Electronica 2008 Munich - Go and play the Fish

...stand B1.442 and see embedded component technology in action, seriously the demonstration of active embedded RFID in PCB is both entertaining and informative. Active & Passive components embedded in a PCB has been the “holy grail” of PCB roadmaps for many years. Using interposer elements that connect the components to the PCB using PTH and micro via technologies the opportunity for circuit integration at a very high level is possible. Schweitzer is the name iBoard is the game......or Fish.

On another note Würth is showing strain gauges and sensor technology using well known PCB technologies, principally printed polymer on laminate. The applications for this technology is wide and varied, showing that a variable feedback mechanism can be built into a PCB. Go take a look and have a brain feed.
