  • Patent number: 10458421
    Abstract: A cooling fan is illuminated by addressable LEDs, which allows interactive control of the LEDs from a connected controller to create variable lighting effects on the fan impeller. The fan may include a frame, an electrical motor, an impeller, and addressable LEDs. The LEDs may be positioned around the periphery of a fan central cavity in which the impeller rotates. The LEDs may be mounted on a flexible circuit substrate that also forms a fan shroud. The addressable LEDs face towards the rotational axis of the motor, and can apply variable illumination of the impeller. The fan can be used to provide cooling to host device components and accessories, such as those related to a personal computer, while also providing interactive, decorative LED lighting and effects and/or conveying information concerning system operation, such as temperature, load, and queued email or instant messages.

  • Patent number: 9478489
    Abstract: The width of scribe lines may be reduced in semiconductor devices by applying a process technique in which trenches may be formed first from the rear side on the basis of a required width of the corresponding trenches, while subsequently it may be cut into the substrate from the front side on the basis of a reduced thickness of the corresponding saw blades, thereby also enabling a reduction of the scribe line width. Furthermore, contamination of the front side, i.e., of the metallization system, may be reduced, for instance, by performing an optional intermediate cleaning process.
