  • Patent number: 11164114
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for performing detailed planning functions for businesses, enterprises and other types of organizations. According to an embodiment, the system comprises a graphical user interface configured to allow a user to define calculations based on data associated with an entity that may have scalar attributes for each entity, and/or a time series, and execution of the defined calculation generates time series result. According to another aspect, a calculation definition may be configured to be adjustable allowing a user to adjust parameter value(s) for each entity associated with the calculation definition. According to another aspect, a calculation definition may be configured to be discretionary allowing a user to attach or assign a calculation to each entity individually. According to another aspect, multiple calculations may be created and have the same name.

  • Patent number: 10971418
    Abstract: According to various aspects and embodiments, a support structure for packaging an electronic device is provided. In one example, a packaged electronic device includes a substrate, at least one electronic device disposed on the substrate, an encapsulation structure disposed on the substrate and having a wall that forms a perimeter around the at least one electronic device, and at least one support structure formed from a photosensitive polymer and disposed adjacent the wall of the encapsulation structure. The at least one support structure has a configuration that provides at least one of increased adhesion and mechanical strength to the encapsulation structure.

  • Patent number: 10875027
    Abstract: A sizer tooth assembly for a mineral sizer is described. The tooth assembly includes a horn protrusion extending from a rotatable support, the horn protrusion having a pair of opposed front and rear faces; and a shell structure encapsulating the horn protrusion and defining the outer shape of the sizer tooth; wherein the shell structure comprises exactly two cover formations which are non-releasably secured to one another but not to the horn protrusion, to define when so secured a unitary tooth assembly. Each of the two cover formations seats upon and presents an inward engagement face to a respective one of the pair of opposed front and rear faces of the horn protrusion; and each such engagement face of a cover formation and its corresponding face of the horn protrusion are provided with a complementary arrangement of projections and recesses configured such that when the two cover formations are non-releasably secured to one another the shell structure is releasably connected upon the horn protrusion.
