Abstract: The present invention proposes a BGA package capable of increasing heat-spreading effect and preventing EMI. The BGA package of the present invention comprises a BGA substrate with a conductive ring formed on the periphery thereof. The BGA substrate has a metal layer electrically connected to the conductive ring. At least an IC chip is arranged on the BGA substrate. A cap capable of conducting both electricity and heat covers over the chip. The periphery of the cap is sealed with the conductive ring. Raise parts formed in the cap contacts with the chip to conduct heat out. Moreover, the cap, the conductive ring, and the metal layer can form a shield of EMI for the chip.

Abstract: A control device, like a pointing stick, for controlling the positioning, movement and operation of a responsive electrical device, like a cursor on a computer display screen. There is a compact gimbal mounted joystick 10 that has a stick assembly 14; a gimbal assembly 12 having the stick assembly mounted thereon; a sensor 42 and 44, mounted to the gimbal assembly, for generating an output signal indicative of a position of the stick assembly; and a switch 50, positioned below the stick assembly, to be activated when the stick assembly is sufficiently displaced to close the switch. Additionally there is a biasing means 56, positioned about the switch and extending to the gimbal assembly, the biasing means forcing the gimbal assembly into a centering position when not in use.
