Abstract: The present disclosure relates to processing systems and more specifically to integrated circuit (IC) packages designed to reduce the effects of electrostatic discharge and/or electromagnetic interference during integrated circuit manufacture and/or use. The IC assembly may include a wafer positioned between a cooling system and thermal dissipation structure. The cooling system and thermal dissipation structure include electrically conductive material at a ground potential such that the thermal systems act as electrical ground. The wafer may be electrically connected to the cooling system and thermal dissipation structure to reduce static charge accumulation during the assembly process. The cooling system and thermal dissipation structure may further provide radio frequency (RF) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference during use of the IC assembly.

Abstract: A system on a wafer (SoW) assembly is disclosed. The SoW assembly can include a first SoW assembly structure with a first coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). The first SoW assembly structure includes first to third slots at different locations. The SoW assembly can include a second SoW assembly structure stacked on the first SoW assembly structure. The second SoW assembly structure has a second CTE different from the first CTE. The second SoW assembly structure has first to third pins extending therefrom and disposed in the first to third slots. The first and second slots shaped to allow the first and second pins to move along a first axis, and the third slot shaped to allow the third pin to move along a second axis. The first SoW assembly structure can be a SoW and the second SoW assembly structure can be a heat dissipation structure in certain applications.

Abstract: A multi-band antenna system is provided. The antenna system can be placed under and embedded within a glass exterior surface of a vehicle. Such an antenna system can include a capacitively coupled metallic element on or adjacent to the glass exterior surface, which can serve as both a parasitic element to enhance gain and as a heating element to melt snow and/or ice accumulation over the glass area that covers the antenna. In certain applications, the antenna's structure itself can be used as a heater to improve performance in adverse weather conditions while the heating elements are positioned away from the thermally sensitive electronics. The antenna system with integrated heating can include a spiral antenna.

Abstract: A new wiring and power and communications system for an automobile that includes a plurality of devices, wherein the devices are connected to a backbone section that has an outer sheathing, a first conductor disposed within the outer sheathing, a second conductor disposed within the outer sheathing, a pair of inner sheathing members disposed within the outer sheathing and located on opposing sides of the at least one conductor, the inner sheathing members configured to electrically insulate the first conductor from the second conductor, and a shield member disposed within the outer sheathing.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for providing a cosmetic composition to a user. The system includes an apparatus configured to dispense at least one cosmetic composition into a output container; a user interface configured to receive information about the user; and circuitry configured to receive the information about the user and determine one or more cosmetic compositions to be dispensed into the output container based on the information about the user received at the user interface.
