Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a foldable circuit assembly 10 which has eight support members 11 having windows 12 in which circuits are bonded. The support members are all interconnected by a flexible polyimide web and an electrical circuit is etched thereon so as to interconnect the circuits and the external world via a contact tab extending from one of the support wafer members 11.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
A foldable assembly for a plurality of integrated circuits comprising: eight rigid support members shaped as quadrilaterals with two ninety degree internal angles, a forty-five degree internal angle and a one hundred thirty-five degree internal angle; means for flexibly joining the support members in a substantially circular configuration along the sides of the quadrilateral defining the forty-five degree internal angle such that each support member is joined directly to two other support members; means for attaching the plurality of integrated circuits to the support members; means for electrically interconnecting the integrated circuits; and means for providing electrical communication to the foldable assembly; said support members being capable of being folded together such that the integrated circuits lie in substantially parallel planes.
