20100188220 | SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM - An alarm system is disclosed which notifies an owner when a personal item they have secured with the alarm system is moved or taken. The alarm system includes a notification device, wherein the notification device generates a notification output in response to being in an actuated state. The alarm system includes a switch coupled to the notification device, where the switch places the notification device in a non-actuated state in response to receiving pressure from an item to be secured. If the item being secured is moved or tampered with, a notification output is created which notifies the owner that their personal item may be in danger. The notification output can be an audible sound or a visible light or a signal to a cell phone or a wireless signal. | 07-29-2010 |

20110005813 | RIBBON CONNECTING ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS - Articles and methods of manufacture are provided for using laser energy in an automated bonding machine to effect laser welding of ribbons to electronic components, particularly conductive ribbons comprising titanium for microelectronic circuits. Bonding and connection of microelectronic circuits with discrete heating avoids heat damage to peripheral microelectronic components. Bonding of flexible materials and low-resistance materials are possible, and are less dependant on substrate and terminal stability in comparison to other bonding methods. The ribbon-connections can forgo the use of blocks, bond pads, and bond pad arrays for attaching ribbon to a printed wiring board. Profile height of the ribbon-connection is decreased and the density of ribbons and bonding sites can be increased compared to ribbon-connections employing bonding pads. | 01-13-2011 |
