Beyond the Rulebook
What happens when the rule book is no longer useful, or worse, was never written in the first place? In today’s fast-moving electronics landscape, we’re increasingly asked to design and build what has no precedent, no proven path, and no tidy checklist to follow. This is where “Design for Invention” begins.
March Madness
From the growing role of AI in design tools to the challenge of managing cumulative tolerances, these articles in this issue examine the technical details, design choices, and manufacturing considerations that determine whether a board works as intended.
Looking Forward to APEX EXPO 2026
I-Connect007 Magazine previews APEX EXPO 2026, covering everything from the show floor to the technical conference. For PCB designers, we move past the dreaded auto-router and spotlight AI design tools that actually matter.

Cicor Technologies Ltd. shareholders approved all proposals at the Extraordinary General Meeting of Cicor Technologies Ltd. on July 16, 2021. The Board of Directors was also informed that the closing of the share purchase agreement between HEB Swiss Investment AG and OEP 80 B.V. has taken place.
At the Extraordinary General Meeting of Cicor Technologies Ltd. at which, due to the ongoing corona pandemic, shareholders could only exercise their voting rights by means of a proxy and instructions to the independent proxy, the shareholders approved all proposals. The meeting elected Ms. Norma Corio and Mr. Konstantin Ryzhkov as new members of the Board of Directors. Mr. Konstantin Ryzhkov was also elected as a new member of the Remuneration Committee.
Furthermore, the proposal to increase the total remuneration of the Board of Directors, due to the increase of the number of members of the Board of Directors from four to five, was approved. The independent proxy Etude Athemis, Rue Jaquet-Droz 32, 2300 La Chaux-de-Fonds, was also elected for the term of office up to and including the next Annual General Meeting.
The Board of Directors was informed on Friday July 16, 2021 that the closing of the share purchase agreement between HEB Swiss Investment AG, Zurich, Switzerland, and OEP 80 B.V., Amsterdam, The Netherlands, has taken place. Dr. Rüdiger Merz, the representative of the previous major shareholder HEB Swiss Investment AG, has therefore resigned from the Board of Directors of Cicor Technologies Ltd. as announced.
In the constitutive meeting of the Board of Directors, which also took place on July 16, 2021, it was noted that with the execution of the share purchase agreement the condition precedent for the elections of Ms. Norma Corio and Mr. Konstantin Ryzhkov is fulfilled. Additionally, Ms. Norma Corio was admitted to the Audit Committee at the constituent Board meeting.
The Board of Directors expresses its sincere thanks to Dr. Rüdiger Merz for his commitment and to HEB Swiss Investment AG for its longstanding commitment to Cicor. It also extends a warm welcome to the newly elected Board members Norma Corio and Konstantin Ryzhkov.

Rethinking Stackup, Materials, and Tolerances in Modern Designs
05/14/2026 | Kristin Moyer, Global Electronics AssociationThe simple rectangular rigid PCB is becoming increasingly infrequent. This reality necessitates designing with concepts well outside traditional rigid PCB methodologies. For example, the designer of wearable electronics may need to implement conductive fibers integrated into the textile material. Heads-up displays, like those in VR/AR headsets and glasses, require transparent circuitry etched into the display glass. The process of designing without a rule book usually starts with something other than the traditional board design process.
Separating Fact from Fear on the FCC ‘China Lab Ban’
05/14/2026 | Jan Pedersen, NCAB GroupRecent news headlines have suggested that the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has “banned all testing laboratories in China and Hong Kong.” Understandably, this has created concerns around PCB testing, material approvals, UL listings, and the continued use of established test laboratories in Asia. The good news is that for most PCB, PCB material, and PCBA testing, nothing has changed. Let’s separate fact from fear.
