The first bump structure includes a first pillar layer formed over the first substrate and a first barrier layer formed over the first pillar layer. In addition, the first barrier layer has a first protruding portion laterally extending outside a first edge of the first pillar layer. The package structure further includes a second bump structure bonded to the first bump structure through a solder joint. In addition, the second bump structure includes a second pillar layer formed over a second substrate and a second barrier layer formed over the second pillar layer. The first protruding portion of the first barrier layer is spaced apart from the solder joint.

Abstract: In some examples, a device can include a first antenna having a first wireless connection with a first computing device, a second antenna having a second wireless connection with a second computing device, and a controller to determine a signal strength of the first wireless connection and a signal strength of the second wireless connection, designate, in response to the signal strength of the first wireless connection being greater than a threshold signal strength, the first wireless connection as an active connection and the second wireless connection as a standby connection, and cause the peripheral device to communicate with the first computing device via the active connection of the first antenna while maintaining the second wireless connection to the second computing device via the second antenna, where the second wireless connection remains as the standby connection.

Abstract: A backlight module includes a light source, a first prism sheet disposed on the light source, and a light type adjustment sheet disposed on a side of the first prism sheet away from the light source and including a base and multiple light type adjustment structures. The multiple light type adjustment structures are disposed on the first surface of the base. Each light type adjustment structure has a first structure surface and a second structure surface connected to each other. The first structure surface of each light type adjustment structure and the first surface of the base form a first base angle therebetween, and the second structure surface of each light type adjustment structure and the first surface of the base form a second base angle therebetween. The angle of the first base angle is different from the angle of the second base angle.

Abstract: An actuating and sensing module is disclosed and includes a bottom plate, a gas pressure sensor, a thin gas transportation device and a cover plate. The bottom plate includes a pressure relief orifice, a discharging orifice and a communication orifice. The gas pressure sensor is disposed on the bottom plate and seals the communication orifice. The thin gas transportation device is disposed on the bottom plate and seals the pressure relief orifice and the discharging orifice. The cover plate is disposed on the bottom plate and covers the gas pressure sensor and the thin gas-transportation device. The cover plate includes an intake orifice. The thin gas transportation device is driven to inhale gas through the intake orifice, the gas is then discharged through the discharging orifice by the thin gas transportation device, and a pressure change of the gas is sensed by the gas pressure sensor.

Abstract: An improved structure of a toothpick is disclosed, wherein a toothpick rod is integrally made of a flexible plastic material, the tip portions on the two ends of the toothpick rod are formed as flat wedge shapes, two sides or surface of the tip portions are formed with a coarse surface with sawteeth, characterized in that the thickness of the two tip portions of the toothpick are different and the thicker tip portion is formed with a hook on the rear rim thereof. In using the aforementioned toothpick, an user may select required end of the toothpick according to the gap between teeth. The hook on the rear end of the tip portion serves to provide a firmly clamping force as the toothpick serves as a fork for forking foods, such as fruits or cake. Further, by the installation of the hook, the present invention has the function of indication. Thereby, the user may identify which end is thicker so that an user may use the toothpick conveniently.
