What is "Lumped connected circuit"?

Question

I found this term in the book:

'Linear Circuit Analysis - Time Domain, Phasor, and Laplace Transform Approaches'

by Raymond A. DeCarlo, Pen-Min Lin

Here is what http://www.freepatentsonline.com/6170154.html said
"A novel circuit packaging structure including a combination of printed lumped elements within a multi-layer stripline architecture is provided and methods of making the same. The lumped elements are provided by printing the individual passive elements, including interdigital capacitors and spiral inductors, onto the supporting substrate and then embedding these elements into the multi-layer stripline structure. The stripline structure consists of a signal layer sandwiched between at least two ground layers separated by two dielectric substrates of equal thickness. This ground-signal-ground approach confines the electromagnetic fields within the multi-layer structure, thereby minimizing radiation from coupling to nearby components. This approach offers a unique combination of stripline technology and printed lumped elements resulting in miniaturized radio frequency and microwave circuits at operating at frequencies well below 1 GHz, up to several GHz.

I hope this helps I don't know anything about it, but I hope this is what you are looking for.

It begins with a 'what' and ends with a question mark, how can it not be a question you Muppet?

Sorry, I don't know the answer to this, but that other person was being mean, and there's no need for it.
