I don't have any experience in updating a Rails app and when I google it, it shows only complex ways how to update Rails 2.x to 3.0.x. So my issue is a bit simpler.
So far I tried this:
- Edited the Gemfile and change to 3.0.5
- bundle install
Then in the related gemset you see all rails 3.0.5 and 3.0.3 gems.
- Is this the usual way?
- Should I remove all 3.0.3 gems?
- Is there a better way to update a rails app?

Quotes and Short Teachings
Talk to God!
by Darlene Osborne
Have yoiu been talking to God? I hope so. That is the only way you are going to get answers to the problems you are facing. Reading God's Word...and praying...which is simply, talking to HIM. Maybe you are going through some tough things. Maybe you feel God is not even real. Well, He is. I may not have the answer to all your problems. I may not always have the answers to my own problems, but God does! He is real and He will help you. Just ask.
~Thought for the Month~
God says—
wait on me and I will renew your strength.
Joy Through the Storm
by L. Joy Douglas
There is a question I have been pondering on for a while now. What is the difference between hope and faith? Out of curiosity, I asked my husband what he thought. His answer was fairly basic, but also pretty much on target. "Hope is wishing for something, and faith is believing it can and will happen."
Webster defines hope as "a feeling that what is wanted will happen; desire accompanied by expectation." Faith is defined as "unquestioning belief, complete trust or confidence."
The two very certainly work together, but they are different in and of themselves. Some say there can be hope without faith, but not true faith without hope. Hope works alongside faith even though it is not synonymous.
Leigh's Spiritual Garden
by Leigh Moran
So much has happened to me lately, it is truly amazing. God answered a prayer I have been praying for, for years now. Why at this time? I do not know, but I do knowGod does answer prayers in His timing, not ours.
Do you believe in Angels? I know when I taught in a Catholic School years ago, I was encouraged to believe in Guardian Angels. Being an Protestant, I was a bit, well, not quite sure.
Tell your mountain—

Hope Etc.
by Shelley Pierce
I recently sat on a swing with a friend at the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference. As we enjoyed some down time we listened to a Mockingbird sing. He perched on a tree and sang. Then he flew to the ground and sang.And he sat on a stump and, yes you're correct, he sang.If we weren't watching this one bird, we would have been sure we were listening to many different species.Each song so different.Each song so beautiful.I am home from the conference now but keep thinking about that bird.
Off BeatBrooksie
by Brooke Cox
One of the first things I noticed when I met my future husband was the cologne he was wearing. He ran out of it years ago and didn't remember what kind it was. To this day, I'm still trying to find it. When I go shopping, I sniff various colognes and have yet to come across it. Isn't it amazing how we react to fragrances? Sometimes they can tingle our senses and at other times they can give us headaches and even make us nauseous. Since we Americans spend so much money on perfume, I'd say we enjoy the bombardment of our senses. In 2012 we spent around $4.2 billion dollars on perfume. (5) In 2014 we spent around $6.2 billion dollars. Around $29 billion was spent on perfume globally. (6)
SnapShots of Grace
Life Everlasting: The Other Dash
I have been to too many funerals this year, three in the pass month, a classmate, a cousin, and an uncle. Rene is gone too soon. A twirler in high school she was friends with the all-state football player, straight-A student and the class clown. Unless you were a bully or tortured animals, she was your friend. My cousin Karen was a fighter and a straight-shooter. She helped me get my first job at Dairy Queen. She also taught me a lot about work place relations. Uncle Bubba raised by an alcoholic father, was determined his children would not be raised in that manner. To make things worse it's been a little over a year since my mom passed away. The pastor smiles and says we here to celebrate a life, but it is a sad celebration. Yes they are in a better place, but we miss them. I told Bubba's son this is a bad time, you just have to grind through it. Unless the Lord returns, death waits for us all.
Am I Paying Attention? Being Vigilant
by Craig D. Lounsbrough, M.Div., LPC
Am I paying attention? As this thing called life moves 'round about me, and I move 'round about within it, am I paying attention to it all? Am I paying attention, or have I unwittingly confused a host of other behaviors and habits as paying attention? Am I paying attention, or have I adopted certain views or biases as ready templates that I slap on life in order to explain it, instead of paying attention in order to understand it? Am I paying attention, or has my cadence been set by the stale monotony of habit or the demands of life that are so intrusive that I can't pay attention? Am I paying attention?
