Abstract: A method includes providing a lead frame with a central metal plate and a plurality of leads extending away from the central metal plate, the central metal plate including an upper surface that includes a first mesa that is elevated from recessed regions, mounting a semiconductor die on the upper surface of central metal plate such that a lower surface of the semiconductor die is at least partially disposed on the first mesa, forming electrical interconnections between terminals of the semiconductor die and the leads, forming an encapsulant body on the central metal plate such that the semiconductor die is encapsulated by the encapsulant body and such that the leads protrude out from edge sides of the encapsulant body, and thinning the central metal plate from a rear surface of the central metal plate so as to isolate the first mesa at a lower surface of the encapsulant body.

Abstract: A glycol based dehumidifier system allows for the removal of water vapor from air in an air conditioner. A glycol solution is chilled and passed though the flow of air to remove the water vapor allowing it be further cooled an for the air to absorb moisture from the closed space being controlled by the air conditioner.

Abstract: A lead frame includes a first die paddle, a second die paddle, a first lead, a second lead, and a third lead. The first lead is coupled to a first side of the first die paddle. The second lead is coupled to a second side of the first die paddle opposite to the first side of the first die paddle. The third lead is coupled to a first side of the second die paddle. At least one of the first lead, the second lead, and the third lead is coupled to the corresponding die paddle via a zigzag shaped tie bar.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer implemented system for managing development of an idea into an innovation is provided. The system includes: a user talent database that stores a plurality user talent profile records relating to user talent; an idea database that stores a plurality of idea records relating to an idea submitted by a user; and an innovation database that stores an innovation record that that is based on a defined process. The system further includes an innovation management module configured to manage the development of the idea into an innovation by populating the innovation record with an idea record of the plurality of idea records, populating the innovation record with a dynamic subset of the plurality of user talent profile records, and populating the innovation record with data input by one or more users.

Abstract: An arrangement for the spectrometric measurement of products, such as cereals, oleaginous products, or derived products, includes a mechanism for selective adjustment of the position of a light beam in vertical and horizontal planes, and a selective adjustment device for ensuring that rays of the light beam are parallel.

Abstract: Mattress assemblies are provided that include a mattress, a mattress overlay, and a mattress cover that is comprised of a first cover and a second cover. The first cover includes a top panel, a bottom panel, and a continuous side panel that collectively define a cavity and enclose the mattress. The mattress overlay is positioned atop the mattress and the first mattress cover. The second cover, which defines a perimeter, is positioned over and is dimensionally-sized to cover the mattress overlay and at least the top panel of the first cover. The second cover can then be connected to the first cover by a fastener that extends along the perimeter of the second cover.
