  • Patent number: 11952963
    Abstract: A thrust reverser for a turbojet aircraft nacelle includes a fixed structure, a movable structure and an actuator. The actuator extends along a main axis and is connected by a first connection to the fixed structure and by a second connection to the movable structure for the deployment of the movable structure between a direct jet position and a reverse jet position. The actuator is also connected to the fixed structure by a third connection arranged longitudinally between the first connection and the second connection. An axis of the third connection is radially eccentric from the main axis and the third connection allows a predetermined displacement of the actuator with respect to the fixed structure.

  • Patent number: 11676928
    Abstract: An integrated circuit chip includes a front face having an electrical connection pad. An overmolded encapsulation block encapsulates the integrated circuit chip and includes a front layer at least partially covering a front face of the integrated circuit chip. A through-hole the encapsulation block is located above the electrical connection pad of the integrated circuit chip. A wall of the through-hole is covered with an inner metal layer that is joined to the front pad of the integrated circuit chip. A front metal layer covers a local zone of the front face of the front layer, with the front metal layer being joined to the inner metal layer to form an electrical connection. The inner metal layer and the front metal layer are attached or anchored to activated additive particles that are included in the material of the encapsulation block.

  • Publication number: 20230114469
    Abstract: A device includes comprising first and second printed circuit boards. Walls couple the first and second printed circuit boards to each other and define a first cavity between the first and second printed circuit boards. Electric conductors associated with the walls electrically connect the the first and second printed circuit boards. An integrated circuit chip is mounted to a first surface of the first integrated circuit board in the first cavity. The integrated circuit chip is electrically connected to conductive tracks of the first surface of the first printed circuit board. Surface-mounted components are mounted on top of and in contact with conductive tracks of a first surface of the second printed circuit board. The first surfaces of the first and second printed circuit boards are arranged facing towards each other. The first and second printed circuit boards may form rigid components of a flex-rigid type printed circuit board.

  • Patent number: 10258301
    Abstract: Digital subtraction angiography is used to improve the contrast of images of patient vasculature. A non-contrast image is recorded with no contrast medium injected into the patient, and then a succession of contrast images is captured after the injection of a contrast medium. The non-contrast image is successively registered to the contrast images, and then subtracted. This removes background structures, but leaves the vasculature untouched, making blood vessels easier to see. Artifacts can remain when different motion layers are present in the X-ray image (for example, the spine and the lungs). This application discusses a technique to prevent artifacts occurring when different motion layers are present in an X-ray frame or sequence.

  • Publication number: 20120326332
    Abstract: An integrated-circuit chip and external electrical connection elements are arranged on a first side of a substrate to form an assembly that is placed within a mold. The mold includes first and second opposed planar faces with a molding film made of a deformable material on the first planar face. The molding film is pressed against end faces of the external electrical connection elements. Encapsulating material then fills the mold cavity producing a semiconductor device that, when removed from the mold, includes electrical connection elements that are peripherally coated by the encapsulating material and have exposed end faces. An additional semiconductor device may be mounted over and in electrical connection with the electrical connection elements through the exposed end faces.
