Abstract: An integrated circuit package substrate may include a core layer and dielectric layers formed on top and bottom surfaces of the core layer. Routing traces such as stripline structures may be formed in some of the dielectric layers, whereas plated through hole (PTH) structures may be formed through the core layer. A first pair of PTHs that carry a first differential signal may be orthogonally intertwined with a second pair of PTHs that carry a second differential signal. Solder balls formed at the surface of the package substrate may include a first pair of solder balls that convey a first differential signal that is orthogonally intertwined with respect to a second pair of solder balls that convey a second differential signal. The package substrate may be mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB). Differential PCB vias could use the same BGA orthogonal pattern described above.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for forming both carafe quantities and smaller (e.g., cup) quantities of a beverage using a cartridge-based beverage machine. A beverage forming machine accommodates cartridges having different sizes and/or shapes, including different rim sizes/shapes. The outlet used for receiving a beverage from a standard cartridge differs from the outlet used for receiving the beverage from a carafe cartridge inserted in a same cartridge holder. Beverage may exit the cartridge in an upward direction in some embodiments.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the technical field of illuminating lamp, especially to an LED module and its manufacturing process. The LED module of the present invention includes a lens group, an LED illuminant, a circuit board and a heat sink; the LED illuminant includes an LED chip and a heat sink holder; the LED chip is attached to the heat sink holder which is disposed on the circuit board by Surface Mounted Technology; the lens group covers the heat sink, and is located above the LED chip; encapsulant is filled in a confined space formed between the lens group and the heat sink through a process of injection. Compared with the prior art, in the LED module of the present invention, the encapsulant replaces the original air medium in the transmission process of the light emitted by the LED chip; moreover, the matching between the refractive index of the encapsulant and the lens of the lens group improves the light out-coupling efficiency to greatest extent.

Abstract: A heated inlet guide vane is disclosed. The disclosed guide vane may include a body having an inlet cavity disposed alongside of an outlet cavity wherein the outlet cavity is disposed alongside the leading edge of the vane. The inlet cavity is in communication with a source of heated air. The inlet cavity is in communication with the outlet cavity by way of a plurality of impingement holes spaced along the inner wall disposed between the two cavities. Bleed holes are spaced along the length of the outlet cavity. Fresh, heated air enters the outlet cavity along the entire length of the outlet cavity and quickly exits the outlet cavity with minimal cooling so that a uniform d-icing capability is provided along the entire leading edge of the inlet guide vane.

Abstract: A manifold for a gas turbine engine includes oppositely facing first and second walls that extend from an annular wall. An undulating wall oppositely faces the annular wall and couples the first wall to the second wall. The walls collectively form a plurality of first chambers in fluid communication with a plurality of second chambers so that each of the second chambers intersperse adjacent first chambers. Each first chamber has a first volume that is greater that a second volume of each second chamber.
