Abstract:
An electronics apparatus comprising:a plurality of electronics components each with at least one external electrical contact wherein the plurality of electronic components are positionable such that the electrical contacts may contact each other and electrical signals may pass between each of the plurality of electronic components; a feedback circuit incorporated into the plurality of electronic components, wherein the feedback circuit includes at least one of the external electrical contacts on each of the plurality of electronic components; a resistance measurement device in electrical contact with the feedback circuit which is employable to measure resistance over the feedback circuit and generate a control signal whose magnitude is indicative of the measured resistance over the feedback circuit; and at least one force actuator in connection with the plurality of electronic devices and electrical connection with the resistance measurement device such that a compressive force may be applied to the plurality of electronic components in response to receipt of the control signal.