We can certainly 'exist' without paying attention, despite the rather dangerous and somewhat spurious nature of such an existence. But that does not and cannot wave off the larger question that we too often avoid; can I actually 'live' without paying attention?
Paying Attention to Live Fully
It's my sense that most of us want to move through life and actually 'live' life as we move through it. There appears to be a seemingly endless litany of people who look at life once it's blown-by and ask what they've really gotten out of it as it blew by. Too many people look over their shoulders and see a whole lot of life behind them, without a whole lot of anything in their hands to show for everything that's behind them. They then turn and they peer with longing eyes into the future. And in the peering, they don't see enough life left ahead of them to ever make up for what got by them. As massive and robust as life is, it got by us and we didn't even see it in the passing.
It seems that far too often we don't really pay attention. We think we pay attention. We most certainly believe that we pay attention. We would look in the mirror and tell ourselves that we're quite observant and fairly sharp. We feel that we're astute and keen in discerning life as it's coming at us. We watch a myriad of things unfold and applaud ourselves for figuring out that they were unfolding long before they showed up to unfold. We've come this far and we quite naturally assume that we must have paid some degree of attention in order to get this far. Most of us feel that we're paying attention. But are we paying attention, or are we doing other things that mimic paying attention?
Habit Verses Paying Attention
But how often are we simply caught in worn-out patterns of behaviors that have nothing to do with paying attention and everything to do with habit? How often are we simply habitually reactionary, doing in this particular instance in what we've done in every other instance that came before it? We think that we're paying attention when what we're doing is paying homage to mindless repetition, slothfully assuming that since this response worked before it will work again. Habit makes the heart comatose because the heart doesn't have to pay attention anymore.
Habit is a whole lot easier than paying attention. For those of us who prefer ease over advancement, habit will address the problem with a whole lot less energy and significantly less time than paying attention would demand of us. Habit is the soul on autopilot, where we have the richness of life fly right by us without a single inking that something is now fading in the rearview mirror that we never even saw out of the front window. Fundamentally, habit demands nothing of us other than we remember what the habit is so that we can repeat it. continue

"LSN Mobile has already created a solid offering to serve these consumers. We will build on this foundation to continue to provide unique ways for local media and advertisers to engage consumers on their mobile devices, in the process demonstrating the power of local mobile media."

As the unofficial kickoff to the holiday shopping season approaches, new data released today by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)® shows that the average U.S. adult plans to spend $218 between Thursday and Monday. The survey also found half of consumers say the impending "fiscal cliff" will impact their holiday spending.
CEA's Pre-Black Friday Survey found that 60 percent of U.S. adults plan to shop Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, through Cyber Monday, with Black Friday expected to be the busiest shopping day of the weekend. Overall, 37 percent of U.S. adults plan to shop this Friday, with one-third (33 percent) going to a retail store and 20 percent shopping online. Saturday and Cyber Monday will be the next most popular shopping days of the weekend, with more than a third (34 percent) of adults planning to shop on Saturday and a quarter (25 percent) will go in-store or online on Monday.
Most shoppers (57 percent) will end up purchasing at least one gift this weekend, an increase of 10 percent from last year. The average adult will spend, on average, $218 Thursday through Monday, up from $159 in 2011. Consumers plan to spend $842 on all gifts this year, according to CEA's 19th Annual CE Holiday Purchase Patterns Study.
"The 2012 Thanksgiving weekend has the potential to be the biggest shopping weekend on record," said Shawn DuBravac, CEA's chief economist and senior director of research. "A full 66 percent of shoppers haven't completed any of their holiday shopping, but on average, by the end of the weekend, consumers expect to have completed some 30 percent of their holiday shopping."
While tablets and smartphones will be the most wanted gifts this year, shoppers who already own these devices will be using them to help find that perfect gift. Overall, 69 percent of U.S. adults will use a mobile connected device, like a smartphone, tablet or cell phone, while shopping or to research gifts this weekend. Nearly half (47 percent) will use the device to get more information on products, both before going to the store and while in the store, 44 percent will use them to comparison shop and 39 percent will use their mobile device to look up retailer information, such as a store's location or hours.
