  • Publication number: 20240145405
    Abstract: Semiconductor devices with a conformal coating in contact with a ground plane at a bottom side of the semiconductor devices and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a semiconductor die coupled to a first surface of a package substrate. The semiconductor device can also include a molded material covering at least a portion of the package substrate and the semiconductor die. The semiconductor device can also include a ground plane in the package substrate and exposed through an opening in a second surface of the package substrate opposite the first surface. The semiconductor device can also include a conformal coating coupled to the ground plane through the opening that can shield the semiconductor device from electromagnetic interference.

  • Patent number: 5205195
    Abstract: An oil filter recycler for severing the casing of an automotive oil filter, for separating the filter into its components for recycling, and for removing engine waste oil for environmentally safe disposal, characterized by a turntable for rotating a cylindrically shaped filter about its' axis and a knife for severing the casing of the filter as it is rotated. The turntable is rotatable either manually or automatically. The knife is radially adjustable relative to the axis of the turntable. A releasable ratchet pawl spring biased for engagement with a rotatable threaded rod on a slidable knife holder provides for slidable, rotatable adjustment of the knife, and for quick release and retraction of the knife.
