Abstract: A stacked chip scale semiconductor device includes one or more semiconductor die stacks. Each semiconductor die stack may include a pair of semiconductor dies. A first of the pair of semiconductor dies may be provided with a pattern of contact pads distributed across its major surface configured to be flip chip bonded to a host device. A second of the pair of semiconductor dies may include a row of contact pads. The first semiconductor die may be bonded on top of the second semiconductor die in an offset, stepped configuration so that the row of contact pads of the second semiconductor die is left exposed. Like channels of contact pads on the first and second semiconductor dies may then be electrically coupled by additive manufacturing or conductive trace printing.

Abstract: Technology for a memory device having memory dies flip-chip bonded to one or more interposers that are mounted to a system board is disclosed. The memory device may be an SSD and the system board may be an M.2 board. A memory controller die may be bonded to one of the interposer boards. In one aspect, the memory controller die is flip-chip bonded to the interposer board. In one aspect, a heat sink is attached to a top surface of the flip-chip bonded controller die and to top surfaces of a group of the memory dies. Neither the memory dies nor the interposers are covered with a mold compound. Performance of the memory device is improved by, for example, lower inductance and improved heat dissipation.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a wall joint with a mechanical connector and methods of assembly. The wall joint comprises a pair of walls, each wall comprises a first surface and at least one stud protruding from the first surface, wherein the first surfaces face each other with a gap in between; a mechanical connector having at least one pair of slots, wherein the at least one pair of slots are engaged with the at least one stud of each wall; and cured grout in the gap. The assembly method comprises providing a pair of walls, each wall comprises a first surface and at least one stud protruding from the first surface; arranging the first surfaces to face each other with a gap in between; inserting a mechanical connector into the gap, the mechanical connector comprises at least one pair of slots; engaging the studs with the at least one pair of slots; dispensing grout into the gap; and curing the grout to join the walls to form the wall joint.

Abstract: Methods and systems provide for automated visual recognition for atmospheric visibility measurement. First, the method selects and processes one or more images and/or videos with a sufficiently high level of visibility. Second, the method receives manually inputted distance and position data of each target object. The method employs a machine learning model which is trained to recognize objects in the image(s) or video(s). The method then uses the trained model to recognize objects in the image(s) or video(s). For each target object, the method determines whether the target object is recognized in the image(s) or video(s). If the target object is recognized in an image or video, the method determines that the visibility distance in that image or video reaches the distance of the target object. If the target object is not recognized in an image or video, the method determines that visibility distance in that image or video is lower than the distance of the target object.

Abstract: A media transport includes a feed roller to be rotated in a first direction, and an input/output roller to be rotated in the first direction to direct media into a media path with rotation of the feed roller in the first direction, where the feed roller is to be rotated in a second direction opposite the first direction to advance the media within the media path and, with the rotation of the feed roller in the second direction, the input/output roller is to be temporarily decoupled from rotation with the feed roller.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for non-destructive testing of a composite structure utilizing sonic or ultrasonic waves. In response to a wideband chirp wave sonic excitation signal transmitted from a probe to the composite structure, a probe signal received is correlated with a library of predetermined probe signals and a graphical representation of defects detected is generated. The graphical representation provides detailed information on defect type, defect location and defect shape.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel proteins having esterase activity, to mutants thereof, to nucleic acid sequences coding therefor, to expression cassettes, vectors and recombinant microorganisms; to methods for preparing said proteins and to the use thereof for enzymic, in particular enantioselective enzymic, ester hydrolysis or transesterification of organic esters.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for installation of an energy chain system onto equipments at an operation site. A base fixture is provided at a preparation site which is independently operable from the operation site. A drag chain assembly and an auxiliary fixture are attached to the base fixture. Cables/hoses required to be installed onto equipments at the operation site are arranged and attached to the auxiliary fixture. The base fixture carrying the drag chain assembly, the auxiliary fixture and the cables/hoses pre-arranged on the auxiliary fixture are then transported to the operation site to enable cable/hose installation and connection to the equipments. The auxiliary fixture is removed upon completion of the cable/hose installation and connection.
