Using Grubler's Criterion theory to position the electronic components in thermoformed electronics Ghent University
This paper aims to present a reliable approach for accurate component positioning in thermoformed electronics. We have proposed a non-stretchable conductive structure for accurate positioning of the electronic components, which can assure the conductive traces' mechanical stability during lamination and thermoforming of the substrate. We have verified our approach's accuracy by applying our method on a real industrial semi-sphere mold for ...
Methods to Improve Accuracy of Electronic Component Positioning in Thermoformed Electronics Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre
Three new methods for accurate electronic component positioning for thermoformed electronics are presented in this paper. To maintain the mechanical and electrical properties of printed-ink tracks, prevent deformation and stretching during thermoforming, and ensure reproducibility, the component positioning principle for all three proposed methods is based on keeping the temperature of some regions in the thermoplastic substrate less than the ...

Electronic devices which stretch like rubber bands: a holistic approach to materials and fabrication methods for stretchable electronics Hasselt University
This thesis revolves around a vision of electronic circuits which are mechanically soft and can be stretched and bent to certain degrees. These stretchable (soft) electronics first of all offer great advantages over the traditional, rigid devices with which we are surrounded in terms of integration: circuits and sensors that can stretch and bend can now be indiscernibly integrated on for instance textiles or the human skin. In general any ...
Plastic electronics based conformable electronic circuits Ghent University
In this contribution, results on technology developments are presented aiming to realize conformable electronic systems based on plastic electronics technologies. Focus of the developments is on low cost with an acceptable reliability in function of the end-application. The feasibility of this technology is demonstrated by digging into the different process steps and their characteristics. A number of demonstrators (large-area conformable ...
Modeling a Two-phase Microchannel Electronics Cooling System (Modellering van een tweefasen microkanaal elektronica koelsysteem) KU Leuven
Two-phase microchannel cooling is a promising high-performance cooling t echnique to cool next-generation electronic devices. The design of such a cooling system is nontrivial. To facilitate this design process, a dyn amic system model of a two-phase microchannel cooling system is construc ted in this work. In addition, an easy-to-use steady-state heat sink mod el is elaborated to obtain operational envelopes of two-phase microchann el heat ...
Time and Symbol Diversity: Techniques for implementing Electromagnetic Resilience in Electrical/ Electronic/ Programmable Electronic Systems KU Leuven
This PhD will take up the challenge of the strong reliance of autonomous systems on wireless communication. More specifically, this PhD aims at a virtual, model-based methodology to validate, with a high level of confidence, that the resulting behaviour of an autonomous systems remains as safe as possible, even when subject to severe electromagnetic disturbances. A high level of design confidence for safety means that numerous aspects have to be ...
