Abstract: Leadframe for a semiconductor package and manufacturing from such leadframe including a plurality of connection leads supported in a frame. Die mounting plate is centrally located in the leadframe and is supported by a plurality of support leads which are electrically connected to the die mounting pad and extending in a direction outwardly therefrom towards the frame. Each support lead is formed with a connection pad portion and a down set link portion. Each connection pad portion is spaced from the die mounting plate and is connected to a conductive bonding ground wire from a semiconductor device mounted on the die mounting plate. Each down set link portion is electrically connected to the die mounting pad and supports the die mounting pad in a spaced arrangement from the connection leads. The connection pad portion and the down set link portion overlap, in the direction of extension of the support lead.

Abstract: A method for controlling a virtual role includes: initiating, by a source virtual role client, a virtual role trip request carrying an identification of a destination virtual role client to a control server on the network side; establishing, by the control server, a session between the source virtual role client and the destination virtual role client, and sending attribute information of the virtual role to the destination virtual role client through the network; displaying, by the destination virtual role client, the virtual role in a local user interface. Structures of the control server and systems for controlling virtual role are also provided. According to the present invention, a virtual role of a source virtual role client can make a trip to a destination virtual role client through the network without relying on a user client.

Abstract: A method for depositing an epitaxial Ge—Sn layer on a substrate in a CVD reaction chamber includes introducing into the chamber a gaseous precursor comprising SnD4 under conditions whereby the epitaxial Ge—Sn layer is formed on the substrate. the gaseous precursor comprises SnD4 and high purity H2 of about 15-20% by volume. The gaseous precursor is introduced at a temperature in a range of about 250° C. to about 350° C. Using the process device-quality Sn—Ge materials with tunable bandgaps can be grown directly on Si substrates.

Abstract: A disk drive has multiple disk surfaces and corresponding heads, each disk surface includes multiple regions, and each head is for recording on and playback of information from a corresponding disk surface. The data track density in a first region on a first disk surface is different than the data track density in a second region on a second disk surface, and the first and second regions are radially similarly situated regions. A method of sequentially accessing data in the first and second regions includes sequentially accessing data tracks in the first region and then sequentially accessing data tracks in the second region.

Abstract: This invention relates to a retaining bracket for a window/bathroom curtain which has a base body and a pushing member. The pushing member has projecting tabs located in each of its two lateral sides. By urging the pushing member against the base body, a clamping force will be produced to clamp a fixed edge of the curtain. The pushing member can also be moved downwardly and, by inserting the tabs into corresponding holes in the base body exert a clamping force in this position. In both upper and the lower positions the pushing member can exert a clamping force on the curtain. In addition, a hook, which is attached to a side of the base body, will retain the curtain in a folded position and will also prevent the window or bathroom curtain from being pulled excessively.
