Publication number: 20240169140Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, devices, and computer program products are described. A group-based communication system may support automatic layout updates for a document space. If a user adds an object into the document space, the system may generate a card representing the object. The card may include a link to a resource external to the document space and a preview image for the object, where the preview image may be rendered based on unfurling the link. The system may update a layout of the document space to include the generated card and may send, for display in a user interface (UI) of a user device, the updated layout. In some examples, a user may select to reposition the card within the UI (e.g., by dragging-and-dropping the card within the document space). The system may further update the layout of the document space based on the repositioning of the card.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2022Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: Greg Joseph Gauthier, Aubrey Elizabeth Logan-Terry, James Barnes, Michael Hahn

Patent number: 8148808Abstract: Partitioning electronic sensor packages is provided. The electronic sensor package includes an electronic component, a sensor device, and electrical connections between the electronic component and the sensor device. A dam is written in the electronic sensor package to partition the package into two or more sections, where the sensor device is situated at least partially in one section and the electronic component is situated at least partially in another section. The partitioning of the dam allows the two sections to be filled with different fill materials. For example, the section with the sensor device can be filled with a soft gel-like material to provide some moisture protection to the sensor device without causing detrimental stresses to the sensor device, while the section with the electronic component can be filled with a highly moisture protective epoxy.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2008Date of Patent: April 3, 2012Assignee: LV Sensors, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey S.

Patent number: 7468556Abstract: Improved sensor packaging is provided with a hybrid integration approach. In one example, an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) for sensor signal conditioning is packaged. The ASIC package has an aperture in it that exposes a chip to chip bonding interface of the ASIC chip. The rest of the ASIC chip is surrounded by the package, including the connections between the external package leads and the ASIC chip. A sensor chip, also having a chip to chip bonding interface, is disposed in the package aperture and bonded to the ASIC chip such that the two chip to chip bonding interfaces are connected. Flip chip bonding of the sensor chip to the ASIC chip is a preferred approach for chip to chip bonding. The vertical gap between the two chips can be filled in by an underfill process. The lateral gap between the sensor chip and the package can also be filled.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2007Date of Patent: December 23, 2008Assignee: LV Sensors, Inc.Inventors: Elizabeth A.

Patent number: 6681392Abstract: Method and apparatus for remote peripheral software installation. A software system running in a local computer system used by a system administrator can install drivers, network utilities, and other peripheral software on a remote system connected to a network. The software system gathers system information from the remote system including the locations and names of system files. The software system also provides for the stopping and restarting of services which are associated with the peripheral software. In this way, installation can be completed without rebooting, or otherwise disrupting the operation of the remote system. Additionally, no special software is needed on the remote system, and no user need be logged into the remote system.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 1999Date of Patent: January 20, 2004Assignee: Lexmark International, Inc.Inventors: Clarence Terrance Henry, Lauren Elizabeth Logan, David Nolan Mattingly, Suzanne Marie Thompson

Patent number: 5275328Abstract: This method enables two components (1, 3) to be joined by soldering using heat generated by a laser beam, without the use of flux. A layer (5) of a material which has a lower melting point than the material of one of the components (3) is formed on that component and forms a bond therewith on resolidifying after melting. Solder (7) is interposed between the layer (5) and the other component (1) to form, on resolidification after melting, bonds with the material of the layer (5) and the other component (1). A coating (11) of a further material between the layer (5) and the solder (7) is dispersed when the adjacent layer material becomes molten and is not wetted by the solder (7) when molten. On applying heat to a region (15) of the layer using a laser beam, the layer is melted in this region (15) as is the adjacent solder (7) to form, on resolidification of the solder (7) and molten layer material (15 ), bonds between the solder (7) and the two components (1, 3).Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 1992Date of Patent: January 4, 1994Assignee: GEC-Marconi LimitedInventors: Lodge, Kevin J., Kevin Bass, Elizabeth A.
