Abstract: A device comprises a substrate and an IC die, which may be a photonic IC. The substrate comprises a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, an optical waveguide integral with the substrate, and a hole extending from the first surface to the second surface. The hole comprises a first sidewall. The optical waveguide is between the first surface and the second surface, parallel to the first surface, and comprises a first end which extends to the first sidewall. The IC die is within the hole and comprises a second sidewall and an optical port at the second sidewall. The second sidewall is proximate to the first sidewall and the first end of the optical waveguide is proximate to and aligned with the optical port. The substrate may include a recess to receive another device comprising a socket.

Abstract: A component carrier includes an electrically insulating layer structure with a first main surface and a second main surface, a through hole extends through the electrically insulating layer structure between the first main surface and the second main surface. The through hole has a first tapering portion extending from the first main surface and a second tapering portion extending from the second main surface. The through hole is delimited by a first plating structure on at least part of the sidewalls of the electrically insulating layer structure and a second plating structure formed separately from and arranged on the first plating structure. The second plating structure includes an electrically conductive bridge structure connecting the opposing sidewalls.

Abstract: There is described a method of determining whether a fraud claim initiated by a client is legitimate. The method is performed by one or more processors. A fraud claim is received from the client. The fraud claim is in respect of a potentially fraudulent transaction associated with the client. Client data associated with the client is retrieved. The client data includes data relating to historical financial transactions associated with the client. Based on the data relating to the historical financial transactions associated with the client, and based on one or more parameters of the potentially fraudulent transaction, a fraud score associated with the fraud claim is determined. Based on the fraud score, a determination is made as to whether the fraud claim is legitimate.

Abstract: A component carrier and a method of manufacturing a component carrier are provided. The component carrier includes a stack having a front side and a back side, the stack including a plurality of stacked electrically insulating layer structures, a through hole being narrower in its inner portion compared to its exterior portions and extending through the plurality of electrically insulating layer structures so that sidewalls of each of the electrically insulating layer structures delimit respective parts of the through hole, and an electrically conductive filling medium filling at least a part of the through hole.

Abstract: A first station including a transceiver, a control module, first counters, and a generation module. The transceiver receives information from a second station. The control module generates an adjustment signal based on the information to synchronize the first station to the second station. The first counters, based on the adjustment signal, generate respective count values. The first counters comprise a first counter and second counters. The count value of the first counter is indicative of an amount of time within a first slot of a time division multiple access (TDMA) channel. Each of the count values of the second counters is based on one of the other count values of the first counters. The generation module, in response to the count values of the first counters, generates a control signal. The transceiver, based on the control signal, transmits data in a second time slot on the TDMA channel.

Abstract: A wireless device includes a base counter configured to generate counter signals synchronized with timing of a base station. A generation module is configured to generate a timing control signal in response to the counter signals. A transceiver is configured to, based on the timing control signal, (i) transmit data on a time division multiple access channel, and (ii) transmit the data in a first time slot without transmitting data in a second time slot. The first time slot is allocated by the base station for the wireless device. The second time slot is allocated by the base station for a second station. The wireless device is separate from the second station. The second time slot is subsequent to and abuts the first time slot.
