concerns. Kurwa will discuss sub- strate advances like stretchable con- ductive fabrics, interconnects, new sensor technology including printed sensors (ECG) and OLED, assembly concerns for flexible conductive adhe- sive and nano-sintering, and encap- sulation techniques such as low pres- sure molding and water proof coat- ing. New equipment like R2R print- ing and assembly, fabric laser cut- ting, and ultrasonic welding on fabric will be discussed. The presentation will also address how reliability test- ing has adapted with flexibility test- ing, washability, salt spray, and sweat testing. Reza Ghaffarian Ph.D., Jet Propulsion Laboratory, will chair the session.


For the concurrent Harsh


Environment Symposium Keynote Lunch, Jim Springer, Vice President of Quality at John Deere Electronic Solutions, will present “Extreme Environment Electronics — Where We’ve Been, Where We Are Going and What Could Be Next.” Jim will provide a genesis and the evolution of electronics designed for use in harsh physical and electrical envi- ronments, particularly those used in farming and automotive industries. Examples of ruggedization protocols will be discussed. Pradeep Lall, Ph.D., Auburn University, will chair the session. Conference registration is required to attend the Evolving
