  • Patent number: 11941980
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for allowing vehicles access or egress from a dedicated roadway. In some implementations, a system includes a server, an interface, and sensors. The interface receives data from a railroad system that manages a railroad running parallel to a first roadway. The sensors are positioned in a location relative to the first and second roadway. Each sensor can detect vehicles on the second roadway. For each detected vehicle, each sensor can generate first sensor data based on the detected vehicle and the data received at the interface. Second sensor data can be generated based on activities on the first roadway. Observational data can be generated based on the first and second sensor data. An instruction can be determined to allow the detected vehicle access to the first roadway. The instruction can be transmitted to the detected vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20220310777
    Abstract: IC chip package routing structures including a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor integrated with redistribution layers. An active side of an IC chip may be electrically coupled to the redistribution layers through first-level interconnects. The redistribution layers terminate at interfaces suitable for coupling a package to a host component through second-level interconnects. The MIM capacitor structure may comprise materials suitable for high temperature processing, for example of 350° C., or more. The MIM capacitor structure may therefore be fabricated over a host substrate using higher temperature processing. The redistribution layers and MIM capacitor may then be embedded within package dielectric material(s) using lower temperature processing. An IC chip may be attached to the package routing structure, and the package then separated from the host substrate for further assembly to a host component.

  • Patent number: 11380616
    Abstract: Fan Out Package-On-Package (PoP) assemblies in which a second chip is adhered to a non-active side of a first chip. An active side of the first chip embedded in a first package material may be electrically coupled through one or more redistribution layers that fan out to package interconnects on a first side of the POP. A second chip may be adhered, with a second package material, to the non-active side of the first chip. An active side of the second chip may be electrically coupled to the package interconnects through a via structure extending through the first package material. Second interconnects between the second chip, or a package thereof, may contact the via structure. Use of the second package material as an adhesive may improve positional stability of the second chip to facilitate wafer-level assembly techniques.

  • Patent number: 10602679
    Abstract: A harvesting tumbler apparatus includes first and second spaced apart grating segment retainers, and a tumbler grating including a plurality of resiliently tensionable grating segments connected to the first and second grating segment retainers. The resiliently tensionable grating segments extend from each of the first and second grating segment retainers in a spaced apart circular arrangement. The tumbler apparatus further includes a tension mechanism configured to apply a sufficient tension force to the resiliently tensionable grating segments to cause the grating to form a cylindrical shape. In illustrative embodiments, the resiliently tensionable grating segments may include flexible cord segments.

  • Publication number: 20200098698
    Abstract: Embodiments include semiconductor packages, such as wafer level chip scale packages (WLCSPs), flip chip chip scale packages (FCCSPs), and fan out packages. The WLCSP includes a first doped region on a second doped region, a dielectric on a redistribution layer, where the dielectric is between the redistribution layer and doped regions. The WLCSP also includes a shield over the doped regions, the dielectric, and the redistribution layer, where the shield includes a plurality of surfaces, and at least one of the plurality of surfaces of the shield is on a top surface of the first doped region. The WLCSP may have interconnects coupled to the second doped region and redistribution layer. The shield may be a conductive shield that is coupled to ground, and the shield may be directly coupled to the redistribution layer and first doped region. The first and second doped regions may include highly doped n-type materials.
