  • Patent number: 11955348
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a radio frequency (RF) device that includes a mold device die and a multilayer redistribution structure underneath the mold device die. The mold device die includes a device region with a back-end-of-line (BEOL) portion and a front-end-of-line (FEOL) portion over the BEOL portion, a thermally conductive film, and a first mold compound. The FEOL portion includes isolation sections and an active layer surrounded by the isolation sections. The thermally conductive film, which has a thermal conductivity greater than 10 W/m·K and an electrical resistivity greater than 1E5 Ohm-cm, resides between the active layer and the first mold compound. Herein, silicon crystal does not exist between the first mold compound and the active layer. The multilayer redistribution structure includes a number of bump structures, which are at a bottom of the multilayer redistribution structure and electrically coupled to the FEOL portion of the mold device die.

  • Patent number: 10142763
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to audio signal processing. Specifically, a method for processing audio signal is provided, the method comprising: determining, for a current frame of the audio signal, frequency band energies for a plurality of predefined frequency bands at least partially based on frequency parameters of the current frame; generating frequency band gains for the plurality of predefined frequency bands by processing the frequency band energies; and generating frequency bin gains for the current frame based on the frequency band gains using predefined frequency band filter banks, the frequency band filter banks being specific to the plurality of predefined frequency bands. Corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 5454803
    Abstract: Absorbent articles having side panels that provide inflected barrier cuffs which promotes better containment and fit. The absorbent articles comprise a liquid pervious topsheet, a liquid impervious backsheet, an absorbent core positioned between the topsheet and the backsheet; a side panel extending laterally from each longitudinal edge of the absorbent article and having a proximal edge and a distal edge; spacing means for spacing the distal edge away from the liquid-receiving surface (topsheet) of the absorbent article; and a closing means for securing the distal edges inboard of the proximal edges in the front waist region. The distal edge of the side panel is secured inboard of the proximal edges in the front waist region and is disposed outboard of the proximal edge in the rear waist region when fitted to the wearer.

  • Patent number: 5445628
    Abstract: A two piece garment for collecting bodily discharges is disclosed. The garment has a belt and a disposable assembly which are detachable and reattachable. The belt is intended to be reused, while the disposable assembly is intended to be discarded when soiled. The two components are attached to one another by hook and loop type fastening material, providing for adjustment to fit a wide range of wearer sizes.