Most consumers believe they'll get a good deal this weekend. CEA's holiday research found that 81 percent of consumers think Thanksgiving weekend deals will be as good as or better than last year's holiday. The most popular way for consumers to learn about sales and discounts this weekend will be through various advertisements. More than half of consumers (54 percent) will learn about deals through circulars or ads in the mail, 53 percent will find deals through newspaper ads and 52 percent will learn of deals by watching TV commercials. Word of mouth will also be popular, with 52 percent of consumers finding out about deals and sales from their friends and family.
Not all of the research results point to completely positive results this weekend however. More than half (51 percent) of those surveyed said the risk of the fiscal cliff will negatively impact their overall spending this holiday season as well as the amount of money they spend on gifts. Eighteen percent of respondents said the fiscal cliff was going to have a large impact on their overall spending this holiday.
As consumers head to stores and go online this holiday weekend, there are some tips they should keep in mind, according to DuBravac:
- 1. Start Today: While the Black Friday shopping weekend will officially kick off on Thursday, many retailers are starting promotions early and some are even extending Black Friday pricing promotions for the entire week.
- 2. Consider Going Online, Especially on Thursday: Many retailers are offering their Black Friday deals online. If you want to avoid crowds, online may be your best bet.
- 3. Plan Ahead: Nearly every retailer, both online and in-store, will have Black Friday promotions this weekend. Spend some time researching what you want and what different retailers have to offer. Download in advance popular apps you may want to have on hand while shopping.
- 4. Make a List: Making a list will keep you on track and ensure you get everything you intended to get. Your list should include exact model numbers for the items you plan to buy. We expect there will be more than 200 promotions for tablet computers this weekend. If there is a specific model you plan to buy, ensure you know the model or SKU number so you get what you want. To be safe, bring the ads with you, either physically or download copies onto your smartphone or tablet.
- 5. Charge Your Smartphone: Most of us will be turning to our smartphones this weekend to help us shop. Don't be left out because you failed to charge your phone in advance.
- 6. Go After What You Want Most First: While retail inventory levels heading into the weekend are looking healthy, many deals will have limited quantities or will be for a limited time so you'll want to make sure you get them before supplies run out.
- 7. Not Sure What to Buy, Think Tech: If you are unsure what to get, look at the items that are dominating others' planned purchase lists: tablet computers, mobile phones and televisions. Tablets will be the most purchased item in any shopping category and technology will rival clothing as the most frequently purchased category this weekend.
- 8. Be Kind: Black Friday weekend can be a frenzy. While the deals you'll see this weekend are some of the best you'll find the entire year, patience will be a virtue. It will be the busiest shopping weekend in history. Each year, retailers work to provide an improved consumer experience, but expect the unexpected to occur.
CEA plans to release results from its Post Black Friday Survey on Saturday, November 24, the day after Black Friday. CEA's Shawn DuBravac will also host an analyst call on Sunday, November 25 at Noon ET/9am PT. To participate in that call, please dial 1-866-214-0726. The passcode is 794838. On the call, DuBravac will discuss highlights from Black Friday, including how much money consumers spent, what they purchased and where they shopped. DuBravac will also discuss, in more detail, the impact of the fiscal cliff on holiday shopping. For more information, email Steve Kidera at [email protected]. CEA will also host a webinar on Tuesday, November 27 at 2pm ET/11am PT. For more information and to register, click here.
CEA's Pre-Black Friday Survey was designed and formulated by the Consumer Electronics Association. It represents the findings of a quantitative study administered via telephone interview between November 15 and 18, 2012 to two national probability samples, which, when combined, consists of 1,003 U.S. adults. 653 interviews were conducted by landline phone, and 350 interviews were conducted by cell phone. The margin of sampling error at 95 percent confidence for aggregate results is +/- 3.1 percent. Please cite any information to the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)®.

This is a Division of application Ser. No. 07/995,665, filed Dec. 21, 1992, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,403,782.
This invention is in the field of integrated circuits, and more specifically is directed to the packaging of integrated circuits.
Portability has become commonplace in the field of electronic systems. For example, laptop or notebook-size computers are now commonly used, as are portable communications systems such as cellular telephones and cellular facsimile machines. As is evident to those in the art, portability of an electronic system is maximized when the circuit boards are as small and as densely populated with circuits as possible. Portability also generally requires the installation of batteries on the circuit boards, for use as primary or backup power sources.
The use of battery backup power sources has also become common in non-portable electronic systems. For example, many personal computers and workstations include battery-powered memory for purposes of maintaining an integral clock or calendar function. Such non-portable electronic systems also benefit from small form factor and densely populated circuit boards.
