Abstract: The disclosure is directed to an exchangeable fill valve system. In some embodiments, the system includes an interchangeable shank that enables attachment of different fill valve types. In some embodiments, the interchangeable shank enables different fill valve types to be removed from a fluid tank without also removing the interchangeable shank from the tank wall. In some embodiments, the interchangeable shank also houses an inline filter, where the filter can be accessed by disconnecting the fill valve. In some embodiments, the exchangeable fill valve system includes floats that capture fill water drives the floats down actuating a fill valve lever. In some embodiments, the floats include one or more holes that enable a timed discharge of the fill water from the floats.

Abstract: Various semiconductor chip packages with undermounted passive devices and methods of making the same are disclosed. In one aspect, a method of manufacturing is provided that includes coupling a semiconductor chip to a first side of a carrier substrate where the carrier substrate includes a second side opposite the first side. At least one passive device is coupled to the second side of the carrier substrate. The at least one passive device includes at least one first terminal electrically coupled to the semiconductor chip and at least one second terminal adapted to couple to a printed circuit board.

Abstract: A routing layer for a semiconductor die is disclosed. The routing layer includes pads for attaching solder bumps; bond-pads bonded to bump-pads of a die having an integrated circuit, and traces interconnecting bond-pads to pads. The routing layer is formed on a layer of dielectric material. The routing layer includes conductive traces at least partially surrounding some pads so as to absorb stress from solder bumps attached to the pads. Parts of the traces that surround pads protect parts of the underlying dielectric material proximate the solder bumps, from the stress.

Abstract: A communication system is provided for communication between network nodes and communication controllers. The communication controllers transmit common mode signals C1-C4 in small communication areas between two controllers to enable mobile nodes to be handed off from one controller to another. A node will use the low power common mode signals C1-4 that have common frequencies between two controllers during handoff, and then transition to higher power communication frequencies such as f1-f4 that are used for transmission of general telephone signal messages after handoff. A single communication controller may use multiple common mode signals to overlapping with other controllers, thus providing a wider spectrum of common mode signals than dedicated telephone signals used after handoff.

Abstract: A communication system is provided that includes a controller providing a map of information to enable communication with a plurality of nodes. The information includes identification of two separate time slots, one for random access requests when a node initially contacts a controller and another for exclusively assigned access to transmit messages. The map further provides information to enable identification of the nodes and assigns transmission frequencies.
