Abstract: In an embodiment, a package includes an integrated circuit device attached to a substrate; an encapsulant disposed over the substrate and laterally around the integrated circuit device, wherein a top surface of the encapsulant is coplanar with the top surface of the integrated circuit device; and a heat dissipation structure disposed over the integrated circuit device and the encapsulant, wherein the heat dissipation structure includes a spreading layer disposed over the encapsulant and the integrated circuit device, wherein the spreading layer includes a plurality of islands, wherein at least a portion of the islands are arranged as lines extending in a first direction in a plan view; a plurality of pillars disposed over the islands of the spreading layer; and nanostructures disposed over the pillars.

Abstract: A light-emitting package includes a light-transmitting carrier and a light-emitting element. The light-transmitting carrier has a carrying surface, and the light-transmitting carrier contains a base resin and a first phosphorescent powder. The light-emitting element is disposed on the carrying surface. A light-emitting module that contains a phosphorescent powder is also provided.

Abstract: A method of enhancing the accuracy to predict the gender of a network user comprises: obtaining campaign gender distribution ratios for each advertising campaign by counting the gender information of groundtruth devices which clicked in the respective advertising campaigns; assigning the gender information for each unknown device by finding out the advertising campaigns that are clicked by the unknown device, multiplying the campaign gender distribution ratios of the clicked advertising campaigns, and comparing the multiplied result with a first certain value; obtaining update campaign gender distribution ratios for each advertising campaign by counting the gender information of groundtruth devices and unknown devices which clicked in the respective advertising campaigns; and comparing a quadratic sum of the difference of the old and update campaign gender distribution ratios with a second certain value for each advertising campaign, and back to the assigning step if the quadratic sum is greater than a second

Abstract: An actively controlled orthotic device includes active components that dynamically change the structural characteristics of the orthotic device according to the orientation and locomotion of the corresponding body part, or according to the changing needs of the subject over a period of use. Accordingly, the orthotic device can be effectively employed to provide locomotion assistance, gait rehabilitation, and gait training. Similarly, the orthotic device may be applied to the wrist, elbow, torso, or any other body part. The active components may be actuated to effectively transmit force to a body part, such as a limb, to assist with movement when desired. Additionally or alternatively, the active components may also be actuated to provide support of varying rigidity for the corresponding body part.

Abstract: A modular robot having a plurality of agents for performing movements is provided. Each of these agents includes a computation component for performing computations needed in performing selective movements of the modular robot structure. A communication component is coupled to the computation module. The communication component allows each agent to communicate with its immediate physically-connected neighbor. An actuation component performs actuations associated with movements of the modular robot. A sensing component measures positional information that allows the agent to determine its respective environment. Once a defined shape or a desired task has been specified, each of the agents and their respective component coordinate their respective movements until the defined shape is reached.
