  • Publication number: 20260030442
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a system, software application, and methods for providing an improved electronic written communication that sounds like the user, as well as being tailor-fit to the writing style of the recipient in order to avoid miscommunication caused by personality, clarity, cultural, or generational writing differences. Systems and methods of the present disclosure may enhance written electronic communication through the integration of personalized profiles for both senders and recipients. By leveraging advanced stylometry and behavioral psychology profiling, the system tailors communications to fit individual needs. Additionally, this solution ensures that system-generated content matches the sender's natural writing style, saving time and maintaining authenticity. The system also provides real-time feedback and adjustments to avoid potential communication frictions.

  • Patent number: 9293439
    Abstract: An improved electronic module assembly and method of fabrication is disclosed. A patterned array of adhesive is deposited on a laminate, to which a chip is attached. Each region of adhesive is referred to as a lid tie. A lid is placed on the laminate, and is in contact with the lid ties. The lid ties serve to add stability to the laminate and reduce flexing during thermal processing and mechanical stress.

  • Patent number: 7841078
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method, system, and computer program storage product for optimizing land grid array site geometry on an electronic assembly mounting. A first member including at least one convex region is aligned with a first portion of an electronic assembly mounting. A second member is aligned with a second portion of the electronic assembly mounting. The second portion includes at least one concave region corresponding to the convex region of the first portion. The second member includes a dome-shaped region having a predefined geometry. Heat is applied to at least one of the electronic assembly mounting, the first member, and the second member. Pressure is applied to at least one of the first member and the second member to reshape the convex region into a substantially flat surface. Applying pressure also reshapes the concave region into a geometry corresponding to the predefined geometry of the dome-shaped region.

  • Publication number: 20060071775
    Abstract: A communication and intelligence gathering system and method for monitoring a crisis scene from a remote command post. The system includes an access node positioned within communication range of multiple observation platforms that each provide information relating to the crisis scene, such as a video feed. The access node communicates with a main transfer module that relays the audio/video/data from the crisis scene to a main transfer module remotely positioned. A second main transfer module communicates with a field command post such that personnel at the field command post can monitor, react to and manage the crisis situation from the remote location. The access node position near the crisis scene also communications video and relevant information to field agents such that the field agents can monitor the video and information from a hand held/portable device.

  • Patent number: 6974071
    Abstract: An apparatus for applying solder to an electronic circuit board substrate includes a solder wave device for generating a molten wave of solder and, above that, a movable substrate holder. The substrate holder includes a support for an electronic circuit board substrate inclined at an angle with respect to the direction and an opening on a bottom thereof for access of a protruding connector disposed near an end of the substrate to the molten solder wave. The angle of incline is sufficient to prevent a component disposed at a distance from the end of the substrate from contacting the molten solder wave when the substrate holder is moved over the solder wave device. A shield in the substrate holder prevents the component not to be soldered from contacting the molten solder wave.
