  • Patent number: 11961920
    Abstract: An integrated circuit package and method of fabrication are described. The integrated circuit package includes a lead frame having a first surface and a second opposing surface and a semiconductor die having a first, active surface in which circuitry is disposed and a second opposing surface attached to the first surface of the lead frame. A magnet attached to the second surface of the lead frame has a non-contiguous central region and at least one channel extending laterally from the central region. An overmold material forms an enclosure surrounding the magnet, semiconductor die, and a portion of the lead frame.

  • Patent number: 10195071
    Abstract: Bruxism, which is a human medical condition characterized by clenching of the jaw and/or grinding of teeth, leads to conditions such as severe tooth wear and Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorder. Described herein is a biofeedback device that utilizes the human physiological reflex to open the mouth when the nasal airway is obstructed. The device and method blocks the nasal airway while clenching, but allows nasal respiration while not clenching. Clenching of the jaw and breathing through the mouth cannot happen simultaneously while unconscious.

  • Patent number: 10055162
    Abstract: A write request is received to write a data block having a logical block address to a nonvolatile storage device. The method includes writing a value of the data block to the nonvolatile storage device. The writing includes locating a position in a tree-based data structure that includes first and second nodes. The first node is configured to store a first set of data blocks having logical block addresses in a first numerical range, and the second node is configured to store a second set of data blocks having logical block addresses in a second numerical range. The position is located in the first node or the second node depending on the value of the logical block address. The writing includes storing the value of the data block in the position in the tree-based data structure.
