Abstract: A system for locating and monitoring electronic devices utilizing a security system that is secretly and transparently embedded within the computer. This security system causes the client computer to periodically and conditionally call a host system to report its serial number via an encoded series of dialed numbers. A host monitoring system receives calls from various clients and determines which calls to accept and which to reject by comparing the decoded client serial numbers with a predefined and updated list of numbers corresponding to reported stolen computers. The host also concurrently obtains the caller ID of the calling client to determine the physical location of the client computer. The caller ID and the serial number are subsequently transmitted to a notifying station in order to facilitate the recovery of the stolen device. The security system remains hidden from the user, and actively resists attempts to disable it.

Abstract: An apparatus supports, during a testing operation, a leadframe formed with at least one row of non-singulated semiconductor devices. The apparatus includes a main body and a leadframe support member, and the leadframe support is formed with at least one groove for receiving semiconductor devices such that in use leads extending from the semiconductor devices lie on a surface of the support member.

Abstract: Methods for assembling a stack package for a high density IC module on a PCB include the steps of assembling a first layer of the stack package on the PCB, assembling a second layer of the stack package on the first layer and assembling a third layer of the stack package on the second layer, such that each layer is provided in electrical communication with the PCB. Additional layers may be added to the stack package.

Abstract: A stack package for a high density memory module includes at least one memory chip, an ASIC and an interposer, wherein the interposer comprises a first surface having contacts arranged in electrical communication with corresponding contacts on the ASIC and a second, substantially opposite surface including contacts arranged in electrical communication with corresponding contacts on a PCB. The at least one memory chip is dimensioned to fit within a cutout section in the interposer.

Abstract: The present invention provides apparatuses and methods for making laminated cards or other secure or non-secure documents using low cost materials, and low cost hardware that is commonly available by means of an easy to use system. Apparatuses and methods of the present invention can produce a quality product for low durability or high durability applications. The present invention addresses certain inadequacies of current laminated cards such as driver licenses or other secure or non-secure documents, production materials, and methods.

Abstract: The present invention provides licensing and identification devices such as secure documents. Such licensing and identification devices can be produced so that there is a record of production and so that the documents cannot be produced from stolen or unauthorized materials or used by anyone other than an authorized individual or organization. A secure licensing and identification device in accordance with the present invention preferably includes a uniquely identifiable coded authorization mark and a uniquely identifiable coded information mark. The authorization mark preferably functions as a key that allows the information mark to be provided on the instrument. As such the information mark is preferably based on the authorization mark so that the information mark and the authorization mark can be used to authenticate the secure instrument.