Modern electronic assembly technology utilizes surface mountable integrated circuit packages for high density populating of circuit boards. The leads of surface mountable packages are of such shape and size that they may be soldered to the surface of a circuit board by way of a solder reflow process, in contrast to the leads of dual-in-line packages ("DIP") which extend through holes in the circuit board for solder-connection on the reverse side. Surface mounting increases the population density of the circuit board because only traces on the surface of the board (rather than throughout the board) need be dedicated for connection to the integrated circuit. In addition, the size of the package may be reduced greatly from that required for a DIP package for the same circuit, especially where the number of leads extending from the circuit is large. Surface mount technology thus allows the form factor of the circuit board to be greatly reduced from that achievable for the same electronic function utilizing DIP circuit packages.
Conventional surface mountable integrated circuit packages exist in various forms. Ceramic hermetically sealed surface mountable packages generally are of the leadless chip-carrier type, or alternatively have solder bump or solder ball leads. Plastic encapsulated or molded surface mountable packages may be of the leaded chip carrier type, with J-leads or with flat leads extending from the body of the package.
Conventional surface mounting technology attaches the integrated circuit packages to the circuit board by way of a solder reflow process where the solder flows adjacent to the circuit package itself, rather than on the other side of the circuit board from the circuit package. As such, the temperature to which the surface mountable circuit package is exposed in solder reflow is significantly greater than that to which a DIP package is exposed in its mounting to a circuit board. While brief exposure to such a high temperature (from 180� C. to as high as 230� C.) is not believed to significantly degrade circuit reliability, such high temperature exposure has been observed to seriously degrade batteries, such as conventional lithium or silver-zinc type cells.
Because of this temperature degradation of conventional batteries, it has been heretofore impractical, if not impossible, to reliably integrate a battery into a surface mountable integrated circuit package. As such, according to conventional packaging technology, batteries must be inserted into battery-powered circuits in surface mount applications after solder reflow mounting of the integrated circuit package to the circuit board, complicating and increasing the cost of manufacture of the electronic system.
By way of further background, DIP packages have been produced which include a battery integrated therewithin, due to the reduced temperatures to which the DIP circuit package is exposed during soldering (the intervening circuit board being a thermal insulator).
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a surface mountable integrated circuit package within which a battery may be integrated and which can withstand the temperature excursion of the solder reflow process.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide such a package of the molded encapsulated type.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide such a package of the hermetically sealed type.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method of fabricating such a package.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art having reference to the following specification together with the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional elevation view of an integrated circuit package according to a first embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional plan view of the integrated circuit package of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional elevation view of an integrated circuit package according to a second embodiment of the invention.
FIGS. 4 and 5 are cross-sectional views of an integrated circuit package according to alternative embodiments of the invention.
The present invention may be incorporated into a surface mountable integrated circuit package of either the plastic encapsulated or the ceramic type. Battery connection leads are disposed on the opposite side of the package body from its leads, and provide electrical connection to a conventional battery or cell disposed therebetween, and to the chip mounted within the package. Standoffs, formed of a material with poor thermal conductivity, may be provided to support the cell in a spaced-apart manner from the package body. As a result of the leads and standoffs, an air gap is provided between much of the cell and the circuit package; alternatively, a thermally insulative (or resisitive) material may surround the cell. An enclosure covers the cell, which may also have thermally resistive standoffs to space the cell from the enclosure. The gap between the cell and the circuit package protect the cell from the extreme temperatures to which the circuit package is exposed during solder reflow mounting.
Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 2, integrated circuit package 10 according to a first embodiment of the invention will now be described in detail. Package 10 is of the ceramic hermetically sealed type, and as such includes header 12, fabricated of a ceramic material, onto which chip 14 is attached by way of conventional conductive epoxy or eutectic mount. Bond wires 16 connect leads (not shown) of header 12 to chip 14 in the conventional manner. Lid 17 covers the cavity of header 12 within which chip 14 is mounted; in the example of FIG. 1, lid 17 is of the metal type and is soldered onto header 12. Alternatively, lid 17 may be of the ceramic type, in which case the sealing of the package is performed by conventional glass reflow techniques. Solder bumps 18 connected to and correspond to leads of the integrated circuit packaged therewithin, and are of the type that enables package 10 to be surface mountable to a circuit board. Alternatively, package 10 may be of the leadless chip carrier type, in which case no such solder bumps 18 are provided.
