Appendix D 1 EXAMPLES OF DEVELOPMENTS IN BOW TECHNOLOGIES Various technologies have been developed for assembling complex circuits employing novel circuit and interconnect designs. Some objectives include attempts to minimize the interconnect lengths and make manufacturing reasonably simple, with the possibility of disassembly for repair and circuit changes Two of these are shown in the accompanying figures, D-1 and D-2, based on sketches furnished by TRW. 119
