feature define a contiguous element. The process further includes filling the contiguous element with an electrically conductive material to form an electrically continuous conductor.