The function provided by chip 14 may be of any type for which battery power or backup is useful. For example, chip 14 may be a memory circuit, such as a CMOS static RAM, for which battery backup power is useful in retention of stored data. Alternatively, chip 14 may embody a functional circuit, such as a timer or data processing circuit, for which battery backup power is useful in enabling certain operations.
According to this embodiment of the invention, cell 20 is mounted integrally within package 10 on the opposite side of header 12 from solder bumps 18. Cell 20 is of conventional type, such as the lithium or silver-zinc types. In this embodiment of the invention, lower battery lead 22 extends from header 12, and is in contact with the negative side of cell 20. Referring to FIG. 2, lower battery lead 22 is in contact with connection tab 21 at the surface of header 12, tab 21 being a gold-plated land similar to an external land of a leadless chip-carrier. Lower battery lead 22 may be attached to tab 21 by way of welding or another conventional method. Tab 21 is in electrical communication with chip 14 via a bond wire 16, allowing the negative side of cell 20 to bias chip 14.
Lower and upper battery leads 22, 24 are generally welded to cell 20 prior to its installation into package 10. As such, the attachment of leads 22, 24 to tabs 21, 23, respectively, results in the installation of cell 20 into package 10.
In order to minimize thermal conduction through battery lead 22 from header 12 to cell 20 (such thermal conduction necessary to some extent since lower battery lead 22 must be electrically conductive), it is preferable to minimize the width of lower battery lead 22 (in the plan view of FIG. 2), and also its thickness (in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 1). In addition, the material of lower battery lead 22 should be selected to provide the necessary electrical conduction with minimal thermal conduction. For example, lower battery lead 22 may be formed of stainless steel, having a thickness of on the order of 5 mils and a width of 10 mils.
Lower standoffs 26 extend from the top surface of header 12 to provide structural support to cell 20. It is preferred that at least three points of contact be provided to support cell 20 from header 12. Accordingly, two lower standoffs 26 are provided, as shown in shadow in FIG. 2, so that the combination of lower battery lead 22 and lower standoffs 26 provides stable support for cell 20 from the surface of header 12. Lower standoffs 26 are preferably formed of a material with low thermal conductivity, such as glass or other ceramic material, attached by way of a non-conductive epoxy to the surface of header 12.
Similarly, upper battery lead 24 makes electrical connection between header 12 and the positive side of cell 20. Upper battery lead 24 is similarly welded or otherwise connected to tab 23 in the installation of cell 20 into package 10. Upper battery lead 24 is of the same material and substantially the same dimensions as lower battery lead 22, to minimize the thermal conduction therethrough while still maintaining electrical connection between cell 20 and chip 14.
Housing 30 is provided in package 10 according to this embodiment of the invention, to provide mechanical and environmental protection for cell 20 and battery leads 22, 24. Housing 30 may be of a thermally insulating material, such as a plastic resin or polyester glass, and is formed to the appropriate size and shape by conventional processes such as injection molding. Housing 30 is attached to the edges of header 12 by way of conventional epoxy. Upper standoffs 28 extend from the inner surface of housing 30 and provide stable support for cell 20 from the inner surface of housing 30. Where housing 30 is formed by way of molding, upper standoffs 28 may be molded integrally as part of housing 30, of the same thermally resistive or insulating material.
As a result of the combination of lower battery lead 22 and lower standoffs 26, cell 20 is spaced apart from the surface of header 12 by a distance d1, as shown in FIG. 1. Similarly, as a result of the combination of upper battery lead 24 and upper standoffs 26, cell 20 is spaced apart from housing 30 by a distance du. The distances d1, du are contemplated to be on the order of 5 to 15 mils, but of course may vary according to a tradeoff between package height, on one hand, and thermal insulation on the other. This separation results in an air gap between header 12 and cell 20, and between housing 30 and cell 20, providing a high degree of thermal insulation surrounding cell 20. This thermal insulation allows for cell 20 to remain relatively cool during solder reflow, minimizing or eliminating degradation of its characteristics.
Referring to FIG. 4, package 10' according to another alternative embodiment of the invention is illustrated in which a thermally resistive or insulative material, such as an epoxy, may be inserted into the cavity surrounding cell 20. In this case, cell 20 will be thermally insulated by the inserted material 50 rather than by the air gap, to maintain a relatively cool temperature during solder reflow.
