Abstract: Some implementations described herein provide a semiconductor package including an integrated circuit die mounted to an interposer using connection structures. An underfill material between the integrated circuit die and the interposer includes shaped fillets that are below a plane corresponding to a bottom surface of the integrated circuit die. The underfill material including the shaped fillets reduces a likelihood of stresses and/or strains that damage a mold compound from transferring to the mold compound from the underfill material, the integrated circuit die, and/or the interposer. In this way, a quality and reliability of the semiconductor package including the underfill material with the shaped fillets is reduced. By improving the quality and reliability of the semiconductor package, a yield of the semiconductor package may increase to decrease a cost of the semiconductor package.

Abstract: A synthetic jet equipment is provided, including a base, a frame fixed to the base, a first member, a pump diaphragm, a second member, and a valve diaphragm. The pump diaphragm connects the first member to the frame, and the valve diaphragm connects the second member to the frame. The base, the frame, the first member, the pump diaphragm, the second member, and the valve diaphragm define a chamber forming an intake and an outlet. When the first member moves in a first direction, the second member moves in a second direction opposite to the first direction and the external air flows into the chamber through the inlet. When the first member moves in the second direction, the second member moves in the first direction, such that the air is exhausted from the chamber through the outlet.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a swinging device having a swinging mechanism disposed on an energy provider, wherein volume and shape of the swinging mechanism and a distance between the swinging mechanism and the energy provider are adjusted so as to control the ratio of the distance and a characteristic value corresponding to the swinging mechanism in a specific range such that the swinging mechanism is capable of resonating with respect to the rotation of the energy provider. The swinging mechanism is capable of detecting the rotating frequency of the energy provider as well as combining with a display unit which is capable of displaying information with respect to the rotating status or displaying image patterns controlled according to the rotating status.

Abstract: A swinging apparatus comprising an energy provider and a swinging mechanism disposed thereon. By means of adjusting the size and shape of the swinging mechanism and adjusting a distance between the swinging mechanism and the energy provider so as to control the ratio of the distance between the swinging mechanism and the energy provider to a characteristic value corresponding to the swing mechanism in a range between 4 and 0.25, the swinging frequency of the swinging mechanism may be adjusted automatically to comply with the variation of the motion frequency of the energy provider. The present invention further provides an energy harvester to work with the swinging apparatus and a coil to generate an induced current for power generation during the swing of the swing mechanism. In the present invention, the natural frequency of the swing mechanism may be adjusted according to the rotational velocity of the energy provider.

Abstract: In some aspects, the invention relates to methods for increasing insulin-sensitivity and/or decreasing insulin secretion in an individual by reducing or inhibiting corticotropin releasing factor 2 (CRFR2) signaling. CRFR2 antagonists may block agonism by one or more CRFR2 agonist, for example Ucn 2 or Ucn 3. Methods according to the invention may be use to treat a variety of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, polycystic ovarian syndrome and obesity.

Abstract: The present invention provides transgenic mice deficient in urocortin. Urocortin null mutant mice are hypersensitive to stress and display heightened anxiety-like behaviors in the elevated plus maze and open field tests. These mice also demonstrate physiological alterations in auditory thresholds and distortion product otoacoustic emissions. These results indicate that urocortin plays a modulatory role in anxiety-related behaviors and in contributing to the establishment of auditory thresholds. Such urocortin deficient mutant mice can provide useful models in the study of anxiety pathology and hearing physiology at the biochemical and molecular levels.
