Abstract: A flexible multilayer construction is configured for mounting an electronic device. The flexible multilayer construction includes electrically conductive spaced apart first and second pads for electrically connecting to corresponding electrically conductive first and second terminals of the electronic device. The first and second pads define a capillary groove therebetween that is at least partially filled with an electrically insulative reflective material by a capillary action.

Abstract: At least some aspects of the present disclosure direct to a flexible thermoelectric module. The thermoelectric module includes a flexible substrate, a plurality of p-type thermoelectric elements and a plurality of n-type thermoelectric elements, a first set of connectors, and a second set of connectors. The substrate includes a plurality of vias filled with an electrically conductive material or thermoelectric elements. In some cases, the plurality of p-type thermoelectric elements and the plurality of n-type thermoelectric elements are disposed on the flexible substrate.

Abstract: At least some aspects of the present disclosure direct to a thermoelectric tape. The thermoelectric tape comprises a substrate having a plurality of vias, a series of flexible thermoelectric modules connected in parallel, and two conductive buses running longitudinally along the thermoelectric tape. Each flexible thermoelectric module includes a plurality of p-type thermoelectric elements and a plurality of n-type thermoelectric elements. The series of flexible thermoelectric modules are electrically connected to the conductive buses.

Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring the status of air filters are provided. One or more thermoelectric sensors are provided to have an upstream sensing surface positioned adjacent the inlet surface of the air filter, and a downstream sensing surface positioned adjacent the outlet surface of the air filter. Sensing circuitry are connected to the thermoelectric sensors, configured to receive signals from the thermoelectric sensors and process the signals to obtain status information of the air filter.

Abstract: Flexible thermoelectric devices including an array of slot openings on a flexible substrate, and methods of making and using the same are provided. The slot openings on the flexible substrate can help remove the tension or compression induced during bending of the devices. Slot openings each extend along a cross direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the substrate.
