An area array connector (10) employs a flexible interconnect member (30) having electrical circuitry including contact pads (32) which are forced into electrical contact with conductive pads (42) and (52) on a pair of stacked substrates (40) and (50) by means of a canted coil spring (24) that is held in a force application plate (20).
1. A flexible area array connector for electrically connecting circuit pads on a pair of spaced substrates, said connector comprising:
a force application plate having a slot therethrough;
a spring member secured within said slot so as to extend beyond both surfaces of said plate;
a flexible interconnect member having conductive pads on a surface thereof;
said flexible member being folded around said force plate so that said conductive pads overlie said spring member on both surfaces of said plate; and
said flexible member and said force plate being disposed between substrates so that said conductive pads face circuit pads on the substrates.
2. The connector of claim 1 wherein said force application plate has insulative surfaces, and said flexible member is of insulative material.
3. The connector of claim 1 wherein said force application plate is laminated and the portion of said slot in each lamina is dimensioned to capture said spring when the lamination is completed.
4. The connector of claim 1 wherein said spring member is a canted coil spring having its long axis lying substantially along the long axis of said slot.
5. The connector of claim 1 wherein said conductive pads on said flexible member are interconnected by circuitry carried by said flexible member.
This invention relates to area array connectors, more particularly to a stacked area array connector having a flexible interconnect member.
Electrical connectors of the so-called stacking type are employed in the art to interconnect a pair of substrates having exposed circuit pads. Common among several prior art stacking connectors is the use of coil springs in a force application plate to urge circuit pads into electrical contact, either by direct contact or through intermediary members. For example, Kotaka disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,795,884 the use of an insulating block having coil springs embedded therein so as to extend outwardly from opposed surfaces of the block to engage conductors on parallel printed circuit boards. Later, Balsells in U.S. Pat. No. 4,655,462 taught the use of a coil spring wherein each coil is canted at an acute angle with the centerline of the spring so as to exert a constant force in a loading direction normal to the centerline over a substantial range of deflection.
In accordance with this invention, an area array connector employs a flexible interconnect member having electrical circuitry including contact pads which are forced into electrical contact with pads on a pair of stacked substrates by means of a canted coil spring that is held in a force application plate.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an area array connector of this invention with the member parts thereof shown in spaced relationship; and
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the member parts of FIG. 1 in stacked arrangement.
FIGS. 1 and 2 show a stacked area array connector 10 having a force application plate 20 engaged with a flexible interconnect member 30 and located between substrates 40 and 50.
Force application plate 20 has insulative exposed surfaces; either by virtue of plate 20 being of dielectric material or by plate 20 being of conductive material having an overcoat of an insulator such as polytetrafluoroethylene.
Plate 20 has a plurality of slots 22 therethrough with canted coil springs 24 captured within slots 22 to extend beyond both surfaces of the plate. The long axis of springs 24 lies substantially along the long axis of slots 22. Each slot 22 extends substantially the length of plate 20, and is dimensioned to provide a uniform mounting for a spring 24.
Springs 24 are of stainless steel, beryllium copper or other common spring materials that are produced in canted configuration by, among others, Bal Seal Engineering Co.. While canted coil springs are the preferred structure for springs 24, other material having spring-like properties are within the scope of this invention for less demanding embodiments.
Springs 24 are captured within slots 22 by known techniques, such as by heat staking when plate 20 is of a plastic material. Springs 24 may be of a shaped metal alloy which may be heated and collapsed into slots 22 with a zero insertion force. Capture of springs 24 within slots 22 is enhanced by laminating plate 20 and shaping the portion of slot 22 that is within each lamina, as shown in FIG. 2.
Flexible interconnect member 30 [which may be standard or impedance controlled] is made of a pliable insulative film material that is folded into a U-shaped configuration as shown in FIG. 1. Member 30 is provided with a plurality of conductive pads 32 by any of the techniques in common use in the plastic circuitry art, such as by providing film 30 with a metallic coating and thereafter etching away unwanted metallization to leave pads 32. The number and spacing of pads 32 are determined so as to mate with conductive pads on substrates 40 and 50. Pads 32 are preferably provided with thicker portions or bumps 34 in order to enhance the contact between pads 32 and the pads on substrates 40 and 50. It is to be emphasized that film 30 has pads 32 on both its top and bottom outside surfaces; although to avoid introducing confusion in the drawings, only FIG. 2 shows pads 32 on the outside bottom of film 30.
The folded U-shape of film member 30 facilitates establishing standard conductive circuitry that connects a pad 32 on the top surface of film 30 with a pad 32 on the bottom surface. The conductive circuitry may be applied on the inner bight of the U-shape; or in the preferred manner of prior art circuit constructions, film 30 is of laminated strata wherein one layer may carry the vias to the pads and another layer may carry the paths. All types of Controlled Impedance Structures are also possible.
Substrates 40 and 50 that are to be interconnected by the area array connector 10 of this invention may contain any of known circuitry; it being of importance to this invention only that the substrates be provided with surface pads 42 and 52, respectively. Substrates 40 and 50 may be sealed packages or they may be laminated circuit boards, so long as they are provided with contact pads 42 and 52.
In use, the area array connector 10 of this invention is assembled as shown in FIG. 2 with force application plate 20 positioned within U-shaped flexible connector member 30 so that pads 32 overlie springs 24. The assembly of plate 20 and film 30 is positioned between substrates 40 and 50. External pressure applied to force and to clamp substrates 40 and 50 into contact with connector film 30 is augmented by the pressure exerted by springs 24 being distorted and seeking to return to their original configuration. The flexibility of film 30 further serves to compensate for undulations in any of the contacting component parts, especially substrates 40 and 50.

