Abstract: A 3D chip package is disclosed that includes a carrier substrate with a first cavity and a second cavity formed therein. A first structure is attached to the carrier substrate at least partially in the first cavity, and a second structure is attached to the carrier substrate at least partially in the second cavity, where the first and second structures include electrical circuitry. A shield layer may be disposed between the carrier substrate and the first structure and/or the second structure for isolating the first structure and/or the second structure at least one of electrically, magnetically, optically, or thermally. In some embodiments, the shield layer may be a dielectric shield layer for dielectrically coupling the first structure and the second structure. The first structure and the second structure may be homogeneous or heterogeneous.

Abstract: A single point lock or cam lock for a casement window is provided. The lock includes an escutcheon providing a low profile and a smooth uninterrupted surface which faces the inside of the room. The handle includes two opposing legs that enter the escutcheon for attachment to the hook through opposing side walls of the escutcheon. A shaft provides the connection between the hook and the handle which rotates on two brace structures provided by the frame. The frame is sandwiched between the escutcheon and the inside surface of the window frame. The design of the escutcheon, the shaft and the braces of the frame provide for an effective seal against the inside surface of the window frame.

Abstract: An operator for a multi-point locking system for a casement window is provided. The operator includes a handle having two opposing legs that pass through side walls in the escutcheon thereby leaving the outer wall of the escutcheon intact. Due to a delay between movement of the handle and the first link which indirectly imparts movement of the handle to the tie bar, the handle can be rotated a full 180.degree. between the open and the closed positions while the first link is rotated through an angle of less than 180.degree.. As a result, the handle lies in a flat position with respect to the inside window frame surface in both the open and closed positions. Because of the handle design which employs two opposing legs disposed on opposite sides of the escutcheon, the operator can be used both on the right side and the left side of a window frame. The legs of the handle include inwardly extending shafts which are accommodated and supported by braces disposed on opposing sides of the base.
