Abstract: Dynamic management of concurrent client connections to a server is achieved by a server, in that the server monitors its load state and when the server's maximum permitted number of concurrent requests has been exceeded it reduces the clients' maximum numbers of permitted concurrent requests until such time as the overloading situation no longer persists. In this way, the capacity of each of multiple connections can be controlled by the server individually or as a group, wherein the control is dynamic, so that the client-server connections do not have to be accurately configured in advance.

Abstract: A technique is provided for installing circuit components, such as memory devices, in a support, such as a socket. The device to be installed is supported in a holder or shell. The holder is positioned over a support region in the receiving socket. A manual actuator is pressed into the holder to eject the device from the holder and to install the device in the support. The holder may be configured to hold a single device, or multiple devices aligned in slots defined by partitions. A multi-device tray may be provided for indexing devices toward an ejection slot, through which the devices are installed by manual actuation of an ejecting actuator. The technique provides protection for the device prior to and during installation, and facilitates manual installation of such devices without requiring direct hand contact with the device either prior to or during installation.

Abstract: A high density semiconductor package with thermally enhanced properties is described. The semiconductor package includes a pair of lead frames, each being attached to a respective semiconductor die. The dies are attached to respective lead frames via an adhering material, such as a tape. Further, the dies are each electrically connected to fingers of each lead frame. In one illustrated embodiment, the dies and portions of the fingers are encapsulated in such a way as to leave one surface of each die exposed. In another illustrated embodiment, heat dissipation for the semiconductor package occurs through exposed fingers of the lead frames which adhere semiconductor dies within a cavity located therebetween.

Abstract: A semiconductor component includes a semiconductor die, and an on board capacitor on the die for filtering transient voltages, spurious signals and power supply noise in signals transmitted to the die. The capacitor includes a first electrode in electrical communication with a first terminal contact for the component, and a second electrode in electrical communication with a second terminal contact for the component. The electrodes are separated by a dielectric layer and protected by an outer protective layer of the component. The capacitor can be fabricated using redistribution layers on a wafer containing multiple dice. The component can be used to construct systems such as multi chip packages and multi chip modules.

Abstract: A computer system, a printed circuit board assembly, and a multiple die semiconductor assembly are provided comprising first and second semiconductor dies and an intermediate substrate. The first semiconductor die defines a first active surface including at least one conductive bond pad. The second semiconductor die defines a second active surface including at least one conductive bond pad. The intermediate substrate is positioned between the first active surface of the first semiconductor die and the second active surface of the second semiconductor die such that a first surface of the intermediate substrate faces the first active surface and such that a second surface of the intermediate substrate faces the second active surface. The first semiconductor die is electrically coupled to the intermediate substrate by at least one topographic contact extending from the first active surface to the first surface of the intermediate substrate. The intermediate substrate defines a passage there through.
