  • Publication number: 20150183833
    Abstract: The invention provides a deglycosylated hemagglutinin, wherein the glycosylation site(s) on the stem region is removed. The deglycosylated hemagglutinin may induce neutralizing antibody against influenza virus, and cross-reactive protection against different virus. The invention also provides a method for manufacturing deglycosylated hemagglutinin, comprising aligning two or more hemagglutinin stem sequences of influenza virus, identifying the high conserved N-glycosylation site, and removing the high conserved N-glycosylation site. Thus, the N-glycosylation site cannot be glycosyalted.

  • Publication number: 20020140113
    Abstract: A semiconductor die package has a lead frame, a die attached to the lead frame and an encapsulant enclosing the lead frame and the die. The distance between the top outside face of the encapsulant and the frame is substantially equal to the distance between the bottom outside face of the encapsulant and the die, and the distance between the top outside face of the encapsulant and the frame is substantially two and half times the distance between the bottom outside face of the encapsulant and the lead frame. Consequently, the different thickness of different encapsulant portions achieves an optimum balance during curing that effectively reduces the deformation of the encapsulant. In addition, the encapsulant can be completely formed by an injection process, and no crack will form in the encapsulant.

  • Patent number: 6380062
    Abstract: A method for forming ball grid array package. The ball grid array package has internal trace lines and exposed metal pegs. A metal substrate is provided. Electroplated layers are formed over metal peg regions and a die pad region on the surface of the metal substrate. A layer of substrate material at the top surface of the metal substrate is removed so that thickness of the metal substrate is reduced. Hence, trace lines, die pad and internal metal pegs are formed. A die is attached to the die pad and electrical connections from the die to the internal metal pegs are made. A molding process is carried out to enclose the die, the die pad and the internal metal pegs on one side of the metal substrate with plastic material. The lower surface of the metal substrate is etched to form external metal pegs while exposing the mold material and the bottom surface of the die pad. The internal metal pegs and the external metal pegs are interconnected via the trace lines.
