Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) package including a bottom leadframe, an interposer mounted on the bottom leadframe, a flipchip die mounted on the interposer and a top leadframe electrically connected to the interposer. Also, a method of making an integrated circuit (IC) package including electrically and physically attaching a die to an interposer, attaching the interposer to a bottom leadframe, attaching a discrete circuit component to the interposer and attaching a top leadframe to the bottom leadframe.

Abstract: An adjustable control apparatus for a video game pad that enables a user to adjust the tension of the apparatus to enhance the comfort and control of the apparatus and the video game pad. The assembly of the control apparatus includes a positioning member or stick which is nested inside a housing. The assembly also includes a clutch member and a tension member assembled between the stick and housing. The positioning member and housing are connected or otherwise held together using a support member such as a C-ring. The C-ring fits into a groove on the shaft of the stick. A flexible member is positioned between the stick and the housing. Additionally, a signal transfer member is connected to or assembled to a circuit board such as a PC board to transfer electrical signals or the like from the control apparatus to the circuit board.

Abstract: An implant prosthesis comprising human adipose tissue, preferably of autologous origin, contained within an impermeable or semi-permeable membrane capable of implantation during reconstructive or elective surgery such as mammoplasty.

Abstract: A device to be worn by a dog or other animal to accept and retain primarily feces. The device includes a contact member contoured to the general shape of the animal buttocks and designed to be secured adjacent to the buttocks of the animal. The contact member includes an aperture designed to circumscribe the anus of the animal. A disposable container is secured in the aperture by a retaining insert. The device may be secured adjacent to the animal by means such as straps which originate from a harness worn by the animal.
