Publication number: 20250046685Abstract: A method for assembling a chip includes attaching a first side of each die of multiple dies to a respective at least one paddle of multiple paddles of a lead-frame strip, and attaching each of at least one paddle of multiple paddles of a clip-frame strip to a second side of the respective die of the multiple dies. As compared to a semiconductor-packaging method that places individual clips on the second sides of multiple dies one at a time, such a method can be less expensive, less complex, faster, have a higher yield, and/or can reduce the per-component cost of integrated circuits (ICs) and/or other components packaged according to this method.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2023Publication date: February 6, 2025Applicant: Siliconix IncorporatedInventors: Barry LIN, Tony CHIU

Patent number: 12073682Abstract: The innovations herein concern a frontend game development platform, wherein games developed by the platform comprise: a composable state machine having a plurality of states, wherein each of the plurality of states supports customizable game logic and a plurality of triggers. In prior art GDK slot game engines, most games had a fairly rigid structure that did not easily accommodate custom game developer functionality. The innovations presented herein thus provide a more flexible frontend game (e.g., slot game) development platform and a game engine that provides developers with the ability to easily insert their own custom logic steps or stages into outcome calculation and game flow/presentation. In addition, the improved game engine will provide developers the ability to have game execution flow defined externally—and in a way that it may be modified without the need for a recompilation of the configuration files and/or state machines with each code modification.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2022Date of Patent: August 27, 2024Assignee: Aristocrat Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Joshua Morgan, Alexander Appa, Phillip Foster, Tony Chiu

Publication number: 20060246572Abstract: Systems, methods and algorithms for automatically performing optimization of an electroporation system. A system according to the present invention typically includes a cuvette holding assembly configured to hold a plurality of electroporation cuvettes, wherein each cuvette includes a first and second electrode, and a shocking chamber configured to hold the cuvette holding assembly, the chamber having a commutator assembly configured to provide an electrical contact to the first electrode of each of the plurality of cuvettes in turn. The system also typically includes a control system communicably coupled to the shocking chamber, wherein the control system controls the commutator to automatically contact the first electrode of each cuvette in an order and to provide a potential across the cuvette electrodes when contact is made.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2006Publication date: November 2, 2006Applicant: Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Charles Ragsdale, Julie Moore, William Heiser, Tony Chiu, Keith Kaste

Patent number: 6771082Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus for stabilizing resistance measurements in electroporation systems so as to achieve high-accuracy measurements, and for controlling the pulse duration, or time constant, of electroporation pulses. Circuitry is provided to accurately determine the resistance of a sample in the electroporation system, for example a sample provided in an electroporation cuvette. Additionally, a resistance control system is provided to automatically measure the resistance of a sample, determine a capacitance and determine a parallel add-on resistance that substantially provides a desired pulse duration (time constant) for an electroporation pulse.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2002Date of Patent: August 3, 2004Assignee: Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Charles W. Ragsdale, Tony Chiu