Sajama National Park is a national park located in the Oruro Department, Bolivia. It borders Lauca National Park in Chile.
The park lies within the Central Andean dry puna ecoregion.[1] It features a spectacular Andean landscape, with elevations ranging from 4,200 to 6,542 metres (13,780 to 21,463 ft). It contains the snowy cone of the volcano Sajama, the highest mountain in Bolivia. The park also includes the Payachata volcanic group. On July 1, 2003, it was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List due to its universal cultural and natural significance.[2]
The reserve is jointly administered by park service officials and the indigenous people, the Aymara. It has proved an example of sustainable resource use and healthy tourism. As all protected areas in Bolivia are inhabited, nature conservation is not possible against the will of the local people. It is necessary to take their traditional rights, existing value systems and social organisation into account. Joint administration

An Oakland, Calif., man has been accused of perpetrating just about every hedge fund scam imaginable, allegedly stealing millions from his "clients."
The Securities and Exchange Commission has filed fraud charges against Edward Ehee, alleging, among other things, that he misappropriated investor funds, raised money for four years after shuttering his investment operations, produced phony documentation, including bogus audit statements, and ran a Ponzi scheme, to boot. Ehee's assets, as well as those of his wife, brother, father and "investment advisory firms," were frozen yesterday by a federal court in San Francisco.
"Ehee preyed on innocent investors, ranging from a neighbor who entrusted Ehee with his children's money to a senior who liquidated her life savings to invest in Ehee's funds," Helane Morrison of the SEC's San Francisco office said. "Today's court action confirms the willingness of the Commission to take emergency action when necessary to protect investors."
According to the SEC, Ehee's Viper Founders Fund—one of three funds he allegedly used in the scam—effectively ceased operations by the end of 2002. But Ehee allegedly whipped up a batch of fake account statements and financial reports to convince new investors to give him their money, which they did as recently as May of this year. Ehee then took the money and used it for his mortgage, car and vacation payments, and of course for fattening his—and his wife's, brother's and father's—bank accounts. At least, that's what he is accused of doing with the money not used to pay off earlier investors in the Ponzi scheme.