Referring to FIG. 5, package 10" according to another alternative embodiment of the invention is illustrated, in which battery leads 22, 24 are of sufficient strength, when attached to tabs 21, 23, to support cell 20 above header 12 without requiring lower standoffs 26 and upper standoffs 28. In this case, it may be preferable to have wider battery leads 22, 24, such as on the order of 25 mils.
As a result of the present invention, therefore, package 10 enables the integration of cell 20 into package 10 in component form, prior to its surface mounting to a circuit board, eliminating the necessity and cost of subsequently installing cell 20 thereinto. Higher quality and reliability electronic systems, manufactured at a lower cost, thus results from the present invention.
In fabrication, it is contemplated that package 10 will be formed by first mounting chip 14 to header 12 in the conventional manner, followed by the bond operation for placing bond wires 16 to connect header 12 and chip 14. This operation is then followed by sealing of lid 17 over chip 14. Lower standoffs 26 are also attached to header 12, either prior to or after the mounting of chip 14 thereto.
As noted above, battery leads 22, 24 are welded or otherwise connected to cell 20 prior to its installation into package 10. Cell 20 is then installed by attaching lower battery lead 22 and upper battery lead 24 to tabs 21 and 23, with cell 20 supported by lower standoffs 26 as necessary. If solder bumps 18 are provided, bumps 18 are then formed in the conventional manner. Housing 30 may then be epoxied to header 12, providing environmental protection to cell 20, as well as structural support thereto via standoffs 28.
Referring now to FIG. 3, a second embodiment of the invention will now be described relative to surface mountable integrated circuit package 40 of the type referred to as a J-lead plastic encapsulated chip carrier. Like elements will be referred to in FIG. 3 with the same reference numerals as used in FIGS. 1 and 2, for purposes of clarity.
In the embodiment of FIG. 3, chip 14 is mounted to die attach 46 which is part of lead frame 44. Lead frame 44 is of conventional type for plastic J-lead chip carriers, and thus generally has its die attach 46 offset from the plane of its internal leads to reduce the severity of the angle of bond wires 16. Package body 42 is, in this embodiment of the invention, provided by plastic mold compound injection molded around chip 14 after its mounting and wire-bonding to lead frame 44. Such injection molding is of the conventional type for plastic encapsulated integrated circuits. After molding, in this example, the leads of lead frame 44 are bent in the conventional J-shape, as shown in FIG. 4. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, lower standoffs 46 extend from package body 42, and are formed in the injection molding process used to form package body 42. As in the ceramic case described hereinabove, lower standoffs 46 are preferably located to provide at least three-point support (considering lower battery lead 22 as one point of support) for cell 20.
Cell 20 is disposed between lower and upper battery leads 22, 24 in similar manner as described hereinabove relative to FIG. 1. As in the case described hereinabove, lower and upper battery leads 22, 24 are attached, such as by welding, to cell 20 prior to its installation into package 40. The size and material for lower and upper battery leads 22, 24 is preferably the same as in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2 described hereinabove, to provide the desired electrical connection with minimal thermal conduction. In fabrication, cell 20 will be attached by attaching battery leads 22, 24 to tabs or lands extending from package body 42 after its molding, in such a manner that cell 20 is supported by lower standoffs 26. Housing 30, also preferably formed by injection molding to include upper standoffs 28, is then placed over cell 20, and attached to package body 42 by conventional epoxy bonding. Upper standoffs 28, in combination with upper battery lead 24, thus provide stable structural support for cell 20 in package 40.
As in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2, the construction of package 40 according to the embodiment of FIG. 3 provides an air gap between cell 20 and package body 42, and between cell 20 and housing 30. This air gap similarly provides sufficient thermal insulation that cell 20 is not exposed to the temperature of solder reflow mounting of surface mountable package 40 to a circuit board. Alternatively, as in the prior case, the gap may be filled with a low thermal conductivity material. As such, cell 20 is integrated into package 40 prior to circuit board assembly, eliminating the need for an additional manufacturing operation of insertion of a battery into the package after its mounting to the circuit board.
While the invention has been described herein relative to its preferred embodiments, it is of course contemplated that modifications of, and alternatives to, these embodiments, such modifications and alternatives obtaining the advantages and benefits of this invention, will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art having reference to this specification and its drawings. It is contemplated that such modifications and alternatives are within the scope of this invention as subsequently claimed herein.
