Abstract: A data storage device (22) comprises a cross-point
memory array (25) formed on a dielectric substrate material (50), and comprising
first and second sets of transverse electrodes (502, 504) 
separated by a storage layer (75) including at least one semiconductor layer (72). The

Abstract: A holder 2 which holds a FPC 4 is coupled with a connector
1. The connector 1 includes a female housing 3 and a terminal
metal fitting 14. The female housing 3 houses the terminal
metal fitting 14. The terminal metal fitting 14 includes a
pair of contact pieces 20a and 20b. The holder 2 is inserted
in between the pair of contact pieces 20a and 20b. It is
assumed that a temperature change is ΔT, the linear expansion
coefficient of the holder 2 is βa, and the distance between
a first fixing portion C and a contact S is la. It is also
assumed that the linear expansion coefficient of the terminal
metal fitting 14 is βb, and the distance between a second
fixing portion and the contact S is lb. Assuming that the
elastic coefficient of the contact piece 20b is k, the static
friction coefficient between the conductor 5 of FPC 4 and
terminal metal fitting 14 is µ, and
the elastic restoring force of the contact piece 20b is F,
 ΔT x βa x la - ΔT x βb x lb ≤ 2 x (µ x F/k) 
In this way, even when the terminal metal fitting is down-sized
and formed with multi-poles and low insertion force of the
connector is realized, the connector can be surely
electrically connected to a complementary conductor.

Abstract: An overmolded electronic assembly 20 having an
electromagnetic interference shield 50, in the form of a thin metal film or foil,
coupled to the top of or within an overmolded body 33. The shield 50
effectively reduces the amount of electromagnetic interference ("EMI")
emissions from penetrating within the assembly to the circuit board 22 without
substantially increasing the cost of the unit. Thus, an electronic assembly
having improved vibration, moisture, and EMI emission resistance is achieved
as compared with traditional overmolded or metal assemblies. Further, because
the shield 50 can be formed on the electronic assembly in one continuous
processing step, a substantial savings in time and cost for the manufacturing
process is also realized.