Madonna visits children's ward in Malawi
Pop diva Madonna, spending her fourth day in the southern African country of Malawi on Thursday, picked up ailing children and joked with them when she visited an overcrowded children's ward in Blantyre, the country's largest city.
Associated Press
Pop diva Madonna, spending her fourth day in the southern African country of Malawi on Thursday, picked up ailing children and joked with them when she visited an overcrowded children's ward in Blantyre, the country's largest city.
"Muli bwanji? (How are you?)" she greeted them in Malawi's main language, Chichewa.
Madonna, with her son, Rocco, went to Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital, which she has been supporting for five years through its chief pediatrician, Dr. Eric Borgstein.
"Eric Borgstein is a hero of mine" said Madonna. "He is doing a wonderful job."
The ward performs at least 500 surgeries per year on poor children, said Borgstein.
Madonna is the largest individual donor to the hospital and funds programs run by Borgstein that include treating children with cancer, said Trevor Neilson, president of the Global Philanthropy Group that is managing Madonna's projects in Malawi.
Born and raised in Malawi, Borgstein said he studied medicine at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands before to returning to his home country. Borgstein said he has been working in children's health for 15 years, treating up to 40 patients daily. Malawi has only three pediatric surgeons, said Borgstein.
He is currently a partner of Raising Malawi, the non-profit organization Madonna co-founded with Michael Berg in 2006 to help Malawian children.
On Friday, Madonna is scheduled to visit Consol Homes Orphan Care Centre, 50 kilometers (31 miles) outside the capital, Lilongwe.

Very nice!
Karen from Round Rock, TX– Verified Buyer
I love this shelving unit. It was fairly easy to put together and just looks great. My only complaint was that two corners were chipped, but only one shows and I am just going to use a wood pen to fill in the color. It wasn't catastrophic enough for me to call and wait for any replacement pieces. I like to think that it gives it character! It is sturdy and really does look good.
Narrower than I imagined
Miranda from Coffeyville, KS– Verified Buyer– Top 500 Reviewer
This bookcase construction is wonderful, but its narrower than I imagined. I know the dimensions are provided, but once its set up, the shelves wont hold much for the space.
Marcus from Washington, DC– Verified Buyer– Top 1000 Reviewer
I bought this bookcase along with some other pieces from the Series A collection. It is well constructed and easy to assemble. I would definitely recommend.
Looks great
Maureen from Bedford, TX– Verified Buyer– Top 50 Reviewer
Great product, great quality and very good price. We will be buying more of these thru Wayfair. Easy to assemble. Arrived in 2 days and in excellent condition.
sturdy shelving but shows dust really fast
Joshua from El Sobrante, CA– Verified Buyer
the dark grey color presents dust vividly - I didn't think of that! The shelves are strong and adjust up/down 3 to 4 positions except for the middle section - using that for display of awards.
good product, poor shipping
Ben from San Jose, CA– Verified Buyer
the product is good and sturdy, you do have to be carefully during assembly the back board can go on 2 ways and may only line up correctly in 1 configuration so double check before you start screwing it in or you may end up with a gap at the top.
Purchased Pewter colour
Lisa from Canada– Verified Buyer
It's ok - the colour isn't quite as warm as I was hoping. It's very sturdy and heavy in weight. It took my husband and son about 20 minutes to assemble.
sturdy quality
nik from york, pa
It is used to place medical charts on. It is sturdy as described and small enough for tight office space. Not fashionable in color though. It was easy to put together as well.
I would buy this product again.
No name from Grand Blanc, MI– Verified Buyer
Was not difficult to put together. My 12 year old assembled both bookcases himself. Good quality with solid back, not like some cheaper bookcases with no back or one made of veneer or pressboard.
get it organized !
jane from mercersburg pa– Verified Buyer
easy for one person to assemble, sturdy. good dimenions.

