Abstract: Disclosed are apparatuses and methods for fabricating the apparatuses. In one aspect, an apparatus includes a high-power die mounted on a backside of a package substrate. A heat transfer layer is disposed on the backside of the high-power die. A plurality of heat sink interconnects is coupled to the heat transfer layer. The plurality of heat sink interconnects is located adjacent the high-power die in a horizontal direction.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method, a system and/or a device for contactless encoding and printing of a triple interface smart card through a near-field network. In one embodiment, a triple interface encoding device includes a production controller communicatively coupled to an object encoding array, an object conveyor transport, and an object encoding server. The production controller may detect a sequence of target objects and associates it with one of a plurality of user accounts. The object encoding server configures the object encoding array to contactlessly encode the target object. Further, the object encoding server configures target object feeder to automatically deploy a number of target objects equal to a number of contactless encoders of the object encoding array onto the conveyor belt of the object conveyor transport spaced at corresponding repeat positions as the number of contactless encoders. Furthermore, object encoding server configures the conveyor belt to position the target objects.

Abstract: In one embodiment, chip-cards are fed from conveyor canisters individually into an array of N heterogeneous encoding assemblies of a heterogeneous chip-card production apparatus. Each chip-card is associated with a user account based on a database. Smart chips and magnetic stripes of the chip-cards are encoded asynchronously, electrically and magnetically by the N assemblies with N independent timing protocols for the N assemblies. Encoded chip-cards are deposited asynchronously in parallel by the N assemblies onto a conveyor belt and transported asynchronously and serially to a chip-card printer. The chip-card printer synchronizes each encoded chip-card with associated user account and prints on a surface of the encoded chip-card based on the associated user account.

Abstract: A method of single pass inkjet method of applying an adhesive to a substrate to bond a foil material to the substrate is disclosed. The inkjet printer includes a printer head to pattern an adhesive material directly onto a printable substrate and a foil material. An ultraviolet curing lamp is included to cure the adhesive material using a dry lamination process and/or a wet lamination process. A nip roller is included to affix the foil material with the adhesive material onto to the printable substrate. A rollback mechanism is assembled to lift away excess foil material from the printable substrate and the excess foil material is adjacent to fully cured areas of the adhesive material having the affixed thereupon the foil material.

Abstract: In order to provide an improved X-ray imaging quality an X-ray detector (14) is equipped with means (13, 15) for orienting it towards an X-ray source (2) during a scan (8a, 8b, 27). Means (9, 10, z) for reorienting a housing (10) comprising the X-ray detector (14) and a conventional cassette holder (4) and detector positioning means (9-12) cooperate to receive an X-ray beam (26a) with improved collimation quality. Thus the detection efficiency is increased, the image resolution is enhanced, and the beam exposure of patients (5) can be minimized. Embodiments relate to a linear X-ray detector (14) designed for a serial readout of image pixels, a collimator (3, 3a, 3b) for both scanning and wide-perture X-ray imaging, and a supporting arm (9) carrying the X-ray source (2), collimator (3) and detector arrangement (17).
