Abstract: A control method for preparing crop nutrient solution, applied in a regulating device, obtains growth data of crops, and determines a growth state of the crops according to the growth data of the crops. The proportion of the nutrient solution required by the crops is determined according to the growth states of the crops, and the culture solution is adjusted according to the proportion of the nutrient solution. After a preset time period, updated growth state of the crops is determined. When the culture solution does not meet the proportion of the nutrient solution corresponding to the updated growth state, the culture solution is adjusted again until the culture solution meet the proportion of the nutrient solution corresponding to the growth state of the crops.

Abstract: A system on chip (SoC) die package is attached to a redistribution structure of a semiconductor device package such that a top surface of the SoC die package is above a top surface of an adjacent memory die package. This may be achieved through the use of various attachment structures that increase the height of the SoC die package. After encapsulating the memory die package and the SoC die package in an encapsulation layer, the encapsulation layer is grinded down. The top surface of the SoC die package being above the top surface of the adjacent memory die package results in the top surface of the SoC die package being exposed through the encapsulation layer after the grinding operation. This enables heat to be dissipated through the top surface of the SoC die package.