Hi southernx,
Thanks for contacting us today. We would be happy to help you find a new upgrade for your system. What is the processor speed of your iMac? Thanks for this information.
Best regards,
I apologise in advance, as I am not tech savvy, so my terminology might appear a bit agricultural. I plan to upgrade my Mac Pro to the latest OS available. I am currently running the most recent it will take (Snow Leopard 10.6.8) I understand installing more memory is straight forward enough but, what about upgrading the Hardrive? Is there any great advantage in replacing my existing HD with an SSD. I understand that this process is a bit more involved and requires tools and additional 'bits' to make the new SSD compatible with my Mac. I don't want to get all technical and have the fastest 'this' and the biggest 'that', I would just like to update my machiine and future proof it a bit. Any advice would be appreciated
Hi alphan,
I am sorry for the issues that you have experienced with your drive. At this point I would recommend contacting us directly so that we can help you with any trouble shooting and any questions you may have. Our contact information is in my signature. I am sorry for the inconvenience.
Best regards,
Hi ckelsey,
I am sorry for the issues that you have experienced trying to contact us. We respond to emails within 24 hours, so I am not sure why you did not receive a response. Please pm me your email address and I would be happy to check into this further.
Have you experienced any issues with the SSDs besides this error? This article can help clarify some of the most common misconceptions about SMART data. If you aren't experiencing any issues other than that message I would not worry about it. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
I have a DELL Studio XPS 16 (1645 with intel core i7 cpu), with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit preinstalled and updated to Service Pack 1, and
I recently upgraded my Western Digital HDD to a larger Solid State Crucial M500 480GB drive, (using
the crucial easy laptop install kit).
The laptop boots with the SSD drive now being the only drive installed.
I cloned the HDD, using the automatic procedure in Acronis TrueImage HD using a boot CD, however, the Windows Update in the newly
installed SSD does not function and gives the message "windows update cannot currently check for updates becuase the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer".
I previously tried all other combinations in cloning the HDD to SSD with Acronis TrueImage HD, to no avail.
The computer was checked for viruses and malware prior to the cloning procedure with Bitdefender Antivirus 2013 and is virus free.
Also, internet explorer is not downloading files from hyperlinks. It will display the option for save as, open, save but will
proceed and open the download dialog box when left-mouse-clicking on hyperlinks of files which I choose to download and will not
display the image format jpg when I right-mouse-click on an image link and choose save image as but display the options for png and
bmp only. I installed the Chrome browser which worked, the problem with internet explorer persists.
I give you a link to my windowsupdate.log file,
I consider the windows update malfunction to a be serious problem, thank you in advance for any assistance.

Ambitious Cumbrian teenager organises town centre markets
Last updated at 16:46, Friday, 04 July 2014
A teenager who has only just finished sitting exams is embarking on his latest challenge – organising a town centre market.
Sixteen-year-old Luke Johnston will see his hard work pay off a week tomorrow when the first of three extended markets takes place in Whitehaven.
The Whitehaven Academy student called the town's current market an "embarrassment" and said he wanted to revive the interest among traders and shoppers.
Luke, who launched the Visit Whitehaven website last year following the closure of the town's tourist information centre, has been involved in organising a shop local day. Unfortunately last year's event was unsuccessful due to a torrential downpour.
"The shop local day went terribly wrong because of the weather, so I thought I would give it one more go," said the teenager.
"Whitehaven market is dead. When I last walked through there was a man selling a few clothes and another couple of stalls. It is embarrassing as a lot of roads have to be closed for just three stalls."
As well as having around 15 stalls – all west Cumbrian traders – he has also organised entertainment, including dance groups and theatre performances for his three events.
Glitter Cumbria has also signed up to provide children's entertainment including face painting and mascots.
The feedback Luke has received from businesses and the public has been "fantastic" he said.
"People coming into the town for the market will give their custom to local businesses as well," added Luke.
Luke, who has just sat his GCSE exams, approached Copeland Council and has been working with them to arrange the markets.
He will also hold a raffle at the event – which will be drawn by Copeland MP Jamie Reed – and Luke is deciding which charity will benefit from the proceeds.
The other two markets will be held on August 9 and September 13.
Any traders interested in attending can contact Luke on 07927 983664. Stalls cost £10 each.

Obama's uncle in Massachusetts gets December deportation hearing
A federal immigration judge has scheduled a new deportation hearing granted last year to President Barack Obama's uncle.
Onyango Obama, the half brother of the president's late father, has lived in the U.S. since coming from Kenya as a teenager for school.
On Wednesday, Judge Leonard Shapiro set the new hearing for Dec. 3.
Obama, 68, was ordered deported in 1992 after he failed to renew an application to remain.
His status emerged when he was arrested in 2011 in Framingham, west of Boston, on a drunken driving charge. A judge continued that case for a year without a finding after Obama acknowledged prosecutors had enough evidence to convict him, but didn't plead guilty.
His lawyer, Scott Bratton, told reporters Wednesday, "Everybody wants to stay in America," and he hopes the December hearing will settle Obama's case.

