  • Patent number: 11948917
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a semiconductor package comprising multiple dies encapsulated in multiple molding compounds. In one example, a semiconductor package comprises: a first die or die stack on a substrate; a first molding compound encapsulating the first die or die stack on the substrate; a second die or die stack on the first molding compound; and a second molding compound encapsulating the second die or die stack and at least one portion of the first molding compound. In this example, the first die or die stack is electrically coupled to the substrate using a first wire bond and the second die or die stack is electrically coupled to the substrate using a second wire bond. Additionally, the first molding compound encapsulates the first wire bond and the second molding compound encapsulates the second wire bond. Furthermore, a footprint of the second die overlaps a footprint of the first die.

  • Patent number: 11923074
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for identifying those entities within a network that have the most influence on other entities within the network. A multi-relational network comprising links among a plurality of physicians is generated based on peer network data, wherein each link indicates a first physician that influences a second physician, and a weight of the influence. A decision by a treating physician of the plurality of physicians is decomposed, using a deep learning engine, into a magnitude of peer influence and a magnitude of control factor influence based on the multi-relational network and a plurality of control factors respectively. The magnitude of peer influence among one or more physicians in the multi-relational network is distributed among physicians in the multi-relational network based on the links each physician maintains with other physicians.

  • Patent number: 7954469
    Abstract: An engine starter system is disclosed. The starter system includes an electric cranking motor having a shaft and configured to crank the engine. The starter system further includes a planetary-type reduction gear unit that has a starter motor ring gear. The starter system has a pinion mechanism mounted on the shaft and configured to selectively engage a ring gear of the engine. A clutch assembly is configured to transmit torque between the shaft and the pinion mechanism. The clutch assembly includes a current conducting material and the starter motor ring gear includes one or more permanent magnets. The starter system employs the principle of Lenz's law to reduce the overrunning rotational speed of the cranking motor upon disengagement of the pinion mechanism from the engine's ring gear after the engine has started.

  • Patent number: 7818555
    Abstract: Machine-readable media, methods, apparatus and system for caption detection are described. In some embodiments, during a non-quiesce state of a system, a configuration data for a configuration update of a configurable device of the system may be calculated, and it may be determined whether the configuration data is final configuration data or intermediate configuration data, wherein the final configuration data may be used to directly enact the configuration update during a quiesce state of the system, while the intermediate configuration data is used to indirectly enact the configuration update during the quiesce state of the system. Further, during the non-quiesce state of the system, if the configuration data is the intermediate configuration data, then codes associated with the configuration data may be determined, wherein the codes may be used to operate the configuration data to obtain the final configuration data during the quiesce state of the system.

  • Patent number: 6744146
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the invention may utilize integrated starter-alternator (ISA) electronics to drive a conventional DC starter coupled to a start-stop ISA system providing a voltage higher than that at which the starter is rated. The DC starter may cold crank an internal combustion engine, while a poly-phase starter alternator warn cranks the engine and converts mechanical energy to an AC current. The AC current may be converted to a DC current to provide charging functions. A reduced average voltage is provided to the DC starter and an adjustable-frequency alternating current may be provided to the starter alternator.
