  • Publication number: 20250118645
    Abstract: Integrated circuit (IC) packages employing a capacitor-embedded, redistribution layer (RDL) substrate and related fabrication methods. The embedded capacitor can be coupled to a power distribution network (PDN) to provide decoupling capacitance to reduce current-resistance (IR) drop. The RDL substrate is disposed between the IC chip(s) and the package substrate to minimize distance between the embedded capacitor(s) and the IC chip(s) to reduce the parasitic inductance in the PDN, thus reducing PDN noise. With the RDL substrate disposed between the package substrate and the IC chip(s), the RDL substrate needs to support through-interconnections between the package substrate and the IC chip(s). In this regard, the RDL substrate includes an outer RDL layer adjacent to the IC chip(s) to support small pitch metal interconnects as well as provide fan-out capability.

  • Patent number: 11864537
    Abstract: An AI-based system and method for feed monitoring in a land-based fish farm, where the fish farm has a tank containing fish and an effluent pipe that is coupled to the tank where uneaten feed pellets and non-pellet objects flow through the effluent pipe to an exit port. A feed camera is mounted to an effluent pipe for capturing a video feed having images of objects that traverse a field of view of the feed camera when each image is acquired. A special-purpose computer executes a pellet-tracking algorithm that employs a region of interest (ROI) proposal module, an ROI classification module, an ROI tracking module, and a trajectory classification module for at least counting uneaten feed pellets. The computer generates in real time a pellet count based on the pellet trajectories.
