Abstract: An electronic assembly includes a substrate having a die and PCB mounted thereon. Wirebonds interconnect bond pads of the die with contact pads of the PCB, each wirebond having a first end portion bonded to a respective bond pad, an opposite second end portion bonded to a respective contact pad and an intermediate section extending between the first and second end portions. A dam encapsulant encapsulates each of the first and second end portions, a first fill encapsulant contacts the substrate and the dam encapsulant; and a second fill encapsulant overlies the first fill encapsulant. The first fill encapsulant has a lower modulus of elasticity than the second fill encapsulant and the dam encapsulant.

Abstract: A system may provide virtual energy audits of one or more target buildings. The system may retrieve weather data and energy usage data specific to a given target building from a weather server and a utility server, respectively. The system may store predefined building characteristics corresponding to the given target building in local memory. Based on the weather data, energy usage data, and/or predefined building characteristics, the system may generate one or more building markers that characterize the energy usage and efficiency of the given target building. Building efficiency diagnostics and energy conservation prognostics may be generated based on the building markers and may be sent by the system to be displayed via a user interface of a client device. The energy conservation prognostics may include one or more energy conservation measure recommendations and corresponding predicted cost/energy savings.

Abstract: Methods and systems for manufacturing a three-dimensional product. Fabrication of a three-dimensional part from a powder spread over a work table as a powder bed can be initiated. The fabrication process can be paused to cool down the work table to room temperature to obtain access to the three-dimensional part for post-processing operations such as, for example, embedding external artifacts. Fabrication can continue by preheating the powder rather than the work table until fabrication of the three-dimensional part is complete. A damaged part may be placed within the powder bed, wherein the fabrication process can be directly initiated to achieve part repair. Additionally, a material of the same part's composition can be used or a different material utilized to render the part better than new. Access to the three-dimensional part allows embedding of a foreign object in the three-dimensional part within the powder bed while the three-dimensional part remains non-finished.

Abstract: A collaborative development service manages a document that can be shared among multiple users. If multiple users are editing the document, the edits may need to have operational transformation rules applied thereon. The collaborative development service provides operational transformation rules to users of mobile devices that do not have copies of the operational transformation rules stored on their devices. When a change to the document is received by the collaborative development service, it is determined that a first user device has operational transformation capability. In response to determining that the first user device has operational transformation capability, the change is transmitted to the first user. The collaborative development service determines that a second user device does not have operational transformation capability and applies an operational transformation to the change to generate a transformed change. The transformed change is transmitted to the second user device.

Abstract: A location of a network user computing device is determined relative to a location of a point of interest. If the user device is determined to be stationary, the user device is monitored for movement, the movement resulting in re-determining the location of the user device relative to a location of the point of interest. If the user device is determined to be moving, the velocity of the user device is matched with a predetermined velocity, and a preliminary estimated time of arrival to the point of interest is determined based on the predetermined velocity matched to the user device. At a later time that is based on a function of the preliminary estimated time of arrival, an estimated time of arrival to the point of interest is verified based on the predetermined velocity matched to the user device.

Abstract: A user installs a hotspot alert application on their mobile device. The application employs the location technology of the user device to transmit the location of the device, and thus the location of the user. The location can be transmitted to a server located in a hotspot tracking system. By establishing the location of the user, the server may search for hotspots on a database stored on the system. The server establishes the dimensions of a hotspot zone around the user's location and transmits the hotspots and the zone dimensions to the application on the user device. The application monitors the location of the user device and deliver's configured alerts to the user when approaching a hotspot. When the device leaves a zone or remains idle for a configured amount of time, the device requests and receives an updated zone of hotspots.
