  • Publication number: 20070085190
    Abstract: An integrated circuit module, decoupling capacitor assembly and method are disclosed. The integrated circuit module includes a substrate and integrated circuit die mounted on the substrate and having die pads and an exposed surface opposite from the substrate. A plurality of substrate bonding pads are positioned on the substrate adjacent the integrated circuit die. A decoupling capacitor assembly is mounted on each integrated circuit die and includes a capacitor carrier secured onto the exposed surface of the integrated circuit die and a decoupling capacitor carried by the capacitor carrier. A wire bond extends from the decoupling capacitor assembly to a die pad and from a die pad to a substrate bonding pad.

  • Patent number: 4337481
    Abstract: A motion and intrusion detecting system wherein scanning at two different rates is carried out in order to more reliably detect fast and slow motion in a scene being viewed. Also, increased noise immunity is provided by providing a special scan which generates signals inhibiting generation of alarm indications corresponding to points at which a possible noise situation exists.

  • Patent number: 4081830
    Abstract: A motion and intrusion detection system utilizing video techniques samples fixed points during a video scan of the field of view of a camera and stores information concerning the fixed scanned points. During subsequent scans, information concerning the respective scanned points is compared with previous scans and threshold conditions are set up in order to detect an alarm condition. Further, apparatus is provided to change the field of view of the video system and in order to automatically focus and zoom in to magnify a particular portion of the field of view. Still further, means is provided to display a "map" of the alarmed areas on the screen of the television monitor.
