Abstract: A design method for an inerter with adaptively adjusted inertia ratio is based on a lead screw-flywheel inerter, which is to change the positions of mass blocks on a flywheel along the radial direction of the flywheel, so as to change of the moment of inertia of the flywheel, and thus to realize adaptive adjustment of the inertia ratio of the inerter. Specifically, the change of angular velocity of the flywheel is caused by the change of an external force load on a lead screw, a centrifugal force on the mass blocks in spring-mass block structures is changed by the angular velocity, and the positions of the mass blocks in the radial direction of the flywheel is determined by the balanced relation of the centrifugal force and a spring restore force, so that the design purpose is achieved.

Abstract: A system on chip (SoC) die package is attached to a redistribution structure of a semiconductor device package such that a top surface of the SoC die package is above a top surface of an adjacent memory die package. This may be achieved through the use of various attachment structures that increase the height of the SoC die package. After encapsulating the memory die package and the SoC die package in an encapsulation layer, the encapsulation layer is grinded down. The top surface of the SoC die package being above the top surface of the adjacent memory die package results in the top surface of the SoC die package being exposed through the encapsulation layer after the grinding operation. This enables heat to be dissipated through the top surface of the SoC die package.
