Flex circuits are known by many names including flex boards, flex PCBs, flexible circuit boards, flexible printed circuit boards and, more officially, flexible electronics. You may think of flex ...

A team of researchers have developed the world's thinnest and lightest magnetic sensor matrix sheet system that visualizes the two-dimensional distribution of magnetism on various surfaces, with a ...

For reliability, designers must create flex circuits that are neither too thick nor bend too much. • Every flex circuit has a neutral-bend axis. • Smaller circuit thickness reduces the risk of damage ...

This post is a refresh on the basics of reading values from a flex sensor… A flex sensor, also called a bend sensor, can be used to detect a deflection by measuring the change in resistance that ...

Flexible electronics of one kind or another have been around for more than 20 years. What most now call flexible printed circuits (FPCs) are branching out to rigid-flex designs as well as highly ...

• A flexible printed circuit is as much a mechanical device as it is an electrical device. • The neutral bend axis may not be in the exact middle of the material stack. • The reliability of flexible ...

Stratos Optical Technologies now offers increased packaging density as a custom manufacturing option for its optical flex circuit products (see figure). The new optical flex circuit design is called ...

Though threading is a old concept in computer science, and fabric computing has been a term for about thirty years, the terminology has so far been more metaphorical than strictly descriptive. [Cedric ...
