Abstract: A wireless electrostimulation system can comprise a wireless energy transmission source, and an implantable cardiovascular wireless electrostimulation node. A receiver circuit comprising an inductive antenna can be configured to capture magnetic energy to generate a tissue electrostimulation. A tissue electrostimulation circuit, coupled to the receiver circuit, can be configured to deliver energy captured by the receiver circuit as a tissue electrostimulation waveform.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and structure are provided for implementing selective rework for chip stacks. A backside metal layer to create resistive heating is added to a chip backside in a chip stack. A rework tool applies a predefined current to the backside metal layer to reflow solder connections and enables separating selected chips in the chip stack.

Abstract: A system is presented providing content to a plurality of handheld devices (including musical selections). The devices can access a server over the Internet via a Wi-Fi or other similar wireless interconnection and can download songs requested by a user from the server or from other users using, e.g., a P2P protocol. All downloads may be governed by applicable DRM rules. Content and playlists may also be pushed by a server from other sources and means including, e.g., podcasting, based on predetermined rules, favorite preferences of users, and other criteria.

Abstract: An apparatus for changing a light bulb that is out of reach for a person even with the use of a six foot ladder includes a substantially hollow elongated member and an extendable member which is disposed within the substantially hollow elongated member. A locking member is engageable with the hollow member and the extendable member for adjusting the length of the apparatus. A replaceable vacuum cup having a predetermined shape is disposed on a first end of the extendable member for attachment to such light bulb. A vacuum pump is disposed adjacent a bottom portion of the hollow elongated member, such pump is engageable with the cup for creating a vacuum in the cup for securing such light bulb therein. A vacuum release assembly is disposed on the pump for releasing such vacuum.

Abstract: An apparatus and method can receive wireless energy using a wireless electrostimulation electrode assembly. In certain examples, at least some of the received wireless energy can be delivered as an electrostimulation to a heart. In certain examples, the wireless electrostimulation electrode can be mechanically supported at least partially using a ring formed by an annulus of a mitral valve of the heart. In certain examples, the wireless electrostimulation electrode assembly can be configured to be intravascularly delivered to an implant location within a chamber of the heart at the annulus of the mitral valve of the heart, and can fit entirely within the heart.

Abstract: A particular chip is designed having a first variant (front side connected chip) of the chip and a second variant (back side connected chip). The first variant of the chip is attached to a carrier. The second variant of the chip is attached to the carrier inverted relative to the first variant of the chip. The first and second variants of the chip are attached to the carrier such that a vertical surface (side) of the first variant of the chip faces a corresponding vertical surface of the second variant of the chip. A circuit on the first variant of the chip is electrically connected to a corresponding circuit on the second variant of the chip.

Abstract: A communications architecture utilizes modules arranged in a daisy-chain, each module supporting multiple input and output ports. Point-to-point links are arranged so that a first output link of each of multiple modules connects to the next module in the chain, and a second output link connects to a module after it, and inputs arranged similarly, so that any single module can be by-passed in the event of malfunction. Multiple chains may be cross-linked and/or serviced by hubs or chains of hubs. Preferably, the redundant links are used in a non-degraded operating mode to provide higher bandwidth and/or reduced latency of communication. The exemplary embodiment is a memory subsystem in which the modules are buffered memory chips.

Abstract: A method is provided that utilizes silicon through via technology, to build a Toroid into the chip with the addition of a layer of magnetic material such as Nickel above and below the T-coil stacked multi-ring structure. This allows the connection between the inner via and an array of outer vias. This material is added on a BEOL metal layer or as an external coating on the finished silicon. Depending on the configuration and material used for the via, the inductance will increase approximately two orders of magnitude (e.g., by utilizing a nickel via core). Moreover, a ferrite material with proper thermal conduction properties is used in one embodiment.
