Abstract: A method of assembling a flip chip on a leadframe package. A locking dual leadframe (LDLF) includes a top metal frame portion including protruding features and a die pad and a bottom metal frame portion having apertures positioned lateral to the die pad. The protruding features and apertures are similarly sized and alignable. A flipped integrated circuit (IC) die having a bottomside and a topside including circuitry connected to bond pads having solder balls on the bond pads is mounted with its topside onto the top metal frame portion. The top metal frame portion is aligned to the bottom metal frame portion so that the protruding features are aligned to the apertures. The bottomside of the IC die is pressed with respect to a top surface of the bottom frame portion, wherein the protruding features penetrate into the apertures.

Abstract: A method includes forming a leadframe assembly to have a pair of opposing sides, and having semiconductor die receiving portions extending between the opposing sides. The method also includes placing semiconductor dies on the leadframe assembly in the die receiving portions. Each die has a row of leads on each of two opposing sides of the die and a longitudinal axis parallel to the rows of leads. The longitudinal axis of each die is orthogonal to the opposing sides of the leadframe assembly. The method further includes applying mold compound to the semiconductor dies. The method includes punching through the leadframe assembly between the opposing sides using a first tool having a first tool longitudinal axis parallel to longitudinal axes of the dies.

Abstract: A technique of obtaining update data from a database includes accessing configuration data associated with a particular entity in a plurality of entities. The configuration data includes a specification of how to extract a set of entity generated data records from a remote data store associated with the particular entity. The remote data store associated with the particular entity comprises common data elements shared by the plurality of entities and entity-specific data elements specified by the particular entity. It further includes determining whether values for a data field specified in the configuration data have been previously extracted from the remote data store. It further includes generating, according to the specification included in the configuration data, a query for values associated with the data field. Generating the query comprises determining a range indicator that indicates a time period of data values to be extracted.

Abstract: A computing system can provide multi-factor authentication. In the system, a second entity can receive a request from a first entity via a network to transfer a user transaction from the second entity to the first entity. The system can extract a user ID from the request. The user ID can be linked to an identity of the user in a computerized user management system of the first entity. The system can determine that the user ID is valid and assigned to a user. The system can determine that the user is authorized to transfer the transaction to the first entity and cause a code to be provided to the second entity and to the user in response. The system can receive an indication that the second entity confirmed receipt of the code by the user and receive the user transaction at the first entity in response.

Abstract: A camera system for vehicles captures panoramic video, has a unique identifier, and has an image processor that compresses the video and detects events. It transmits compressed video with one or more of a timestamp, a unique identifier, a location, and event flags through a network (e.g., cellular) to a server. A GPS device (or the like) may be adapted to determine location. Particular embodiments process the video to detect events, and, upon detecting these events, transmit video at a high data rate while using a low data rate at other times.
