Abstract: In one aspect, the present invention features a method of manufacturing an integrated circuit package including providing a substrate having a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, a cavity through the substrate between the first and second surfaces and a conductive via extending through the substrate and electrically connecting the first surface of the substrate with the second surface of the substrate, applying a strip to the second surface of the substrate, mounting a semiconductor die on the strip, at least a portion of the semiconductor die being disposed inside the cavity, encapsulating in a molding material at least a portion of the first surface of the substrate, and removing the strip from the substrate.

Abstract: A liquid meter assembly for collecting, metering and monitoring liquid is disclosed. The assembly comprises a container for collecting the liquid, an electrically powered strain gauge suspension device for supporting the container and for determining the weight of the liquid collected in the container and a handle on the container for interconnecting with the strain gauge suspension device. A length of tubing is attached to the container and adapted for interconnecting with the source of the liquid. A tubing support system is included on the strain gauge suspension device for fixedly supporting the tubing to substantially inhibit influence on weight determination due to any movement thereon. A power supply is included in the assembly for supplying power to the strain gauge suspension device.
