Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for a die seal layout design to improve adhesion of a polyimide layer to a passivation layer in semiconductor packaging is disclosed. The apparatus may include an outer seal ring on a semiconductor die. The apparatus may also include an inner seal ring on a portion of the semiconductor die. The apparatus may further include a trench between the outer seal ring and the inner seal ring. The apparatus may include a passivation layer covering the semiconductor die including the outer seal ring and the inner seal ring. The apparatus may additionally include a polyimide layer covering a portion of the passivation layer over the inner seal ring and a portion of the trench.

Abstract: A resource exchange method and apparatus, computer device, computer-readable storage medium and computer program product. The method includes: receiving an instant resource exchange request sent by an exchange requester; performing a resource exchange between the exchange requester and a first exchange responder corresponding to a first expected value limit of a current exchange response attribute corresponding to the instant resource exchange request; generating a first resource request condition based on the first expected value limit when it is detected that a remaining required resource amount of the instant resource exchange request is greater than a preset resource amount threshold; and upon detecting that the second resource request condition matching the first resource request condition, performing a resource exchange between the exchange requester and a second exchange responder corresponding to the second resource request condition based on the second resource request condition.

Abstract: An annular magnetic alignment component for a wireless charging system can include one or more arcuate inserts made of a soft magnetic material and disposed between arcuate magnets of the annular magnetic alignment component. When an annular magnetic alignment component is placed in an electronic device, the soft-magnetic arcuate inserts can provide magnetic shielding for electronic components located near the annular magnetic alignment component, which can reduce electronic and/or acoustic noise in the electronic device.

Abstract: This application relates to a resource exchange processing method and apparatus, computer device, computer-readable storage medium and computer program product. The method includes: receiving a resource exchange request, and extracting resource exchange conditions and responder selection criteria contained within the request; determining an exchange responder that meets the resource exchange conditions and the responder selection criteria; and performing resource exchange with the exchange responder according to the resource exchange conditions.

Abstract: A method includes performing a pressing operation on a volume of silicon carbide (SiC) powder to form a polycrystalline SiC (poly-SiC) ingot, and divide the poly-SiC ingot into a plurality of poly-SiC wafer bases. The method further includes, for a respective poly-SiC wafer base, bonding a silicon (Si) wafer structure to the respective poly-SiC wafer base to define a hybrid Si/poly-SiC stack structure, and performing a dividing process to remove a partial thickness of the Si wafer structure from the hybrid Si/poly-SiC stack structure to provide a hybrid Si/poly-SiC wafer comprising a remaining portion of the Si wafer structure bonded to the respective poly-SiC wafer base.

Abstract: Infectious diseases have been sources of large-scale epidemics and pandemics resulting in millions of casualties worldwide. Detection of these biological agents normally involves several lab processes including sample preparation, nucleic acid separation and amplification, and diagnostic analysis. These steps, either performed manually or automated by high-throughput machinery, are tedious, expensive, and highly susceptible to cross-contamination. The present system is an integrated lab-on-a-device designed, developed, and tested in compatibility with a mechanical fixture for sample-to-answer biological analysis of infectious diseases.

Abstract: An eyewear temple arm mounted to an eyewear device, wherein a distal portion of the elongated body member defines a parking structure. A distal edge portion of the structure defines an opening into a cavity thereof which is formed and dimensioned for free sliding, peripheral receipt of at least the proximal portion of a functional element therein between an operational condition and a parked condition. A cover member is configured to cooperate with the parking structure for movement between an opened condition and a closed condition. In the opened condition, the functional element can be moved to the operational condition, while in the closed condition, the cover member extends over the parking structure opening to substantially enclose at least the distal portion of the functional element therein.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, a microfluidic device and method of using the same is provided for self-regulating the flow of fluid therethrough. The microfluidic device includes a body defining first and second flow channels. The first flow channel has an input for receiving the fluid and an output. The second flow channel has an input for receiving a compensating fluid to modify the value of the property of the fluid and an output communicating with the first flow channel. A polymeric material is disposed in the first flow channel downstream of the output of the second flow channel. The polymeric material has a volume responsive to the value of the property of the fluid. A valve is disposed in the second flow channel and is movable in response to the volume of the material. The valve is movable between the first open position allowing the compensating fluid to flow past the valve into the first flow channel and a second closed position limiting the flow of compensating fluid therepast.