There are three types of booster packs:
- 1-Figure Booster Pack - These contain one visible Pokémon figure.
- 2-Figure Booster Pack - These contain one visible Pokémon figure, one secret figure and one Trainer card.
- 3-Figure Booster Pack - These contain one visible Pokémon figure, one secret figure, one Diamond & Pearl promo figure and one Trainer card.
In Australia, booster packs contain two random Pokémon figures without bases.

Product description
John Perry did two things on his 75th birthday. First he visited his wife's grave. Then he joined the army. The good news is that humanity finally made it into interstellar space. The bad news is that planets fit to live on are scarce--and alien races willing to fight us for them are common. So: we fight. To defend Earth, and to stake our own claim to planetary real estate. Far from Earth, the war has been going on for decades: brutal, bloody, unyielding. Earth itself is a backwater. The bulk of humanity's resources are in the hands of the Colonial Defense Force. Everybody knows that when you reach retirement age, you can join the CDF. They don't want young people; they want people who carry the knowledge and skills of decades of living. You'll be taken off Earth and never allowed to return. You'll serve two years at the front. And if you survive, you'll be given a generous homestead stake of your own, on one of our hard-won colony planets. John Perry is taking that deal. He has only the vaguest idea what to expect. Because the actual fight, light-years from home, is far, far harder than he can imagine--and what he will become is far stranger.

Review quote
" Though a lot of SF writers are more or less efficiently continuing the tradition of Robert A. Heinlein, Scalzi' s astonishingly proficient first novel reads like an original work by the late grand master...This virtuoso debut pays tribute to SF' s past while showing that well-worn tropes still can have real zip when they' re approached with ingenuity." --"Publishers Weekly" (starred review) on "Old Man' s War" " Solid... [Scalzi] sidesteps most of the cliches of military science fiction, delivers fast-paced scenes of combat and pays attention to the science underpinning his premise." "--San Francisco Chronicle "on "Old Man' s War" " Thought-provoking!" --"Entertainment Weekly" on" Old Man' s War" " Smartly conceived and thoroughly entertaining, "Old Man' s War" is a splendid novel." - "Cleveland Plain Dealer" " Solid... [Scalzi] sidesteps most of the cliches of military science fiction, delivers fast-paced scenes of combat and pays attention to the science underpinning his premise." - "San Francisco"" Chronicle" on "Old Man' s War" "Gripping and surpassingly original. It's "Starship Troopers" without the lectures. It's "The Forever War" with better sex. It's funny, it's sad, and it's true." --Cory Doctorow on "Old Man' s War" "John Scalzi is a fresh and appealing new voice, and "Old Man's War" is classic SF seen from a modern perspective--a fast-paced tour of a daunting, hostile universe." --Robert Charles Wilson " I enjoyed "OldMan's War "immensely. A space war story with fast action, vivid characters, moral complexity and cool speculative physics, set in a future you "almost" want to live into, and a universe you sincerely hope you don't live in already." --Ken MacLeod

Revenge, Sacrifice, and Forgiveness
One of the most deep rooted and ancient tendencies human beings indulge in is the urge to take revenge against those that have caused them pain. This urge has a huge range and includes everything from an automatic reaction to hit back and a conscious premeditated plan of vengeful action. If you look closely at your life you will find incidents when you felt this urge and most likely took action, perhaps when you were a child or even more recently where it snuck up on you. Even older souls will find that the urge to take revenge sneaks up on them such as badmouthing someone who has been hurtful to them.

If tech stocks were Oscar-nominated films…

Who loves anything more in this world than Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) does its Android operating system?
Google doesn't just want our hearts. It wants our souls. It wasn't enough to dominate search and smartphones. No, it wants Android everywhere – in our homes, in our cars and offices, too.
With its stock at $1,156 a share, it can afford to buy anything and everything in sight, encroaching deeper into our homes and nesting in our brains.
And this fascination with robots, well, we see where this is all heading. In fairness, if we were engineers at Google, this is probably how we'd spend our time and the company's money, too. If we see a dead-eyed Scarlett Johansson wandering around the Google campus anytime soon, we'll know Google has officially crossed the line.
